This year, the association set its asset management goals at investment assets of 12.3 trillion KRW, a return rate of 5.03%, and earnings of 585.9 billion KRW.

This year’s investment strategy includes △ expanding investments in high-interest bonds and private loans that can secure stable returns in a market environment with increasing economic uncertainty △ combining real asset and equity investments in promising sectors such as AI, data centers, and renewable energy △ strengthening the investment network through expanded co-investments with asset management firms that have demonstrated excellent past performance.

On the same day, the association held a GP Day event and selected six outstanding asset management firms that contributed beyond expectations, presenting them with plaques of appreciation.

The six selected firms are Life Asset Management, Samsung SRA Asset Management, Clarion Partners, DWS Alternatives Global, Stick Investment, and Woori Venture Partners.

Kim Seong-su, Chairman of the Korea Scientists and Engineers Mutual-Aid Association, said, “The association’s excellent performance last year was thanks to the efforts of the asset management firms and the valuable assets entrusted by our 130,000 members who trusted the association.”
