Kim Dae-hyung, CEO of Maston Investment Management, is sharing his thoughts on the company's 10th anniversary.

[Asia Economy Reporter Eunmo Koo] Maston Investment Management has pledged to leap forward as a top-tier global asset manager (GP) in real estate and alternative sectors on the occasion of its 10th anniversary this year.

According to Maston Investment Management on the 3rd, CEO Daehyung Kim shared his reflections on the past decade through a video on the 2nd, stating, "Maston Investment Management, which started as a small organization 10 years ago, was able to rapidly emerge as a main player in the industry thanks to the efforts and passion of all employees."

As of the end of this year, Maston Investment Management has about 160 employees, with the organization continuously expanding in size. Notably, this year saw the largest increase, with the number of employees growing by more than 50%.

The scale of assets under management (AUM) has also steadily increased. Despite various constraints caused by the COVID-19 pandemic this year, approximately KRW 5.2 trillion domestically and about KRW 1.2 trillion overseas were newly incorporated, totaling around KRW 6.4 trillion in new assets. The expected year-end AUM exceeds KRW 21 trillion.

Looking at the composition of cumulative AUM, Opportunistic and Value Add strategies account for 65%. Although Opportunistic and Value Add investments are relatively more challenging and the pace of asset incorporation is slower, Maston manages nearly KRW 14 trillion in these categories, boasting outstanding performance within the industry.

CEO Kim stated, "In particular, the Centerpoint Donuimun and Dongdaemun Doosan Tower deals greatly contributed to enhancing Maston Investment Management’s core business capabilities and image." He praised the employees responsible for these large deals for their challenges and passion in overcoming obstacles and turning them into successes.

He also emphasized the importance of a corporate culture that supports sustainable growth. CEO Kim presented the slogan that Maston Investment Management should pursue as a value: "Transforming the world into a better society through responsible investment and innovation." He added a request for each employee to work with a sense of social mission beyond financial performance.

Furthermore, CEO Kim stressed that over the next 10 years, the company should strive to become ▲ the company with the best growth prospects ▲ the company that prioritizes employees and is most trusted by investors ▲ the company that fulfills its social mission ▲ and a top-tier global GP in real estate and alternative sectors.
