het luik Corporate Bonds
the fund's exposure to corporate bonds; the proportional share of corporate bonds in the portfolio


Explanation:
This basically refers to the pension fund's exposure to corporate bonds. Or to put it differently: the proportion of the fund's assets which is allocated to (i.e. invested in) corporate bonds. You could also say: the proportional share of corporate bonds in the fund's investment portfolio.

See also D-box and my reference comment.

I would avoid a too literal translation and opt for something more natural/idiomatic like:
Corporate bonds issued by Spanish issuers total/totalled 20% of the fund's exposure to corporate bonds / (...) the fund's investments in corporate bonds.

Reference information:
Aansluitend bij hetgeen al in de D-box is opgemerkt (luik (BE) = deel, onderdeel, zie bijv. ook http://www.vlaamswoordenboek.be/definities/term/luik), hierbij nog wat voorbeelden waaruit blijkt dat 'het luik corporate bonds' hier zeer waarschijnlijk verwijst naar het deel van de beleggingsportefeuille dat door het pensioenfonds in bedrijfsobligaties is/wordt belegd.

Het beleggingsbeleid vormt een belangrijk onderdeel van het beleid van het pensioenfonds als geheel en dient een optimale bijdrage te leveren aan de realisatie van de pensioenafspraken binnen aanvaardbare risicogrenzen. Het fonds doet dit door een belangrijk deel van de beleggingsportefeuille met een heel beperkt risico te beleggen (relatief veilige staatsobligaties), en het andere deel van de portefeuille in een zo goed mogelijk gediversifieerde portefeuille te beleggen met wat meer risico (bedrijfsobligaties, aandelen en vastgoed) om zo een wat hoger rendement te kunnen behalen om zo de pensioenaanspraken te kunnen indexeren.

The fund aims to provide long term growth mainly from the reinvestment of income generated by investing predominantly in Sterling denominated corporate bonds. The fund is actively managed by our investment team who may also invest a proportion of assets in other bonds (e.g. overseas bonds and gilts) and/or money market instruments to try to take advantage of opportunities they have identified.

And see f.i. also http://tinyurl.com/zbbhwvd.

Basically, a pension fund's investment policy is all about achieving maximum returns through optimum asset allocation (breakdown of the assets held in the fund). More specifically in this case, reference is being made to the proportion of the fund's assets which is invested in corporate bonds (i.e. the fund's exposure to corporate bonds).
