The Korea Investment Corporation (KIC, Korean: 한국투자공사) is a global investment management company established by the Government of South Korea in 2005 by the Korea Investment Corporation Act. The company manages some of South Korea's foreign reserves, specializing in overseas investments. Although the KIC is government-owned and government-established, it runs commercially and independently.
