Korea Teachers' Pension Fund
The Korea Teachers' Pension Fund was established in 1975 following enactment of the Private School Teachers and Staff Pension Act. Its mandate is to provide retirement security for private school personnel and relieve associated financial burdens. The fund operates from headquarters in Naju-si, South Korea. Allocation includes an 8.21 percent weighting to private equity alongside direct real estate and infrastructure. Confirmed positions encompass Seoul CBD office buildings, Green Square Office Building in Brisbane, 125 Old Broad Street in London and 101 California Street in San Francisco co-owned with GIC. Additional exposure runs through Macquarie Korean Road Infrastructure Fund and commitments to KKR Asia Fund III, Blackstone Real Estate Partners and CVC Capital Partners Fund IX. Geographic reach covers South Korea, Australia, the United Kingdom and North America. Team size and additional offices remain undisclosed. The fund maintains the KTPF Social Contribution Fund focused on education and welfare programs for private school staff. In October 2024 it participated as speaker at the ASK 2024 Global Investment Summit discussing portfolio diversification across buyout, venture capital and secondaries. As a statutory public pension it maintains formal co-investment relationships with the National Pension Service on domestic and cross-border real estate and infrastructure mandates, a structure that channels larger-scale opportunities through joint due diligence with peer Korean institutions.
