Shinhan Capital
Shinhan Capital was established in 1991 as a subsidiary of Shinhan Financial Group. It functions as a corporate investor with business units in investment banking and private equity. The firm allocates across real estate project financing, structured debt funds, venture investments and digital asset custody. Confirmed holdings include the Shinhan Core Real Estate Debt Fund, KDAC custody platform, Blocko/Aergo, Bungaejangter, Galaxy Corporation and oil tankers YC Lilac and YC Ivy. Activity centers on South Korea with additional exposure through Solana network partnerships and global vessel operations. Shinhan Capital maintains two foundations: the Shinhan Financial Hope Foundation established in 2017 and the Shinhan Scholarship Foundation established in 2006. It sponsored the Global Conference Week in Seoul in July 2025 and the Shinhan Futures Lab Demo Day in December 2024. Service providers include KPMG Samjong as auditor. As a wholly owned subsidiary, Shinhan Capital executes mandates aligned with the parent group's balance sheet and regulatory posture rather than independent LP commitments.
