The National Pension Fund’s provisional rate of return as of August this year was calculated to be close to 9%. The overseas stock management rate of return reached 20%, but domestic stocks fell by half compared to the previous month.

According to the National Pension Fund Management Committee on the 31st, the overall return on the National Pension Fund fund has been 8.76% since the beginning of the year. The annualized rate of return for the year was 9.08%.

The operating profit during this period was 92.6 trillion won, and the cumulative profit was 670.6 trillion won. The total fund management reserve is 1,140.62 trillion won.

By assets, △domestic stocks 3.78% △foreign stocks 19.22% △domestic bonds 3.21% △overseas bonds 6.89% △alternative investments 5.49%. Although overseas stock returns were good, domestic stock returns fell by less than half from 7.62% by the end of July.

The National Pension Service said, “Overseas stocks have risen due to the good performance of major companies and a rally centered on large technology stocks, and the operating rate of return is good due to the rise in the won-dollar exchange rate.” “As concerns about an economic recession have emerged in the second half of the year, domestic stocks have accounted for a portion of the increase in the first half of the year.” “I returned it,” he explained.

The KOSPI increase rate is 0.72% compared to the beginning of the year, but the global stock market increase rate is 15.57% compared to the beginning of the year.

Regarding domestic and overseas bonds, he said, “Bond interest rates have fluctuated depending on the outlook for when the U.S. benchmark interest rate will be lowered,” and “Bond yields are good, reversing the increase in interest rates at the beginning of the year due to a slowdown in domestic and foreign economic indicators since the first half of the year.”
