South Korea's stock market has continued to scale new highs, with the Kospi index rising to an intraday record of 6,712 points today (28th) and last reported at 6,660 points, up 45 points or 0.7%. Heavyweight SK Hynix (000660.KS) climbed to a fresh listing high of KRW1.328 million this morning before paring gains, and was last quoted at KRW1.308 million, up 1.2%.

According to Chosun Ilbo, as SK Hynix's share price broke above KRW1.3 million, the structure of pension fund portfolios has begun to shift. Rather than trimming holdings in the rapidly appreciating SK Hynix, funds have redirected capital into its holding company, SK Square (402340.KS).

Data released today by the Korea Exchange showed that among institutional investors, "pension funds and others" recorded net purchases of SK Square amounting to KRW13.951 billion on the previous day (27th), marking the second-largest net buying amount after Samsung Electronics (005930.KS). On the same day, these funds registered net selling of KRW2.5 billion in SK Hynix.

Analysts said the move reflects the sharp surge in SK Hynix's share price, which has rapidly increased its weighting in investment portfolios and limited room for further purchases. Major South Korean pension funds and mutual aid associations typically manage exposure to individual stocks at around 10% to prevent overconcentration and conduct rebalancing when necessary.

The trend of expanding semiconductor holdings is also evident. According to the "14th Leaders Index", in 1Q26 Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix accounted for 62.7% of the total increase in the valuation of equity holdings by the National Pension Service of Korea.

Notably, SK Hynix has been the top performer among large-cap semiconductor stocks, with its share price surging more than 48% over the past month, sharply lifting its portfolio weighting. With limited room for additional buying, capital is flowing into SK Square, which is also expected to benefit from a recovery in the semiconductor cycle. (da/j)~
