Due to fast growing National Pension Fund(NPF), it has greater influence on domestic capital market and faces difficulties in asset managements. We examine problems caused by giant and fast growing NPF relative to domestic capital market size. In order to solve 'Big Fish in Small Pond' problems, three strategies are explored: 1) minimizing domestic market participation, 2) dividing into several small funds, 3) increasing overseas investments. Expanding overseas investment turns out to be the best realistic and efficient way up to now. We propose three-tier governance structure such as National Pension Service
management committee(NPSMC), NPF management committee(NPFMC) and NPF operation corporate(NPFOC). NPSMC, the highest decision body but non-standing committee, determines target return, risk limit and governs the NPFMC. NPFMC, standing committee, deals with asset allocation, risk management, performance evaluation and compensation of NPFOC, and exercise on voting rights. It has appointment rights of NPFOC CEO. NPFOC should be separated from National Pension Service so that it has independent budget.
