At the end of 2022, we were one of South Korea’s top asset management companies with USD 78.63 billion in assets under management (AUM). By demonstrating our outstanding expertise in both alternative investment and traditional investment, we achieved the No. 1 position among comprehensive asset management companies in the overseas infrastructure investment fund category. In 2021, as part of expanding into digital finance, we launched the PINE app, a platform for direct sales of funds for individual investors. The app has gained recognition from investors, particularly Millennials and Generation Z, for its user-friendly interface, low sales commission, and valuable investment information.
