Quick Summary:

The NPS plans to select external managers this year as usual, although it has yet to how many private equity firms it will choose and how much it would allocate, according to officials of the pension fund.

South Korea’s National Pension Service (NPS), the world’s third-largest pension fund, has yet to decide on a plan to select local external managers, adding to private equity firms’ fundraising woes.
