South Korea's largest pension fund is increasing its overseas investments against the trend, planning to spend $26.5 billion to increase its holdings in US stocks next year.

According to the wisdom of finance APP, at a time when global investors are intensifying their trends of "withdrawing from US assets" due to Trump administration's tariff policies, the National Pension Service of Korea (NPS) has announced a significant increase in its target for overseas stock allocation. According to the asset allocation plan disclosed by the South Korean Ministry of Health and Welfare on Thursday, the global fourth largest pension fund managing 121.3 trillion Korean won (approximately 884 billion US dollars) in assets plans to increase the proportion of overseas stocks in its portfolio from the current 35.9% to 38.9% by the end of 2026. Based on the current size of the fund, this means an additional approximately 26.5 billion US dollars will be invested in overseas stocks next year.
