NongHyup Financial Accelerates to Lead Fund-Type Retirement Pension Market... 'Unifying Subsidiary Capabilities'

Establishing a Triangular Formation of Banking, Securities, and Asset Management
Lee Chan-woo: "Setting a New Standard Through Integrated Synergy"

NH NongHyup Financial Group announced on April 10, 2026, that it is building a “triangular formation” infrastructure encompassing banking, securities, and asset management in preparation for the introduction of the fund-type retirement pension system, aiming to take the lead in the market.

The principal subsidiary, NongHyup Bank, achieved the highest investment returns among the five major banks for all retirement pension schemes in the fourth quarter of last year. The rates of return for non-principal-guaranteed products were 19.33% for defined benefit (DB), 21.55% for defined contribution (DC), and 22.04% for individual retirement pension (IRP) products.

An official from NongHyup Financial Group stated, “With the introduction of the fund-type retirement pension, we expect to serve as the ‘safest and most reliable vault’ through our fund custody and accounting infrastructure.”

NH Investment & Securities has also established a top-tier external outsourced chief investment officer (OCIO) track record by managing large public funds. In the 2025 Ministry of Employment and Labor’s retirement pension provider evaluation, it was selected as the overall outstanding provider and ranked first in the securities industry.

NH-Amundi Asset Management recently surpassed KRW 1 trillion in total net assets, thanks to the long-term performance of its pension-specialized fund series, “Hanaro TDF Series.”

In particular, NH NongHyup Financial Group provides a “Senior Total Life Care Platform” for customers receiving retirement pensions, offering services ranging from tax consultation to customized retirement asset planning through its group-level senior-focused brand “NH All One Derful.”

In addition, NongHyup Financial Group announced that it is preparing to design a customized pension model by mobilizing its subsidiaries’ capabilities to support farmers, whose income is irregular and assets are concentrated in farmland, in anticipation of the introduction of the “Farmers’ Retirement Pension System,” one of the national policy initiatives for agricultural transformation.

Lee Chan-woo, Chairman of NH NongHyup Financial Group, stated, “By combining the bank’s proven returns and close management capabilities for seniors, the overwhelming OCIO expertise of our securities arm, and the asset management unit’s product planning capabilities leveraging its global network, NH NongHyup Financial Group will set a new standard for the retirement pension market through integrated synergy.”
