Korea Investment Value Management Raises 67.8 Billion KRW for Profit-Differentiated 'Korea Value Corporate Value Focus Fund'

Korea Investment Value Asset Management, a subsidiary of Korea Financial Group, announced on the 28th that it has completed the establishment of the profit and loss differential public offering fund ‘Korea Value Corporate Value Focus Fund,’ which can defend losses up to -15%, by raising 67.8 billion KRW. Including the subordinated investment contribution from Korea Investment Value Asset Management, the total management scale is approximately 77 billion KRW.

The Korea Value Corporate Value Focus Fund focuses on four themes of corporate value re-evaluation: ▲Deep Value Focus (ultra-undervalued stocks) ▲Shareholder Returns ▲Sustainable Management ▲Dividend Growth, and three themes of innovative growth: ▲Energy Innovation ▲AI Innovation ▲Innovative Small and Medium Enterprises.

General customers are prioritized as senior investors, and Korea Investment Value Asset Management is the subordinated investor. If losses occur, subordinated investors absorb losses first up to -15%. Conversely, if profits occur, profits are allocated to customers first, and profits exceeding 9.4% are shared between customers and the management company at a 6 to 4 ratio. The fund management period is three years, and early redemption (minimum period of 1 year and 15 days) occurs when the yield reaches 13.4%. It was exclusively sold through Korea Investment & Securities.

Korea Investment Value Asset Management previously launched the profit and loss differential funds investing in domestic stocks, ‘Korea Value K-Power Fund’ and ‘Korea Value AI Innovation Materials and Components Fund,’ in October last year and March this year, respectively. Despite the contraction of the public offering fund market, these funds received strong responses from investors due to their ability to defend losses up to a certain level, raising 72 billion KRW and 48.3 billion KRW, respectively.

According to the fund rating company Zeroin, as of June 28, the Korea Value K-Power Fund (No. 1 A Class) has recorded a yield of 13.17% since its establishment, and the Korea Value AI Innovation Materials and Components Fund (No. 1 A Class) has recorded a yield of 6.35% since its establishment.

Lee Seok-ro, CEO of Korea Investment Value Asset Management, said, "We will continue to launch products with structures that invest in various themes, reduce loss concerns, and pursue stable profits to contribute to improving customer returns."
