The reduction in investment asset value is due to the increase in amortizations, as the accumulated increases in amortizations, evaluated in terms of amortizations from the period, deductions and adjustments, is higher than the accumulated increases in gross asset value, evaluated in terms of investment, deductions and adjustments.

This happened because on one hand the ICP was not able to reach the forecasted investment figure outlined in the plan, while on the other the amortizations from the period increased greatly due to strong levels of investment made in the last few years.
