(2018 Reporting Diary) The National Pension Is Not the Ruling Party's Pension [Source: JoongAng Ilbo]

"Many of the longtime colleagues I worked with have left. Looking at the junior staff who remain, I feel regretful and sorry."

This is the confession of an investment professional (Mr. A) who departed from the National Pension Fund Management Division. The concerns shared by five former investment staff members interviewed by the reporter center on the "relocation to Jeonju" and "personnel controversies." Since the division relocated to Jeonju in February of last year, the departure of investment professionals has accelerated, and the position of Chief Investment Officer (CIO) has remained vacant for a year. Vacancies are scattered throughout the ranks of senior managers and team leads. Even when attempting to fill these positions, qualified personnel matching the qualifications sought are difficult to secure.
