Although the hedge funds sector is still in its infancy in Korea, there is a rapidly increasing investor demand combined with a growing base of Korean focused hedge funds. Asian fund managers are looking at Korea as one of the markets with the most potential for hedge funds in Asia, with the significant accumulation of wealth in the country, and more money flowing into more risky financial fields like the green industry, corporate restructuring and distressed securities. Hedge Funds Investment Korea 2010, held in Seoul, will explore the opportunities for the hedge fund industry in Korea. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to profit from becoming one of the early players in this market as it prepares to take off.
Asian fund managers positive on Korea
There’s room for growth in Korea’s hedge fund market. At the recent 4th annual Hedge Fund Japan congress, organized by IQPC, fund managers interviewed by Finance IQ were nothing but positive on Korea’s potential as a Hedge Fund market.
Ed Rogers, Chief Executive Officer of Rogers Investment Advisors, believes that in the medium term the opportunities in Korea will be abundant.
“Over time, between three to seven years, Korea will be a fantastic market. There have a number of well educated individuals, and there is a significant accumulation of wealth there. As far as that is concerned, Korea looks a lot like Japan, but they still do not have the depths of trading instruments and trading strategies in Korea that they have in Japan and that will probably hold Korea back a little bit,” he said.
And Rogers isn’t the only Hedge Fund advisor who is optimistic about the potential in Asia’s fourth largest economy. Paul Heffner, Chief Executive Officer of Gen 2 Partners, explained that because of where Korea is positioned, fund managers are very excited, not only from the equity side, but also from the credit side.
