KUALA LUMPUR: The Employees Provident Fund (EPF)recorded an investment income of RM4.8 billion in the second quarter of 2009, as investments in equities raked in better returns.

The income was 46.64 per cent better than the RM3.27 billion accrued in the first quarter of this year, EPF said in a statement here today.
