[사회]Why did the national pension postpone the share of domestic stock markets?

[앵커]

The National Pension System, which has recently been selling domestic stocks for the longest period of time, which is a source of individual investors, has reviewed a plan to increase the share of domestic stocks up to 20% among its investment assets, but it has postponed its decision after re-election.

It can be interpreted as being aware of the point that it is dangerous to use the National Pension System, which is the people’s old safety net, as a tool to support the stock market ahead of re-election.

Individual investors are protesting in front of the National Pension Service.

He accuses the national pension of putting cold water on the long-awaited uptrend by individual investors as the national pension continues to sell for the longest period to meet the limit on the share of domestic stocks.

The National Pension Plan is reducing the target share of domestic stocks to 21.2% last year, 16.8% this year, and 15% next year.

This is because pension expenditures will increase compared to premium income in the future, so if you sell your domestic stocks to pay your pension, the impact on the domestic stock market will be great.

Considering the allowable investment range of ±2%, you can buy domestic stocks within the range of 14.8% to 18.8% this year.

This is the reason for the longest selling march to lower the share of domestic stocks, which increased by up to 21.2% at the end of last year, to 18.8%, which is the allowable range this year.

As the dissatisfaction of individual investors intensified, in the end, we reviewed a plan to increase the proportion by expanding the allowable range of investment to ±3.5% points.

However, there were many opinions that the fund management guidelines need to be careful, so the decision was delayed.

It can also be interpreted as being conscious of the accusations of being overly conscious of individual investors’ attention ahead of the re-election in April.

If the allowable range is expanded to ±3.5% points, the limit on the share of domestic stocks to the total assets under management of the National Pension Service will be changed from 13.2% to a maximum of 20.3%.

Considering the domestic stock investment of the National Pension Plan, which is currently estimated at 161 trillion won, if a 20.3% proportion is applied, there is room for additional purchases of 11 trillion won or more.

Accordingly, attention is being drawn to what decisions will be made at the next meeting expected after the re-election.
