About

The Korea Investment Corporation (KIC) is South Korea's sovereign wealth fund, established in 2005 to manage and grow the nation’s foreign reserves. Based in Seoul, KIC operates globally with assets under management totaling $189.4 billion as of 2023. The fund's core mission is to preserve and enhance the purchasing power of South Korea’s sovereign assets through strategic investments across traditional and alternative asset classes. KIC’s investment portfolio is diverse, comprising equities, fixed income, private equity, real estate, infrastructure, and hedge funds. Recently, there has been a notable shift towards increasing allocations in alternative assets, which now make up around 22% of the total portfolio. This strategic move aims to reduce volatility and capture long-term value, reflecting the fund's commitment to adapting to changing global market dynamics. The fund reported an 11.59% return on total assets in 2023, underscoring its effective asset allocation and risk management strategies. Governed by a structured management philosophy, KIC emphasizes long-term investment, risk control, and sustainable growth. The fund also actively engages in initiatives to support South Korea's financial industry, including training programs to develop expertise in international finance. KIC is led by CEO Park Il Young, who, along with a seasoned leadership team, continues to guide the fund towards achieving stable, long-term growth while maintaining a robust global presence.
