On November 12, the European Chamber of Commerce in Korea (ECCK) and the Maekyung Media Group co-hosted the Global Alternative Investment Insight (GAII 2024) conference at the Lotte Hotel in Seoul. This year’s conference centered on the theme of “Alternative Investment Strategies amid Times of Political Transition”. Experts from major pension funds and leading domestic and international private equity, real estate, and infrastructure investment firms gathered to discuss asset management strategies in a time of global change.
The conference opened with congratulatory remarks from Tae-hyun Kim, Chairman & CEO of the National Pension Service, and Il-Young Park, Chairman & CEO of Korea Investment Corporation, followed by welcoming speeches from Dae Whan Chang, Chairman of the Maekyung Media Group, and Philippe van Hoof, Chairperson of the ECCK.
The conference continued with a keynote speech by Howard Marks, Co-Chairman of Oaktree Capital Management and a legendary figure on Wall Street. This was followed by specialized sessions on secondary market strategies, private equity (PE), private debt (PD), real estate, and infrastructure investment. Experts from leading domestic and international institutions and asset management firms shared their experiences and insights, providing attendees with valuable perspectives.
Through the sessions, speakers acknowledged that, while political uncertainties have recently subsided, the influence of politics on economic dynamics remains substantial. Insights across the fields provided valuable opportunity for exploring diverse alternative investment opportunities. Panelists broadly agreed on an anticipated recovery in the secondary and M&A markets, alongside growing access to private markets for individual investors. On a global scale, the conference emphasized the expanding investment potential particulary in the AI ecosystem, Bio, sustainable energy related markets.
The ECCK extends its heartfelt appreciation to the Maekyung Media Group, all sponsors, distinguished speakers, panelists, and participants for their invaluable contributions to this year’s conference. We are grateful for the constructive dialogue, insightful perspectives, and collaborative spirit that defined the event, and we look forward to seeing you all again next year to continue advancing alternative investment strategies in our dynamic global landscape.
