National Pension Service
The National Pension Service (NPS; ) is a public pension fund in South Korea. It is the third largest in the world with over $800 billion in assets, and is the largest investor in South Korea. The system functions as part of a national social security framework, receiving insurance premiums from subscribers, employers, and the state, and providing old-age pensions, survivors' pensions, and disability pensions—thereby contributing to the stability of the state. It is designed to support individuals who have become non-economically active due to old age. Countries like Japan, Norway, Singapore, and the Netherlands also operate similar centralized systems. A notable difference is that, unlike sovereign wealth funds, only a few countries—including Korea and Japan—invest national pensions into stock markets. Given the fund's size (over ₩500 trillion), it often appears in financial news as a kind of “relief pitcher” during market volatility. It is looking to buy a portfoli ...
