Portfolio Overview

Since the National Pension Fund (NPF) was established under the National Pension Act in 1988, the NPF has grown exponentially to reach KRW 1140 trillion at the end of August, 2024. The National Pension Service (NPS) focuses on delivering stable returns and better managing risks by scaling down the allocation to domestic fixed income and ramping up investments in overseas and alternative assets as part of its portfolio diversification strategy.
