South Korea’s securities industry plans to invest approximately 1 trillion won ($720 million) in venture secondary transactions over the next three years, giving existing investors a route to sell stakes in unlisted companies. Seven mega investment banks will contribute about 618.5 billion won through individual investments, potentially rising to around 700 billion won if additional comprehensive financial investment business entities obtain short-term debt issuance rights. Separately, the Korea Financial Investment Association and leading securities firms will launch a 300 billion won joint fund. The initiative is designed to strengthen the venture exit market and support the investment-growth-recovery-reinvestment cycle. Securities-related institutions are preparing additional measures worth up to 1 trillion won, which could bring total financial-industry support for the venture exit market to approximately 2 trillion won.
