According to the “Seoul Economic Daily”, quoting anonymous government officials, the asset size of the Korea National Pension Service exceeded 1,700 trillion won as of May 6 due to record yields of over 15% during the year and the suspension of asset rebalancing operations. The fund's estimated profit so far this year was 250 trillion won, almost equal to the total earnings for the full year of 2025; the sharp rise in earnings was mainly due to the strong performance of the Korea Composite Stock Price Index. In January of this year, the National Pension Service raised the local stock allocation target to 14.9%, while suspending asset rebalancing rules to avoid mechanically reducing stock holdings in the face of the rise in the Korean Composite Index. The South Korean government will hold a fund management committee meeting at the end of this month to finalize the 2027-2031 asset allocation plan. There is a possibility that the Korean stock allocation ratio will be further increased.
