KIC Discusses Global Equity and Private Equity Investment Strategies with Domestic Institutional Investors

[Asia Economy Reporter Minji Lee] Korea Investment Corporation (KIC) announced on the 30th that it held the 32nd meeting of the "Public Institutions Overseas Investment Council (HaeTuHyeop)" via online video conference at the KIC headquarters on the afternoon of the 29th to create synergy effects for overseas investments by domestic public institutions.

At the meeting, overseas investment managers from domestic public institutions gathered in one place to review major global investment strategies for this year and share investment know-how. HaeTuHyeop is the largest institutional investor council in Korea, launched in 2014 to discover global investment opportunities and share investment know-how and information among domestic public sector investment institutions. Currently, 24 institutions participate, including KIC, Korea Post, Government Employees Pension Service, and Private School Teachers’ Pension.

First, KIC’s Equity Management Office explained to the attendees the background and current status of the ‘Global Core Strategy,’ which achieved high performance this year. The Global Core Strategy is part of a long-term fundamental investment strategy introduced by KIC in early last year. The Equity Management Office emphasized that investments based on the intrinsic value of companies can yield long-term returns without following short-term market movements.

The Private Equity Investment Office introduced KIC’s co-investment strategy and reviewed changing private equity response strategies and global investment trends together. They explained investment methods in innovative companies, which have recently attracted high interest from institutional investors, through KIC’s internal venture investment program cases.

President Heenam Choi emphasized, “KIC is making various efforts to expand partnerships with domestic investors, such as sharing overseas investment information and investment know-how. The Global Core Strategy presented by the Equity Management Office and the co-investment strategy of the Private Equity Investment Office are both core strategies of KIC that have recorded high returns, and it is meaningful that the specific details were directly shared with member companies.”
