surplus of social security contributions
Explanation:
Superávit in economic terms is called "surplus" in English - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_surplus

and "cotizaciones" in this context only makes sense with the second definition here - http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cotización

That would mean that Social Security contribution surpluses are invested with the purpose of creating more jobs, which makes perfect sense (that is, the excess in Social Security contributions goes towards something that is beneficial for workers - a justification for the existence of surpluses and their use in the system)

You could also turn it around and call it "social security contribution surplus," but that's a matter of taste.

IPO (or placement) surplus


Explanation:
Es una idea... necesitaría más contexto para responder con más seguridad.

Usaría IPO (initial public offering) si se refiere a compañías que salen al mercado por primera vez, sino utilizaría "placement".

Espero te ayude!
