Company Introduction:

Hanwha is seventh–largest business group in South Korea, as of 2023, our total sales reached 61 billion USD, and we operate a global network of 776 entities worldwide. In 2024, we were named to the TIME 100 Most Influential Companies list.

Hanwha Asset Management founded in 1988, is a full-service investment firm providing equities, fixed income, ETFs, real assets, and private equity/venture capital—across both domestic and global markets. Hanwha Asset Management has approximately 400 employees and manages USD 76 billion in assets.

Our main business is: 1) Development and management of fund products, 2) Discretionary investment management and advisory services.

Hanwha Asset Management already has overseas entities in the United States and Singapore, and this year we are planning to establish a new entity in Abu Dhabi. We are currently recruiting founding members to help build this new company together.

Company History & Achievements:
At the end of March 2025, we were one of South Korea’s top five asset management companies with USD 76,007 million 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 is well recognized by investors, including Millennials and Generation Z, as easy to use with no sales commission and useful investment information. In addition, we plan to obtain a REITs AMC from South Korea’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and enter the REITs business starting in 2023.

These diverse efforts earned us the Grand Prize in the fund platform category at the ‘2024 The Most Trusted Brand Awards’ of The Chosun Daily, the ‘2024 The Most Recommended Brand Awards by customers’ of Korea Joongang Daily and the ‘2023 Korea National Brand Awards’ of The Chosun Daily.

Looking ahead, we will continue to build the foundation for future growth with a focus on the retirement planning market and alternative investments. We are also actively promoting global businesses and digital financial platforms as we become a comprehensive asset management solutions provider and top–tier asset management company in Asia.
