KIC shares the advanced management know-how it has gained through diverse global investment experiences with domestic financial institutions, helping strengthen Korea's finance industry.
In April 2014, KIC launched the Public Community for Overseas Investment (PCOI) to bolster the overseas investment capabilities of the domestic public sector. Through this platform, we share information and best practices with domestic public institutions, including pension funds, mutual aid associations and other national institutions.
In 2022, the PCOI convened four times online and in a hybrid online-offline manner to discuss the post-pandemic financial market outlook, infrastructure investment strategies in a carbon-neutral era, private equity growth capital, green (climate) technology and global investment cases.
The PCOI has 26 member institutions, including KIC, as of 2022. Through this platform, KIC will continue to offer member institutions partnerships and support.

KIC established the International Financial Cooperation Council (IFCC) on the basis of its overseas offices in the financial centers of New York, London, Singapore and San Francisco. The aim is to share investment information and form partnerships with Korean public and private investment institutions in those regions. This network of leading global investment institutions also helps KIC gain a balanced view of major financial, investment and economic trends and strengthen its investment capabilities.
The IFCC was launched in New York in November 2017, London in February 2018, Singapore in August 2019 and San Francisco in September 2022. The New York office holds meetings monthly, the London and Singapore offices quarterly and the San Francisco office semiannually. For each meeting, KIC’s overseas offices invite local experts from asset management firms and investment banks to present and share views on the global economy and local finance industry.
KIC shares information on global financial market trends and promising investments through the IFCC. We also plan to collaborate on joint investments when great opportunities arise and make inroads into local markets with leading investors.

In 2022, KIC launched the International Finance Academy to grow the pool of asset management professionals in Korea. Top domestic experts with vast experience in overseas asset management give seminars through the academy. In 2022, seminars were given on topics including overseas alternative investment strategies by asset class, alternative investment taxation, alternative investment contracts, risk management, asset allocation strategies and venture capital for 71 asset managers from pension funds, mutual aid associations and public financial institutions.
KIC plans to grow the International Finance Academy based on the know-how and network it has gained in the global asset management market. We will continue to discover seminar topics that meet attendee needs and increase the number of participating institutions to help develop the domestic finance industry.
