Shinyoung Securities Invests 10 Billion KRW in 'Active C-Matic Asia Strategy'

[Asia Economy Reporter Minji Lee] Shin Young Securities announced on the 2nd that it has invested proprietary capital in the in-house hedge fund ‘Shin Young Active Thematic Asia Specialized Investment Private Equity Fund No. 1.’ The investment amount is 10 billion KRW.

Shin Young Active Thematic Asia applies the concept of ‘Thematic’ instead of the existing ‘value stocks.’ The overall portfolio is constructed by selecting only the top preferred stocks for each specific theme. Shin Young Active Thematic Asia can be subscribed to in the form of wrap accounts, hedge funds, etc., according to customer needs.

This strategy defines companies with △attractive themes and △competent management as ‘Wonderful Companies’ and adopts a strategy of △purchasing these companies’ stocks at reasonable prices.

Shin Young Active Thematic Asia adheres to the principle of ‘on-the-ground research,’ investing only in companies personally verified, and diversifies investments across Asian companies in Korea, China, and Japan, aiming for differentiated performance with lower volatility compared to investing solely in companies from a specific country.

Accordingly, based on the Specialized Private Fund No. 1 Class A launched in December 2016, it has recorded an outstanding long-term performance of 143.32%, significantly outperforming the representative indices of each country since inception (KOSPI 30.61%, Hong Kong HSCEI 2.02%, Japan NIKKEI 46.71%, U.S. S&P500 53.73%).

Kim Dae-il, Head of Asset Allocation Solutions at Shin Young Securities, said, “This proprietary capital investment is based on the excellent operational performance of the in-house hedge fund over the past four years,” and added, “We expect it will help enhance investor trust.” He also stated, “We plan to develop thematic investment as a uniquely core operational strategy in the future.”
