Golden Bridge Asset Management Launches 'GB Rainbow Gongmoju Alpha Securities Fund'

[Asia Economy Reporter Minji Lee] Golden Bridge Asset Management announced on the 29th that it will launch the ‘GB Rainbow Public Offering Alpha Securities Investment Trust’.

This fund pursues bond plus alpha returns and aims for long-term stable profits through investments in high-quality bonds such as government bonds and Monetary Stabilization Bonds, as well as investments in Initial Public Offerings (IPO) and Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (SPACs). It compensates for the reduced allocation of public offering stocks due to intensified IPO competition by incorporating SPAC investments and public offering stock funds. SPAC investments include not only active participation in IPOs but also purchases of SPACs near par value (offering price) in the secondary market. The public offering stock funds to be included are limited to public bond-mixed funds.

Currently, the ‘GB 100-Year Public Offering Stock Fund’ managed by Golden Bridge Asset Management is receiving high market attention, with its net asset value increasing by 227.7 billion KRW this year. Its one-year return is 25.51%, maintaining the top position in 1, 2, and 3-year returns among over 50 public offering stock funds, excluding KOSDAQ Venture and High Yield funds. The ‘Golden Bridge KOSDAQ Venture Fund Specialized Private Equity Fund No. 2,’ established in April last year, has a cumulative return of 174.46% as of the previous day, and the ‘Golden Bridge High Yield Specialized Private Equity Fund No. 3,’ established in March this year, is also performing steadily with a cumulative return of 20.43%.

Golden Bridge Asset Management plans to operate a two-track strategy by managing the GB 100-Year Public Offering Stock Fund, which uses a pure IPO strategy, alongside the new GB Rainbow Public Offering Alpha Fund. Portfolio Manager Jae-woo Park explained, “Given the recent controversy over the overvaluation of offering prices due to the IPO boom, more careful analysis is necessary. This fund also adopts a contrarian approach by securing many allocations in stocks with low demand forecast competition rates, providing opportunities to enhance returns.”
