Jeong Seunghoe, CEO of Koramco REITs Management & Trust, said, "The sale of the Hana Securities Building goes beyond the transaction of a single asset and is a process in which Koramco showcases to the market the REITs management and exit capabilities it has built up over the past several years," adding, "Koramco has consistently managed the entire process of investment, management, and exit based on the intrinsic competitiveness and mid- to long-term value of assets, and this principle will continue to lead to clear results even in a high-interest-rate and volatile market environment."
