NH Investment & Securities said on the 2nd that it was selected as an overall outstanding provider and No. 1 in the securities industry for the second consecutive year in the "2025 retirement pension provider evaluation" led by the Ministry of Employment and Labor (MOEL).
This retirement pension provider evaluation covered 41 companies across securities, banks, and insurance. It comprehensively assessed capabilities in retirement pension investment products, rate-of-return performance, organizational and service capabilities, and fee efficiency.
In this evaluation, NH Investment & Securities recorded strong results in areas such as investment product capabilities and organizational and service capabilities, placing within the top 10% in the overall evaluation. It also achieved the feat of ranking No. 1 in the securities industry in the newly introduced sector-by-sector outstanding provider evaluation this year.
The NH Investment & Securities side said it served as an opportunity to prove its continued strengthening of investment capabilities and customer-tailored asset management strategies.
For efficient management of defined benefit (DB) retirement pension reserves, the company operated a dedicated agile team for the investment policy statement (IPS). It provided one-stop consulting services from deciding management standards to outsourced chief investment officer (OCIO) asset allocation, portfolio construction, and execution.
It also advanced financial verification consulting, the core of IPS consulting, and, through operating the "NH Retirement Pension School" for corporate retirement pension practitioners, strengthened practical capabilities and raised interest in investing.
To increase subscribers' rates of return in retirement pensions, it introduced a default option product system tailored to the characteristics of each age group. It also received high marks for supporting long-term investing by providing automated investment services such as installment exchange-traded fund (ETF) investing and artificial intelligence (AI) robo-advisory discretionary services.
Lee Jae-kyung, executive vice president and head of the retail business division at NH Investment & Securities, said, "We will continue to lead innovation in the retirement pension market with product competitiveness and differentiated services."
