This product allows investors to access private funds that, despite strong performance, have typically posed high entry barriers for most individuals, by offering re-investment through a public fund structure. According to the company, investors can diversify across various private funds with a small amount of capital, and performance fees linked to the returns of the underlying private funds are transparently reflected in the public fund’s net asset value.


The fund aims to pursue both relative stability and excess return through mutual complementarity across different multi-strategies. Private funds to be included in the portfolio were selected based on a comprehensive screening standard that considers not only return, but also volatility, maximum drawdown (MDD), resilience, and correlation. For the first six months after establishment, the fund will be available for subscription exclusively through Samsung Securities, and will soft-close once the fund size reaches KRW 400 billion.


The fund adopts a four-“engine” structure, with each engine playing a different role: ▲ The risk-controlled “CORE Engine” (Tiger Asset Management Discretionary Investment, Life Asset Management, C Square Asset Management), which focuses on absolute returns and downside protection; ▲ The “CORE+ Engine” (Gudo Asset Management, Must Asset Management), which adds excess return to the stability of the CORE engine; ▲ The “SECTOR Engine” (Daol Asset Management), which strategically targets specific industries or growth themes; and ▲ The “BUFFER Engine” (Daol Asset Management), which manages liquidity.


Tiger Asset Management Discretionary Investment, included in the CORE Engine, specializes in a long-only domestic equity strategy and uses hedging positions as supplementary strategies to manage the volatility of its long positions. Life Asset Management is characterized by its flexibility to apply various styles and strategies depending on market conditions, while C Square Asset Management excels in volatility control. In the CORE+ Engine, Gudo Asset Management focuses on analyzing three core elements in the discovery of investment opportunities, while Must Asset Management operates based on its philosophy of “investing in value that will surely be realized.”



A representative from Samsung Securities said, “This product enables investors to diversify across various strategies with a small amount of capital by packaging high-quality private funds previously inaccessible to most investors into a single public fund. We plan to continue introducing a differentiated lineup of products moving forward.”
