Government Employees Pension Service Announces Open Recruitment for Chief Investment Officer

Applications Accepted Until May 12

The Government Employees Pension Service announced on April 28 that it is publicly recruiting a new Chief Investment Officer (CIO).

The CIO is responsible for establishing investment strategies and overseeing the management of financial assets worth approximately 10 trillion won.

Applications will be accepted from today until May 12, and the new CIO is expected to be appointed in early July after interviews in June. Further details can be found on the official website of the Government Employees Pension Service or through the public institution management information disclosure system, Alio.

An official from the organization stated, "We have decided to hire a new CIO with expertise and experience to enhance the real value of our investment assets and proactively respond to the changing investment environment," adding, "We will continue to pursue stable returns and efficient fund management based on stability."

Meanwhile, the organization is seeking to continuously increase returns through diversification of operations, including direct investment in overseas equities, dividend-focused domestic equity investments, and alternative asset investments through strategic joint investments with overseas pension funds. In addition, as a public fund, it is making efforts to enhance corporate value by expanding ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) investments and leading investments in domestic value-up exchange-traded funds (ETFs). As a result, it recently received an excellent rating in the 2024 Fund Management Evaluation conducted by the Ministry of Economy and Finance.
