KREDIT is Korea University's real estate finance society established in 2017. It is composed of undergraduate students who study real estate investment, finance, and development theories as they prepare to enter the industry. The society actively engages in academic exchanges with industry professionals and real estate societies from other universities.

Ho Kyun Lim, president of KREDIT, opened the event by sharing the society's activities and vision under the theme 'Preparing for the Future of Real Estate Finance: The Challenges and Growth of Korea University KREDIT.'

This was followed by a lecture from Janghee Cho, Head of Domestic Investment Division 1 (Managing Director) at Maston Investment Management, who discussed 'Practical Investment Operations in Real Estate Asset Management: Blind Funds and Value-Add Strategies.' He introduced the operational structure of blind funds and how value-add strategies are realized in actual asset value enhancement, using concrete examples that drew significant interest from the students.

Tae Seok Lee, Head of Investment Team 1 of Domestic Investment Division 6 (Director) at Maston Investment Management, shared his personal career journey under the theme 'From Pension Funds to Asset Management: Real Estate Investment and Career Roadmap.'

In the final session, Minseok Kim, Head of the Good Influence Practice Center within the Social Contribution Promotion Team at Maston Investment Management, introduced the team's past activities and future direction. The session was an opportunity to share the team's philosophy of returning the expertise gained in real estate finance back to society and to reaffirm their ongoing commitment to nurturing future talent.

Since its official launch in April, Maston Investment Management's Social Contribution Promotion Team has continued to engage with various youth groups. Activities have included an 'Impact Forum' with sustainable management talent groups, a special lecture for the Korea branch of the International Forestry Students' Association (IFSA), and an invited talk at the International Relations Institute (IRI) at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies.
