The use of cloud-native AI in pension fund investment management is rapidly transforming future financial decision-making, risk assessment, and sustainability. Taking advantage of Microsoft Azure's powerful AI and ML, pension funds can use the cloud to enhance their decision-making process by providing the best approach to investing their resources. In other words, by integrating AI into pension funds, it would be possible to personalize and diversify the portfolio and achieve ESG objectives. This paper aims to describe how the cloud-native AI solutions in Azure are of help when it comes to real-time data processing, predictions, and decision-making for pension funds. The need for an organization to highly optimizes the investments while following the business rules and compliance standards is inevitable for the organization through Azure Machine Learning, Azure Databricks, and Power BI. In addition, by using AI, relevant customers find better solutions to do with financial planners, robo-advisors, and risk management solutions that are artificially intelligent. It has become apparent that sustainability is increasingly important to pension funds, which was reflected in investment strategies for certain levels of integrating ESG data through AI models. However, critical issues like the legal requirements and legal concerns or the public scrutiny over the technology need to be addressed properly for the non-problematic use of Artificial Intelligence. These papers seek to demonstrate how cloud-native AI can help pension fund management while noting the main challenges to its implementation. Through leveraging AI solutions on Azure, pension funds will be able to realize long-term returns on investment, good corporate governance, and sustainable investments that are ESG compliant
