LG AI Research and NPS to build tools for pension fund management

LG AI Research and the National Pension Service have signed a memorandum of understanding to develop AI tools tailored to managing Korea’s national pension fund. The agreement, signed Thursday at LG AI Research’s headquarters in Magok, western Seoul, will combine the company’s financial AI technology with NPS’ investment expertise.

The first project will focus on an AI-powered currency analysis service that uses economic indicators, financial news, research materials and NPS data to build predictive and analytical models for the fund. LG AI Research will base the service on EXAONE Business Intelligence, its financial AI agent used by LSEG, Koscom and Kiwoom Securities to analyze more than 8,000 stocks listed in Korea and the United States each day.

NPS plans to evaluate the currency-analysis service before applying AI to other areas of fund management, including investment research, decision-making and long-term return improvement. Both organizations said reliability and safety will remain priorities as they develop tools for managing public pension assets.
