[Alpha Biz=(Chicago) Reporter Kim Jisun] There is a possibility that NH Investment & Securities will be excluded from the National Pension Service's trading securities firm.

According to the securities industry on September 26, the National Pension Service is currently discussing sanctions against NH Investment & Securities.

This is because NH Investment & Securities spread negative rumors about the national pension to the market. The NH Investment & Securities Investment Bank (IB) department met and persuaded companies to make an IB deal with NH Investment & Securities, which is friendly to the National Pension Service, given that a number of fund managers from NH Investment & Securities are working at the National Pension Service.

After learning of this, the National Pension Manager reported it to the company, and the National Pension Service is believed to be discussing sanctions against NH Investment & Securities. This is due to concerns that NH Investment & Securities' actions could cause the National Pension Service to be seen as a negative image in the market.

The situation is drawing more attention as the National Pension Service will reduce the number of securities firms traded in local stocks from 36 to 26 starting next year. Specifically, it will be reduced from 8 companies in the first grade, 12 companies in the second grade, and 16 companies in the third grade to 6 companies in the first grade, 8 companies in the second grade and 12 companies in the third grade, respectively. In particular, NH Investment & Securities, one of the largest research centers of securities firms, is expected to have a huge impact if it interferes with transactions with the National Pension Service.
