[Asia Economy Reporter Ji-hwan Park] An executive at NH Investment & Securities, who decided to sell private equity funds managed by Optimus Asset Management that caused a 500 billion KRW redemption suspension incident, has been confirmed to have moved to the compliance monitoring organization without any disciplinary action.

According to the office of Assemblyman Kang Min-guk, a member of the Future United Party's 'Special Committee for Prevention of Private Equity Fund Corruption and Victim Relief,' on the 6th, NH Investment & Securities executive A caused the company losses of several hundred billion KRW due to the redemption suspension of the Optimus fund but was transferred to the compliance monitoring organization without any internal disciplinary measures.

Assemblyman Kang pointed out that it is highly likely that NH Investment & Securities made the decision to sell despite being aware of the problems with Optimus Asset Management in advance.

Executive A was also the person who decided to sell the 'Universal Income Builder Fund Linked Derivative-Linked Securities (DLS),' which experienced a redemption delay on the 4th.

Regarding this, NH Investment & Securities explained, "Executive A was transferred to another division during the regular executive personnel reshuffle in December last year, so the transfer was not to avoid responsibility for the Optimus incident that occurred in June this year." NH's position is that they were not in a position to verify the truthfulness of the reports submitted by the asset management company to the financial authorities.
