Ace Investment & Finance
Founded in 2006 and headquartered in Seoul, Ace Investment & Finance operates as a corporate investor providing capital and advisory services to early-stage and growth-stage companies. The firm combines direct investment with IPO consulting and M&A incidental services, focusing on Korean ventures that commercialize new technologies. Deal activity spans venture rounds in enterprise software, healthcare services, and fintech. The firm consistently co-invests alongside domestic financial institutions rather than leading rounds in isolation. Known co-investors include Infinity Global Asset Management, Hi Investment & Securities, NH Investment & Securities, and Xoloninvest. Portfolio companies that have drawn these syndicates include T.S. Investment Corporation, Boditech Med, Gangnamunni, AJU IB Investment, and TILON — a mix of financial platforms, diagnostics, and software infrastructure businesses. The firm’s team size and total deployment remain undisclosed. Its operations are concentrated in Seoul with no confirmed additional offices. Adjacent vehicles — such as a philanthropic foundation or a real-asset arm — are not publicly documented. In September 2023, the firm collaborated with NH Investment & Securities and Hi Investment & Securities in a funding round for T.S. Investment Corporation (per Altss research). Ace Investment & Finance’s structural character hinges on its role as a corporate investor embedded in domestic co-investment networks. Unlike a multi-family office or a blind-pool fund manager, the firm operates with a deal-by-deal syndication model tied to Korean securities firms. This architecture gives it access to a pipeline shaped by local institutional relationships rather than global LP fundraising cycles.
