Seo Yu-seok, Chairman of the Korea Financial Investment Association, and a delegation of 15 CEOs from the financial investment industry announced that they will visit Chicago and New York from the 18th to the 22nd to understand trends in the U.S. capital market and explore investment opportunities.


The 'Benchmarking Trip Delegation,' composed of CEOs from asset management companies and real estate trust firms, will grasp global investment trends through meetings and site visits with securities and derivatives exchanges, financial investment firms, real estate developers, and research companies leading the global capital market. They plan to create new revenue models and promote overseas investment expansion.


The delegation will visit the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) to examine investment trends in the global stock, bond, and futures markets, as well as new products offered by each exchange. They will also review the rapidly growing Bitcoin futures market and related regulatory trends.


Additionally, they will visit GCM Grosvenor, an alternative investment specialist, and Monroe Capital, a premium boutique firm specializing in private loans, to benchmark hedge fund and fund-of-funds management strategies in the alternative investment market.


Alongside this, to seek differentiated products in the ETF market, they will meet with global investment bank JP Morgan Chase, real estate developer Related, and ETF-specialized asset managers to discuss investment cooperation plans.


Furthermore, they will sequentially meet analysts and strategists from Bloomberg, energy intelligence firm Rystad Energy, and macro-specialized independent research institution BCA Research. This will provide an opportunity to listen to insights on ESG fund industry trends, the future of the energy industry responding to climate change, and U.S. market investment outlook based on macroeconomic indicator analysis.



Chairman Seo Yu-seok stated, “This trip will be helpful for participating CEOs to gain insights in setting sustainable investment directions by meeting top-tier investment experts from leading financial institutions and strategists from capital market think tanks.”
