Aegis Asset Management Completes Placement of 8th Batch of New Employees... "Focus on Asset Management"

Aegis Asset Management is strengthening its workforce in the department responsible for stable asset management and profit realization of funds.

Aegis Asset Management announced on the 16th that all 8th batch new employees who completed their introductory training earlier this month have been assigned to domestic and overseas asset management sectors.

Amid significant market uncertainty, the goal is to allow them to gain sufficient experience in asset management, focusing more on post-management of existing investments rather than new investments.

On the 1st of last month, Aegis Asset Management selected six new employees through open recruitment. Additionally, on the 13th, personnel appointments were made with three employees assigned to the KAM Division (domestic asset management) and three to the Global Fund Management Part within the Global Asset Division (overseas asset management).

Prior to this, a six-week training program for new employees was conducted. During the first half of the training, 35 executives including key management introduced various business areas directly through a two-week program.

Subsequently, core (Backbone) training was provided to acquire practical knowledge applicable to frontline tasks such as investment, asset management, risk management, and legal affairs. The training involved experts invited from external law firms and accounting firms, as well as internal executives and staff actively engaged in various fields within the company. New employees learned the basics through online and offline lectures and deepened their understanding through assignments and practical exercises.

A session to evaluate the training outcomes through group projects was also held. Through group preparation, new employees proposed ideas such as ▲new ways to utilize office parking lot sites like self-storage in the autonomous driving era ▲methods to enhance the value of idle military facility sites caused by a decrease in military personnel resources due to demographic changes.

Furthermore, throughout the training process, new employees conducted field training by visiting 18 real assets managed by Aegis Asset Management. The six-week program, totaling over 220 hours, concluded with participation in a workation program to experience various working environments.

Aegis Asset Management is unusually recruiting new employees through open recruitment for the 8th consecutive batch as an asset management company. This is to increase youth employment and provide opportunities for inexperienced young people to grow into asset management experts.

Lee Gyuseong, CEO of the Management Support Division at Aegis Asset Management, said, “We conduct open recruitment for new employees every year along with various training programs to secure future growth engines for Aegis Asset Management and nurture excellent mid- to long-term talent. We hope that the new employees will contribute to the stable management of client assets during this period of high investment uncertainty and grow into asset management experts.”
