Hosted by Mastern Investment Management's Brand Strategy Team, the ESG roundtable held on the 20th brought together members of ‘LAICOS’ and the university student alliance sub-group ‘Student Alliance’s Impact Investing Club (SAIIC)’ to discuss future directions for their activities.

LAICOS is a university student alliance society whose name is derived by reversing the word ‘SOCIAL,’ embodying the aspiration to ‘plan innovative business models that can turn society upside down.’ It operates six branches at Kyung Hee University, Sogang University, Sungshin Women’s University, Sookmyung Women’s University, Ewha Womans University, and Hanyang University, along with various forms of alliance sub-group activities.

Attendees from Mastern Investment Management included Vice President Lee Gil-ui of the Management Division, Brand Strategy Team Leader Kim Min-seok, and Fund Team Leader Kim Jong-cheol. In particular, Kim Jong-cheol, who has led Mastern’s ESG bond issuance, briefly explained the framework of sustainable finance to the university students.

LAICOS representative Ahn Soo-yong and SAIIC sub-group leader Yoo Sang-won presented explanations about their organizations and future activity directions. The Gen Z youth gathered in Mastern Investment Management’s main conference room also spontaneously proposed creative ideas and projects related to ESG.

Joo Eun-seo, vice representative of LAICOS who attended the roundtable, said, “It was meaningful to have conversations on various topics with professionals working at Mastern Investment Management, a leader in sustainable finance in the alternative investment asset management industry,” adding, “We will continue to enhance our ESG expertise through in-depth research and field studies.”

Lee Gil-ui, Vice President of Mastern Investment Management’s Management Division, emphasized, “I highly appreciate that the university students planned practical projects aligned with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs),” and added, “Mastern Investment Management will continue to carry out activities that resonate with Gen Z talents.”
