Executive brief
The Korea Teachers’ Credit Union (KTCU; Korean 한국교직원공제회; brand The-K) is South Korea’s special-Act mutual-aid and lifelong welfare institution for the education family—public educational officials, teachers, and administrative staff of educational institutions and research institutes. It was founded in 1971 under the Korean Teachers’ Credit Union Act and is supervised by the Ministry of Education. Soft strings for researchers: KTCU / Korea Teachers’ Credit Union / 한국교직원공제회 / The-K / korea-teachers-credit-union.
Official English Asset Management Overview (english.ktcu.or.kr) states that operations began in 1971 with assets of KRW 1.3 billion and that assets had grown to KRW 85.9 trillion as of the end of 2025. The paired Major Business Performance table discloses end-2025 total assets of 858,938 in KRW 100 million units (consistent with KRW 85.9 trillion), of which investment assets were 732,894 (85.3%), member loans 107,894 (12.6%), and other assets 18,150 (2.1%). UAO quotes official KRW only—no invented USD headline.
Live leadership verified on official Korean 임원 공시 and the English Sustainability Report: Chairman Jeong Kapyoon (정갑윤; term 18 Dec 2023–17 Dec 2026; English SR romanisation Jeong Kapyoon); Chief Investment Officer / Fund Management Director Ko Jae-taek (고재택; 기금운용이사; term 1 Feb 2025–31 Jan 2028). No UAO person SSR pages yet for either seat—names are plain text. A prior CIO listing for Park Man-soo remains on older secondary/UAO person inventory and is not treated as current.
Why researchers care: KTCU is among Korea’s largest mutual-aid asset owners—second only to National Pension Service (NPS) on some secondary size comparisons when mutual-aid and pension pools are viewed together—with a heavy alternative-investment sleeve, explicit multi-committee investment governance, published RI milestones (coal-exit 2019; TCFD/climate-finance 2021), and a thick English disclosure stack plus a biennial Sustainability Report. Related Registry hubs: Korea Investment Corporation (KIC), GPIF, KKR Japan (federation of mutual-aid associations), OPTrust, FRR.
Speakable summary
KTCU is Korea’s statutory teachers’ mutual-aid union. Official English pages disclose KRW 85.9 trillion in total assets at end-2025. Chairman Jeong Kapyoon; CIO Ko Jae-taek. It is not Korea Teachers’ Pension and not NPS. Currency discipline: KRW from ktcu.or.kr / english.ktcu.or.kr.
Mandate & ownership
Korean management disclosure (기관소개) describes KTCU as a government-guaranteed teacher welfare institution established by special law so that educators can enjoy the rewards of teaching and a prosperous life both in service and after retirement. Establishment basis: Korean Teachers’ Credit Union Act (Act No. 2296, promulgated 22 January 1971). Corporate name changed from 대한교원공제회 to 한국교직원공제회 under Act No. 7070 (promulgated 20 January 2004). Supervising ministry: Ministry of Education.
English Mission·Vision pages state the mission as contributing to a happy life of the education family through reliable financial and welfare services, and the vision as “A happy partnership with the Education Family, the best financial and welfare partner.” Purpose-of-establishment language on the same page tracks the Act: enhance stabilisation of lives and welfare through an efficient mutual-aid system for persons who serve or served as public educational officials, teachers, or administrative staff of educational institutions, educational administrative institutions, or educational research institutes and affiliated institutions.
Medium- and long-term management objective (English): building members’ trust through stable earning and sustainable growth. Core values: Trust, Innovation, Professionalism. Implementation themes include lifelong financial and welfare services and forward-looking asset management (strategic portfolio management; risk management advancement; new growth engines).
What the mandate is not: KTCU is not a sovereign wealth fund, not a central-bank reserve manager, and not the statutory teachers’ pension corporation. Member resources include premiums and asset-management profits allocated to financial investments, alternatives, and member loans (English Asset Management Overview).
Ownership & political chain
- Legal form: statutory mutual-aid association under the Korean Teachers’ Credit Union Act.
- Supervising ministry: Ministry of Education (교육부) — annual asset-management plan/budget approval path includes Steering Committee / Board of Representatives / MoE (English decision-flow page).
- Top legislative body: Board of Representatives; Steering Committee supports policy (English Organization).
- Executive Management (English): Chairman, Chief Audit Officer, Chief Customer Officer, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Investment Officer; executive term three years.
- Headquarters: 50 Yeouinaru-ro, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul 07328 (omit phones from public elite profile).
Disambiguation (≠ Korea Teachers’ Pension / NPS)
≠ Korea Teachers’ Pension (교직원연금공단). Press sometimes confuses the mutual-aid credit union with the teachers’ pension scheme. KTCU’s own English branding and Act language centre on mutual aid, savings, loans, insurance, and welfare—not the Teachers’ Pension Corporation’s pension mandate. Secondary KED items about Teachers’ Pension returns (e.g. CIO Jun Beomsik) are not KTCU facts.
≠ National Pension Service (NPS). NPS is Korea’s national public pension investor. KTCU is a membership mutual-aid balance sheet for the education family. Secondary articles may rank KTCU’s AUM just behind NPS among Korean pools; that comparison is scale context only.
≠ Korea Investment Corporation (KIC). KIC is the sovereign wealth / foreign-reserve investment corporation. KTCU’s MoE mutual-aid mandate and member-loan sleeve are structurally different.

Decision bodies
English Organization: KTCU pursues efficient management and member-profit maximisation through the Steering Committee and the Board of Representatives. Board of Directors page: transparent governance; Executive Committee leads headquarters; committees deliberate major management and ESG agendas; decisions and follow-ups disclosed to members and the public.
Asset-management external committees (English): Asset Management Committee (strategic asset allocation, mid/long-term AM plans, target return and retirement-benefit rates, operating-expense rates, AM policy paper; ≤7 inside members including senior managing directors related to AM; 5–7 outside experts; outside members must exceed 50% of total). Risk Management Committee (risk policies, systems/standards, risk limits, FX management matters as published).
Investment philosophy & process
Purpose of asset management (English AM Overview): promote security and enhance welfare benefits for members. Principles: profitability, stability, diversified investment, and liquidity. Primary financial resources: member premiums and asset-management profits. Allocations: domestic/foreign stocks and bonds; alternatives (domestic/foreign SOC, real estate, energy, PEF); member loans.
Target rate of return (English AM Related Standards): mid- and long-term asset returns intended to cover interest rates, operating expenses, and reserve targets. Risk tolerance: total annual risk-tolerance limit framed via estimated loss under the annual asset-allocation plan relative to annual transferred reserves; shortfall risk for the next five years ≤10% under the published rule (share of reserved-fund-rate reductions of 5%+ vs base year must be ≤10%).
Published mid/long-term allocation status: 77% fund-management assets, 18% member loans, 5% other assets. Financial-portfolio weights “by 2030” (vs fund-management assets): domestic stocks 7.6%; foreign stocks 11.8%; domestic bonds 10.4%; foreign bonds 8.6%; domestic corporate finance 8.6%; foreign corporate finance 13.4%; domestic real estate & SOC 13.1%; foreign real estate & SOC 26.5%.

New alternative-investment process
English flow: proposal reception → AM department investment review → Investment Risk Analysis Team first risk evaluation → Investment Deliberation Affairs Council (referral to Investment Deliberation Committee if department staff evaluations meet published score thresholds: grand mean ≥3.0/5 and item means ≥2.0) → Investment Deliberation Committee (attendance ≥2/3 of participating members; majority of those attending) → Board of Directors (majority of enrolled members present; majority of those attending). Secondary Asia Business Daily (Aug 2026) describes the same three-step culture and notes internal CIO succession; treat deal-level Calpine/ECP figures in that article as secondary unless restated on ktcu.or.kr.
Climate / ESG / ethics
Korean Investment / 책임투자 milestones page: 2017 ESG-related revisions inside the asset-management policy statement; 2019 coal-exit finance declaration; 2019 Korea Social Value Solidarity Fund business agreement; 2021 TCFD and climate-finance support declaration toward 2050 carbon neutrality.
English Sustainability Management Strategy (2025 objectives): strategic goal of trusted finance and welfare creating positive change across environment, society, and governance; pillars of environmental management, responsible management, and ethical management, with UN SDG mapping on-page.
Sustainability Report 2023–2024: ESG investment scale KRW 1,983.8 billion at end-2024 (from KRW 1,643.4 billion in 2023); component narrative includes stocks, bonds, alternatives, and corporate finance sleeves; examples in SR highlights include MBS/social-bond purchases and renewable-energy platform exposures (Atlantica KRW 98.8 billion cited in SR eco-investment notes).

Performance & reporting
Official English P&L status (KRW 100 million units; rates as published on Major Business Performance):
| Year | Total P&L | Total rate | Investment P&L | Investment rate | Member-loan P&L |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 15,683 | 2.9% | 10,666 | 2.4% | 3,835 |
| 2023 | 44,356 | 7.3% | 38,045 | 8.1% | 5,608 |

2025 equity sleeve on the same table: 40,477 (38.0% rate) after 2022’s deep equity drawdown (△18,963 / △22.9%). Alternatives 2025: 23,828 (5.6%). Bonds 2025: 5,053 (5.0%).
SR financial highlights for 2024: net income KRW 721.6 billion (192.4% of a stated internal target in SR narrative); ROA series in appendix tables includes 0.8% (2022), 1.5% (2023), 1.0% (2024) as published. Transparency stack: English AM pages; Korean 경영공시 (balance sheet, income statement, investment execution, tax, asset-management status); biennial Sustainability Report (GRI 2021 / UN SDGs); KAMS information-exchange portal for external managers.
Mutual-aid & member services
English Mutual Aid System pages document Long-term Savings Benefit (high interest & low taxation; enrolment from 50 units / KRW 30,000 to 2,500 units / KRW 1,500,000), post-retirement instalment options (5–30 year payout schedules), Lump Sum Benefit, Retirement Saving Benefit, and Corporate Deposit Benefit—positioned as member-balance products funding the broader asset pool rather than third-party mutual-fund wraps (no management/business/service fees vs trusts/insurance/funds, per product copy).
Loan pages describe general and mortgage-style member lending within savings/guarantee limits (product pages cite guarantee-insurance limits up to KRW 100 million depending on membership duration and credit). Insurance and The-K happiness / welfare / partnership-service pages extend the lifelong-welfare mandate (legal/tax/labour consultation discounts; facility partnerships).
These member products are mandate-core for a credit-union/mutual-aid profile: they explain both the liability-like savings book and the member-loan asset sleeve that still represented 12.6% of total assets at end-2025 even as investment assets rose to 85.3%.
Controversies & debates
Official-attributable first. Opened English/Korean primaries emphasise integrity awards, CCM (Consumer Centered Management) hall-of-fame induction (History 2025.12.12), internal-audit recognitions, and ISMS acquisition (2024.09.19)—not enforcement actions. No opened primary on this pass alleges a regulator fine; SR fine-amount lines show KRW 0 for the published years reviewed.
Secondary press (label clearly): Asia Business Daily’s August 2026 “Inside Pensions and Mutual Aid” feature discusses KTCU’s Calpine/ECP continuation-fund exit economics and the three-tier alternative-investment review culture. Those deal IRRs and recovered amounts are secondary unless and until restated on ktcu.or.kr / english.ktcu.or.kr. UAO does not invent controversy narratives around individual GP exits.
Name collision risk: researchers mixing KTCU with Korea Teachers’ Pension return headlines—keep mandates separate (see Disambiguation).

-2024 The Korean Teachers’ Credit Union Sustainability Report 04 Chairman’s Message Based on continuous communication with our stakeholders, we will remain steadfast in pursuing our mid to long-term management goal of “building member trust through stable returns and sustainable growth.” Dear Esteemed Stakeholders, As a reliable lifelong partner of Korea’s education family, the Korean Teachers’ Credit Union (KTCU) has continuously strived to fulfill its social responsibilities and achieve inclusive growth.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all stakeholders who have accompanied us on this journey. The years 2023–2024 presented new challenges for the global economy. Fiscal pres- sures, tightening monetary policies, sharp fluctuations in international commodity prices, and rising geopolitical tensions have made uncertainty a constant feature of the economic landscape.
Amid these challenges, KTCU viewed this environment not as a crisis but as an opportunity to strengthen its management foundation. By refining our asset allocation strategies and enhancing our risk management frame- work to respond flexibly to changing market conditions, KTCU achieved meaningful progress, surpassing 920,000 members, reaching KRW 74 trillion in total assets, and recording over KRW 700 billion in net income.
We will continue to pursue sustainable growth and fulfill our responsibilities as a trusted credit union, even in the face of on- going uncertainty. -2024 The Korean Teachers’ Credit Union Sustainability Report 05 Looking ahead, we will further advance our asset management Furthermore, we are committed to strengthening an system to ensure sound and sustainable growth. ethical and transparent corporate culture.

Through initiatives such as the ESG for long-term stability and profitability. As the share of overseas investments con- mileage system, anti-corruption warning system, and integrity evaluation, we are tinues to grow, we are accelerating preparations to open our first overseas office enhancing ethical awareness among employees, and we have publicly reaffirmed by 2026, which will serve as a global investment hub.
Annex: Asset mix 2022–2025
Full official investment-sleeve detail (KRW 100 million; rates = share of total assets):
| Sleeve | 2022 | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stocks | 59,646 (10.5%) | 78,817 (12.3%) | 101,700 (13.7%) | 129,567 (15.1%) |
| Bonds | 57,060 (10.0%) | 65,215 (10.2%) | 80,786 (10.8%) | 120,092 (14.0%) |
| Alternatives | 316,054 (55.5%) | 347,466 (54.2%) | 409,734 (54.9%) | 454,724 (52.9%) |
| Short-term | 6,828 (1.2%) | 17,165 (2.7%) | 25,363 (3.4%) | 28,511 (3.3%) |
Reading: alternatives stay majority-of-balance-sheet even while listed equity and bond books grew quickly in 2024–2025. Member loans remain a structural, not residual, sleeve.
Annex: P&L by sleeve
| Sleeve P&L (KRW 100m) | 2022 | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stocks | △18,963 (△22.9%) | 14,762 (22.3%) | 13,364 (15.5%) | 40,477 (38.0%) |
| Bonds | △1,801 (△2.9%) | 3,841 (6.5%) | 3,742 (5.2%) | 5,053 (5.0%) |
| Alternatives | 31,226 (11.1%) | 18,686 (5.8%) | 40,718 (11.2%) | 23,828 (5.6%) |
| Short-term | 204 (2.4%) | 756 (3.4%) | 901 (3.5%) | 891 (2.7%) |
| Other assets | 1,182 (7.6%) | 703 (4.1%) | 1,207 (7.5%) | 2,742 (15.9%) |
2022 shows the equity/bond stress year; 2025 shows equity-led recovery while alternatives still contributed nearly KRW 2.4 trillion of P&L (23,828 × KRW 100 million).
Annex: Mid/long-term SAA & risk limits
English Asset Management Related Standards page is the primary SAA source for this profile. Mid/long-term plan deliberation runs through the Asset Management Committee; tactical flexibility through the Asset Allocation / Investment Strategy councils. Shortfall-risk constraint (next five years ≤10% under the published reserved-fund-rate rule) anchors risk budgeting alongside market and credit risk limits enumerated on the same page.
Foreign real estate & SOC at 26.5% of the 2030 financial-portfolio weight schedule is the single largest published target sleeve—consistent with the end-2025 alternatives-heavy realised mix.
Annex: AM committees & alternative-investment process
Internal committees (English In Committee page): Investment Strategy Council (tactical AA in financial and alternative books; annual/semiannual/quarterly plans); Investment Management Council (stock/bond/alternative/strategy management); Investment Deliberation Affairs Council (gate to Investment Deliberation Committee for new alternatives); Fair Valuation Evaluation Committee (fair-value verification for alternative assets).

FAQ
What is the Korea Teachers' Credit Union (KTCU)?
KTCU (한국교직원공제회, also branded The-K) is Korea’s statutory mutual-aid and welfare institution for current and former public educational officials, teachers, and education-institution staff. It was established under the Korean Teachers’ Credit Union Act (Act No. 2296, promulgated 22 January 1971) and is supervised by the Ministry of Education. It is not the Korea Teachers’ Pension (교직원연금공단).
What is KTCU’s official asset scale in KRW?
On KTCU’s official English Asset Management Overview and Major Business Performance pages, total assets are disclosed as KRW 85.9 trillion as of the end of 2025 (table total 858,938 in KRW 100 million units). The 2023–2024 Sustainability Report (published November 2025) separately states approximately KRW 74 trillion in total assets at end-2024. Universal Asset Owners Registry quotes official KRW only and does not invent a USD headline.
Who leads KTCU?
Official Korean management disclosure lists Jeong Kapyoon (정갑윤) as standing Chairman / institutional head (이사장) for the term 18 December 2023 through 17 December 2026. Ko Jae-taek (고재택) is standing Director for Fund Management / CIO (기금운용이사) for 1 February 2025 through 31 January 2028. The English organization page describes Executive Management as Chairman, Chief Audit Officer, Chief Customer Officer, Chief Operating Officer, and Chief Investment Officer.
How does KTCU invest?
Official English pages state that member premiums and asset-management profits fund domestic and foreign stocks and bonds; alternative investments including SOC, real estate, energy, and PEF; and member loans. Guiding principles are profitability, stability, diversified investment, and liquidity. Mid- and long-term allocation guidance published on Asset Management Related Standards includes about 77% fund-management assets, 18% member loans, and 5% other assets, with detailed financial-portfolio weights toward 2030.
What was KTCU’s 2025 portfolio performance on the official table?
Major Business Performance (English) shows 2025 total profit-and-loss of 78,076 in KRW 100 million units with a disclosed 9.7% rate; the Investment Asset Division contributed 70,249 (10.6%). Equity sleeve rates are disclosed as strongly positive in 2025 after large negative equity results in 2022.
How is investment decision-making governed?
English Asset Management pages describe an Asset Management Committee, Risk Management Committee, and Investment Deliberation Committee, plus internal councils (Investment Strategy, Investment Management, Investment Deliberation Affairs, Fair Valuation). New alternative investments follow a multi-step process including investment review, first-line risk evaluation, deliberation councils, Investment Deliberation Committee vote thresholds, and Board of Directors approval, with Ministry of Education / Steering Committee / Board of Representatives involvement in annual plan and budget approval.
What responsible-investment milestones has KTCU published?
Korean sustainability Investment pages list: 2017 ESG-related revisions in the asset-management policy statement; 2019 coal-exit finance declaration; 2019 Korea Social Value Solidarity Fund MoU; and 2021 TCFD and climate-finance support declaration toward 2050 carbon neutrality. The 2023–2024 Sustainability Report discloses ESG investment scale of KRW 1,983.8 billion at end-2024.
How many members does KTCU serve?
The Chairman’s message in the 2023–2024 Sustainability Report cites progress surpassing 920,000 members alongside end-2024 assets of about KRW 74 trillion. The English Chairman’s Message page similarly references over 940,000 members in current overview language. Secondary press (Asia Business Daily, August 2026) has cited 946,307 members and Q1 2026 assets near KRW 89.3 trillion—treat those as secondary unless restated on ktcu.or.kr / english.ktcu.or.kr.
Is KTCU a sovereign wealth fund or the National Pension Service?
No. KTCU is a special-Act mutual-aid / credit-union-style welfare institution for Korea’s education family. It is distinct from the National Pension Service (NPS) and from Korea Teachers’ Pension. Assets are managed for member benefits, savings, loans, insurance, and welfare—not as a sovereign reserve fund.
Where is KTCU headquartered?
Official English and Korean pages list headquarters at 50 Yeouinaru-ro, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul (postal code 07328), The-K Korean Teachers’ Credit Union Building.
Does KTCU publish a sustainability report in English?
Yes. KTCU has published a sustainability report every two years since 2008. The ninth edition (2023–2024) was published in November 2025 in Korean and English and is downloadable from the English Sustainability Report page; it references GRI Standards 2021 and UN SDGs.
How does UAO treat USD figures for KTCU?
UAO’s elite profile uses official KRW figures from ktcu.or.kr / english.ktcu.or.kr and the Sustainability Report. Secondary USD conversions (for example KED Global headlines) are not promoted as official AUM. Researchers who need a USD view should apply their own FX; the Registry will not invent a USD headline.
