At a Glance

Seoul Private Equity (hereinafter referred to as SPE) is a traditional buy-out fund and various loans focusing on initial public offerings (IPOs), mergers and acquisitions (M&A), growth capital, carve-out deals, and related advisory services. It was established as an institutional-only private equity fund that forms and operates (Financing), Refinancing, Real Estate Development (REITs), Infrastructure, Equity Investment, and related advisory businesses as well as other special-situations funds. .

INSIGHT

Innovation is largely driven by the ability of ‘Big Players’ to mobilize large sums of capital and National support systems that are often thought to give emerging countries an advantage over developed countries. However, SPE found that these traditional factors do not apply to our present private equity market. Large financial institutions and Large foreign capitals are not taking the lead in the private equity market and yet, a ‘small group of agile financial experts’ are leading the industry and market.

It is noteworthy that the success factor of small group of experts are mainly based on the principle of ‘customer(investor) centricity’, which borders an obsession. This may be because those group defined the concept of the domestic industrial ecosystem (private equity market) relatively quickly and presented precisive agile framework.

STRATEGY

SPE's main stream is a two-track fund such as a traditional buyout fund and a special situation fund suitable for the recently relaxed financial policy, including private lending in a high interest rate environment, mezzanine shift, and funds that provide discounts for poor performance. We present secondary strategies using high discounts during the portfolio composition and rebalancing process. With the 'investor-centered' principle as the basis of investment management, we will establish ourselves as a rookie house that leads the success of innovation by promptly responding to the ever-changing environment.
