Frequently asked questions

What is the relationship between Korea Investment Management and Korea Investment & Securities?

Both entities sit under Korea Investment Holdings. Korea Investment & Securities is the group's brokerage and investment banking arm, while Korea Investment Management is the dedicated asset management entity. The brokerage unit provides the manager with research, distribution, and institutional access advantages compared to standalone asset managers in the Korean market.

How does Korea Investment Management source investment opportunities?

The firm sources through the parent group's brokerage research network, institutional relationships across Asia, and its own direct origination efforts. The Korea Investment Holdings ecosystem provides a deal flow channel distinct from independent Korean managers, particularly through the securities arm's corporate and institutional client relationships.

Does the firm disclose its assets under management separately from the parent?

Korea Investment Holdings has reported consolidated group-wide AUM in excess of KRW 100 trillion in recent periods, but Korea Investment Management does not regularly publish a standalone, audited AUM figure in its own name (per public disclosures).
