[SCHEDULE 13G/A] KOREA FUND, INC SEC Filing

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Allspring Global Investments Holdings, LLC filed Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13G reporting its beneficial ownership in Korea Fund Inc. (NYSE: KF) as of 30 June 2025.

The Delaware-based parent holding company now controls 205,975 shares of KF, giving it 5.0 % of the closed-end fund’s outstanding Mutual Fund SH NEW class. All shares are held with sole voting and dispositive power; there is no shared authority. The position is held on behalf of advisory clients of Allspring subsidiaries, as listed in Exhibit A, and the filing states the investment was made in the ordinary course of business with no intent to influence control.

Crossing the 5 % threshold triggers the 13G filing requirement and formally adds Allspring to KF’s roster of significant shareholders. Because the filing is on Schedule 13G rather than 13D, it signals a passive institutional position rather than an activist stance.

Positive

• Allspring Global Investments disclosed a new 5.0 % stake (205,975 shares), adding a well-known institutional holder to Korea Fund’s shareholder base

Negative

• None.

Insights

Financial Analyst

TL;DR – Passive 5 % stake by Allspring; neutral governance impact, modest liquidity signal.

Allspring’s 205,975-share holding places it exactly at the 5 % reporting threshold, giving Korea Fund another sizable institutional investor. The absence of shared voting power and the 13G designation confirm a passive intent, limiting immediate governance or strategic ramifications. For investors, the disclosure modestly broadens KF’s institutional base, which can support secondary-market liquidity and price stability, but it does not suggest near-term corporate action. Overall impact is neutral.
