Will the National Pension Service Increase Its Domestic Stock Proportion? Five-Year Asset Allocation Plan to Be Finalized on May 28

The 4th National Pension Fund Management Committee Meeting Held

Interim Report on the Mid-term Asset Allocation Plan for the Next Five Years

The discussion on the proportion of domestic stocks in the National Pension Service's portfolio is gaining momentum. The mid-term asset allocation plan, which will determine the direction of asset allocation for the next five years, is scheduled to be finalized on May 28.

The Fund Management Committee of the National Pension Service held its fourth meeting of 2026 at the Government Complex Seoul on the afternoon of May 15. During the meeting, the committee received an interim report on the formulation of the mid-term asset allocation plan for 2027 to 2031. The mid-term asset allocation refers to a plan that sets target proportions and management directions for each asset class—such as stocks, bonds, and alternative investments—for the next five years, in order to enhance the fund’s long-term profitability and stability.

The committee reviews and approves target proportions for each asset class by the end of May every year. This interim report was prepared to check the main review directions and the current status of the plan before its finalization. In addition, the meeting also included a report on the fund management status as of the end of February this year.

Minister of Health and Welfare Chung Eun-kyung stated, "Recently, the National Pension Fund has continued to deliver excellent performance, supported by the strong results of major asset classes such as domestic stocks, thereby underpinning the fiscal stability of the National Pension Service." She added, "Since the mid-term asset allocation is a crucial decision that determines the fund’s long-term profitability and stability, the committee will actively support the development of a rational plan."
