Korea Investment & Securities announced on the 29th that it held the "2026 Retirement Pension Academy" seminar for corporate pension managers together with Man Group, a global asset management firm, on the 27th.

The seminar was organized to provide strategic direction so that domestic companies can manage their DB retirement pension reserves stably and efficiently amid rapidly changing global interest rate conditions and shifts in the bond market.

In the first session, Sukkyoon Kang, head of Man Group Korea, presented a global high-quality bond (credit) diversification strategy. Since this strategy has already demonstrated long-term stability among major European pension funds and Asian investors, it is expected to reduce the management burden for corporate pension managers.

In the second session, Lee Jinwoo, Head of Private Equity Fund Management at Korea Investment & Securities, presented the "RP Fund Management Strategy," which utilizes short-term funds to secure stable returns.

Kim Dohyun, Head of Retail Client Group at Korea Investment & Securities, stated, "While the domestic DB retirement pension market is facing increasing retirement liabilities due to ongoing wage increases, most of the reserves are concentrated in principal-guaranteed products, resulting in stagnating returns and various concerns. We will continue to develop diverse support programs to provide practical solutions to these real-world challenges."
