Since 1997, the company has specialised in helping Mexican families secure their future through Afore, pension, and loan services. Awarded after rigorous analysis by International Finance’s editorial committee, this recognition honours companies that demonstrate operational excellence, robust corporate governance, meaningful social impact, and significant contributions to the advancement of global financial development.

In Profuturo’s case, the results speak for themselves. As of June 13, 2025, the company was managing eight of the top ten generational funds with the best returns in the system, according to the Net Performance Indicator published by the National Commission for the Retirement Savings System (CONSAR). Its average nominal yield of 8.1% underscores its disciplined and resilient management, even amidst fluctuating macroeconomic conditions.

For Antonio de Jesús Sibaja Luna, executive director of investment strategies at Profuturo, this performance stems from a clear, client-focused vision based on solid fundamentals.

“Profuturo’s resource management is guided not only by its institutional policies, but also by a genuine commitment to our clients. We have shown that it is possible to maintain consistent returns even in challenging and ever-changing economic environments. This reflects our technical capacity, but above all, our commitment to properly managing the retirement funds of millions of Mexicans,” he said.

Beyond its financial performance, Profuturo has strengthened its reputation with a comprehensive strategy that combines operational excellence, innovation, and proximity to its more than eight million clients. The company has been awarded first place in the Corporate Integrity 500 Index (IC500) for five consecutive years. In 2025, it was recognised as an Exceptional Company in three categories for its good corporate practices.

A key pillar in achieving these goals has been financial education. Profuturo stands out as the only Afore to have achieved 100% compliance with CONSAR’s Financial and Pension Education Census for three consecutive years. Additionally, the company has developed digital platforms like Profuturo Asesora, which empowers users to make informed decisions with accessible, life-stage-tailored content.

With a long-term perspective, Profuturo has enhanced its capacity to create social value through programmes such as Proemprende, Profukids, and specific initiatives for women and retirees focused on financial inclusion and intergenerational equity.

During an exclusive interaction with International Finance, Profuturo CEO Arturo García said, “Receiving this award and being named the best Afore in Mexico represents a great responsibility and a source of pride for our entire team. At Profuturo, we work hard every day to offer solid, reliable, and client-focused savings solutions. This recognition motivates us to continue to build a better future for millions of Mexicans.”

Today, Profuturo celebrates this special honour with the same commitment that it shows every day: providing exceptional service and guidance to clients so they can make informed decisions and fully realise the future they envision. Behind every savings choice and every step toward retirement lies a powerful idea: “Your future self.”

Since 1997, the venture has specialised in helping Mexican families build their future through Afore, Pension and Loan services, guaranteeing the latter their best possible future with the support of more than 100 years of experience of Grupo Bal.

With the mission of enabling Mexicans to safeguard their financial future, Profuturo is creating a bond of co-responsibility with its clients by providing honest and professional advice to face tomorrow in the best possible way. With a client base exceeding 8 million and a savings portfolio under management of over 1.4 trillion pesos (approximately 70 billion USD), the company continues to demonstrate exceptional performance, driven by its customer-centric approach and long-term investment strategy, while staying true to its operational values: loyalty, empathy, collaboration, simplicity, integrity and respect.

International Finance recognises financial institutions for their innovative contributions in areas such as social responsibility, corporate governance, and initiatives that benefit the community, while also acknowledging notable achievements within their respective fields. The annual event not only celebrates talent and leadership in the industry but also the global corporate capacity to meet high standards.

Profuturo, which met all the above-mentioned criteria, has underscored its commitment to the financial well-being of the Mexican people and its dedication to providing state-of-the-art, effective solutions in the management of clients’ assets, ensuring a dignified, prosperous, and calm retirement.

The award further validates the company’s pledge to uphold high standards of transparency, ethics, and service, resulting in increased customer satisfaction and loyalty, assuring clients that their financial future is well-protected. Due to Profuturo’s investment strategy, it has been recognised as a company 100% specialised in retirement solutions. Profuturo offers the best advisory, returns and service in the market, and as a result, we have been acknowledged as the best pension fund in Mexico.

Additionally, for the second consecutive year, it stands as the only Afore in Mexico to achieve 100% compliance across all categories evaluated by CONSAR in the 2023 and 2024 Financial and Pension Education Censuses, showcasing its leadership in promoting financial education. This distinction reflects Profuturo’s commitment to equipping Mexicans with the tools necessary for making informed decisions about their financial futures.

The company also prioritises workplace inclusion and healthcare for elderly adults, fostering a non-discriminatory professional environment and ensuring dignified attention for elderly clients.

Profuturo CEO Arturo García told International Finance, “We are dedicated to safeguarding the assets of the Mexican people and encouraging them to save for retirement, aiming for a better and more prosperous future. These awards highlight the success of our customer-centred approach, as well as our financial strength and market leadership.”

Arturo García further emphasised that “these distinctions also represent the effort and dedication of our employees, who strive tirelessly to deliver the best possible outcomes for our clients.”

As a pioneer in the retirement savings industry in Mexico, Profuturo has solidified its position as one of the country’s leading pension fund managers. The company offers afore, pension, and loan services with a commitment to providing honest, professional advice, consistently prioritising the best interests of its clients.

Profuturo remains steadfast in its mission to protect the financial future of the Mexican population by adhering to a strategy focused on excellence and customer satisfaction.

“We provide security and advice to guarantee that our client’s future is always the best possible,” stated the leading Mexican financial advising and retirement fund management venture, which received the honour of being the ‘Best Pension Fund Manager’ for the fifth consecutive year by the International Finance Awards.

“This recognition evidences Profuturo’s commitment to the protection of the Mexican population’s resources, helping Mexican workers to increase their savings for retirement, thereby promoting the development of the country,” Profuturo said.

“The company maintains this long-term objective by offering professional advising services to its more than seven million customers. This extensive client base has been developed as a result of Profuturo’s customer-centred approach and a solid operational structure that ensures the implementation of investment management best practices,” it added further.

Profuturo’s IF award confirms its successful investment strategy, resulting in one billion pesos (MXN) managed across its three business lines.

Rising to the top with top-notch services

Profuturo also chaired Amafore’s Investment Committee for three years, promoting regulatory improvements and closer ties with authorities for the benefit of the investment system.

“A fundamental component of Profuturo’s success is its customer service model, which has been strengthened in recent years through the company’s client listening and sentiment programs, which allow it to obtain feedback on its processes, correct these, and show continuous improvement,” the venture told the International Finance.

Profuturo has also strengthened its client advising and communication programs by relying on behavioural economics theories that prompt the company to take proactive actions and improve its future prospects.

The soundness of the above practice has been evidenced by Profuturo’s retirement advising programs, through which the workers are now supported in three fundamental ways: helping them to understand their current situation with respect to their retirement, raising their awareness of the importance of establishing a future vision, and equipping them with the technical and administrative knowledge before they start the pension withdrawal process.

In order to provide its clients with financial knowledge and skills, the company has developed the Profuturo Asesora platform, a microsite focused in raising awareness about the importance of taking personal savings-related actions.

Profuturo’s monthly digital communication program (Digital Advising or Asesoría Digital) has over two million subscribed clients. Each month, these individuals receive their balance as well as financial education materials.

The company promotes the use of the ‘Profuturo Movil App’ to perform various retirement planning actions like checking balances, deposits, withdrawals, and updating data. The app even allows customers to make unemployment withdrawals.

Profuturo CEO, Arturo Garcia Rodriguez, told the business publication, “We are certain that this award stems from the effort and dedication of all Profuturo employees, who strive day after day to provide top-level service to all our clients, with the sole objective of providing a decent pension and a better future.”

“We are proud to be recognized by International Finance for the fifth consecutive year, thus demonstrating our commitment to the future of all Mexicans and the development of the country. This award assures us that we are on the right track, and it encourages us to continue to implement best practices for the benefit of our clients and our beloved country,” Arturo concluded.

The company has redoubled its commitment to offer the highest standards of quality and service in order to maintain its leadership and establish itself as the optimal alternative for Mexican workers. The company has been awarded as the Best Pension Fund Manager at the International Finance Awards for the fourth consecutive year.

Profuturo’s 25-year history is characterized by innovation and continuous improvement in order to remain at the cutting edge, and by its mission to properly satisfy the needs of its clients, providing them with the most advantageous advisory services for their retirement. Throughout these years, the company has developed and incorporated various new practices and criteria in accordance with international standards to ensure solid investment management with a long-term vision and exemplary governance.

Among the broad array of efforts made by Profuturo in this regard, the company continues to incorporate sustainable, innovative, and exceptional practices, so that it may continue to provide its clients with significant benefits and attractive returns according to a long-term vision that will allow them to improve the quality of their lives in the future.

In line with this long-term vision and the company’s commitment to offer a better future for Mexican workers and for the country, since 2018 Profuturo has adopted ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) criteria in its portfolio management in order to offer its clients greater benefits while taking care of the environment.

For Profuturo, the incorporation of these types of criteria has been a natural step beginning that same year, when, within the framework of the signing of the cooperation and exchange agreement between the Green Finance Advisory Council (CCFV, Spanish initials) and the Green Finance Initiative of the City of London Corporation, Profuturo signed the investors’ statement on disclosure of ESG information, which, with the support of 51 institutional investors, promotes greater incorporation of these aspects into investment management while increasing transparency, sustainability, and the social benefits of the corresponding investment projects.

Through this statement, Profuturo, a member of the CCFV, made a commitment to the inclusion of a greater proportion of green assets in its investment portfolio. The company also aims to promote the long-term development of sustainable infrastructure in Mexico and incorporate a greater number of environmental, social, and governance factors into its investment management process.

Subsequently, in 2019 Profuturo signed the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI), representing another milestone on the company’s road to continued strengthening and promotion of environmental, social, and governance elements in its investments. These principles are a set of six voluntary and aspirational precepts for the gradual incorporation of environmental, social, and governance
criteria into investment practice.

“This type of practice allows us to maintain a more harmonious and sustainable economic development, in addition to helping Mexicans achieve their goals for the future. We confirm our commitment to the advancement of responsible investing regarding the economy and society by thinking in the long term, thus positively impacting the future of Mexicans,” said Arturo García, CEO of Profuturo.

In line with its commitment to strengthen its investment portfolio with a sustainable approach, Profuturo became the first pension fund manager in Mexico to sign an agreement with the globally prestigious CFA institute, in order to certify its entire investment and risk teams in environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) matters. Through this training, Profuturo is convinced that its team will be better prepared and have a greater understanding of the trends in sustainable development and their application in investment processes.

The ESG criteria also help Profuturo to better allocate investments and obtain positive results, allowing it to achieve one of the highest scores in the governance pillar of the PRI (Principles of Responsible Investment). Furthermore, these criteria are fully consistent with our long-term vision for the benefit of our clients and Mexico.

In 2021, the Principles for Responsible Investment awarded the group an A rating for its responsible investment policy. This assessment is above average in Latin America and, internationally, which is only one step below the maximum for the category. Profuturo has also been recognized by ALAS 20, a Latin American initiative that comprehensively evaluates, scores, and recognizes excellence in the public
disclosure of information regarding ESG practices.

Finally, Profuturo has reinforced its commitment to providing a friendly and ethical work environment by continually maintaining its status as a Socially Responsible Company, an award given by the Mexican Center for Philanthropy (Cemefi, Spanish Acronym), and the Alliance for Corporate Social Responsibility (AliaRSE, Spanish acronym), in recognition of its outstanding sustainability strategy.

This strengthens Profuturo’s position as one of the leading advisory and fund management companies in Mexico which has been offering better returns for people under 60 years of age . It also highlights Profuturo’s strength as it navigated through a complicated and challenging situation like the Covid-19 pandemic, which impacted the economy and business models globally.

In this regard, Arturo García, General Director of Profuturo said, “We are very proud of the progress made in a year that has been particularly difficult and challenging, supporting our clients to overcome the effects of this crisis, helping to protect and increase their savings, at the same time that we promote projects for the recovery of our economy.”

Profuturo – which is part of Grupo Bal, one of the most important business groups in Mexico, with more than 100 years of contributing to the growth and development of the country – has been working since 1996 helping to build the wealth of Mexican families, offering savings services for the retirement of more than 6 million workers , representing 16.2 percent of the sector’s resources.

Further, for Profuturo it is a source of pride to receive for the third consecutive year the Best Pension Fund Manager Award, granted by International Finance, a globally recognised magazine specialising in business and finance, which has evaluated and recognised talent, leadership and capacity of a wide range of companies in different productive and financial sectors around the world since 2013.

The National Commission of the Retirement Savings System (CONSAR, by its acronym in Spanish) has confirmed, for the second consecutive year, the first place to Profuturo in the MAS AFORE service indicator, which evaluates the attributes of the Fund Administrators of Savings for Retirement (AFORE, by its acronym in Spanish) and the quality of its services for workers.

This indicator assesses the agility and quality of care in the services; territorial coverage of branches; use of non-contact service channels; promotion of voluntary and solidarity saving; and attention provided by the Afores to registered requests.

It is also worth mentioning that since last year, Profuturo has promoted various initiatives to facilitate and accelerate the provision of services, such as the instrumentation of self-service modules in branches that speed up customer service, as well as the provision of digital tools that facilitate interaction with users.

In response to the health emergency, Profuturo prioritised care and protection of the health of its customers and collaborators, for whom it provided free medical service during the onset of the pandemic, as well as care and protection measures, both in the branches as in face-to-face services. For this reason, in addition to its outstanding work environments, the company endorsed its accreditation as a Socially Responsible Company and a Great Place to Work.

In addition, in recognition of the strength of its investment teams and processes, focused since 2019 on the UN Principles for Responsible Investment, Profuturo obtained the Morningstar Silver distinction , the highest awarded among the Afores in Mexico, after the evaluation annually carried out by this prestigious company, specialised in independently analysing investment companies around the world.

Always with the vision of putting clients at the centre, Profuturo maintains its commitment to continue working hard to improve its solid investment management strategy, exploring new markets and increasing the performance of its different tools as well as teams, to provide its clients and to the Mexican market the best results and experiences.

The post Profuturo recognised as one of the leading fund managers in Mexico appeared first on International Finance.

The company’s vision is built on client satisfaction. Since 2017, it has been leading returns for all the funds that manage savings of its clients in the age demographic of under 60 years.1 Profuturo is recognised for having a solid operational structure and corporate governance which ensures implementation of the best investment management practices and continuous integration of innovations that facilitate deeper client interactions. It has managed nearly 16 percent of the total savings that represent the Mexican funds system2 as of July 2020—and has led returns in eight of the 10 generation funds1 which has allowed it to offer an average 9 percent nominal rate3 of return for over a decade—the highest in the system. 

Profuturo ranks high in client service quality indicator 

In the same month, the company even obtained the top position in client service quality indicator created by the Mexican pension regulator in 2013. The indicator4 will help to annually evaluate the attributes of the pension fund managers and assess the quality of customer service. In practice, the indicator uses a methodology based on various variables. These variables are grouped into four global indicators which jointly evaluate the time and quality of pension funds in terms of services, coverage and nationwide presence through office branches and digital customer service channels, number of users that make voluntary savings contributions and services provided by the pension funds to the requests received at the national system website. 

In this regard, it is important to consider Profuturo’s work in implementing several initiatives to facilitate and speed up services since 2019. This includes creation of interactive and personalised advisory videos available in digital channels, installation of self-service modules at branch offices to hasten customer services and disposal of digital tools to facilitate user interaction. 

It demonstrates strong work for clients 

Profuturo has developed a long-term goal to continue strengthening its capabilities, while driving positive transformations that result in better protection and conservation of the environment. Also, it seeks to improve the livelihood of communities globally on the back of becoming a member of the United Nations’ Principles of Responsible Investment (PRI).

Established in 2006, this initiative comprises six voluntary and aspirational investment principles for the gradual incorporation of environmental, social and governance criteria to investments (ESG). More than 3,000 members worldwide along with a wide body of scientific and documentary evidence conform to the initiative—pointing to the multiple benefits which can be obtained for investment projects and investors participating in them. 

With the gradual integration of ESG factors to an increasing number of investment instruments, Profuturo will continue to consolidate its competitive position, increase the positive impact of investments and generate stable returns for clients in the future. In addition to these actions, the company is deeply focused on strengthening its investment management process, studying new market opportunities and building up a sophisticated team to maximise the returns of its investment portfolio. In a nutshell, Profuturo explores new possibilities to obtain the best long-term investment returns for clients. 

Renowned for its pension funds in Mexico 

Profuturo is awarded the Best Pension Fund Mexico for the second consecutive year by International Finance, a premium business magazine published out of London. Arturo García Rodríguez, CEO of Profuturo, said “We are greatly honored to receive for a second consecutive year this important award to the Best Pension Fund, granted by International Finance. For us, this acknowledgement is the result of our continued effort to become the company that obtains the highest benefits for Mexicans, which allow them to attain a better future and a better pension. Likewise, this award encourages us to maintain our long-term commitment with the economic development of Mexico and of all the sectors in which we support projects with our investments.” 

The award is a testament to the company’s leadership position and capabilities in the Mexican funds market. The achievement took place under extraordinary circumstances created by the coronavirus pandemic, further asserting Profuturo’s long-term efforts in delivering solid investment returns.
