OUR HISTORY

The Leading Investment Firm in Korea
IMM Investment today is a leading firm in Korean alternative investment market. However, the position as a top player in the Korean capital market was not achieved in one day. IMM Investment has built up its track record with the strong management team based on partnership, working to increase the value of portfolio companies and distribute returns to LP investors

1999~2006 _Growth Stage
Korean VC industry emerged when ‘Special Law to Promote Venture Capital Companies' was enacted in 1997. IMM Investment was established in September 1999. In 2000, the company merged with GEO Investment and set foundation for future growth. In the initial years, IMM Investment focused on IT and Culture/Contents industry and Corporate Restructuring Company (CRC). Through outstanding performance from VC and CRC, IMM Investment built successful track records, and asset under management reached KRW 207bn by December 2006.
2007~2009 _Transition
After enactment of the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act (formerly indirect Investment Asset Management Business Act) in 2004, CRC was gradually replaced with PEF. In the end of 2006, IMM Investment spun-off Buyout business to IMM PE and, in 2008, spun-off Culture/Contents focus to Stonebridge Capital. During this time, some of the company’s successful investments include Celltrion(Biosimilar), Novelis Korea(Manufacturing, Flat-rolled aluminum products).
2010~Present _Emergence as a leading investment firm in Korea
Based on the successful track record, IMM Investment raised several VC and PEF funds since 2010. Company currently manages total of 26 VC funds (AUM KRW 1,750bn) and 30 PEF (AUM KRW 7,310bn). In addition to VC, IMM Investment also made several investments in medium-to-large sized enterprises or infrastructures, notably Hanjin Newport, PSA Hyundai Pusan Newport Terminal, Hyundai LNG Shipping, and Incheon Total Energy Company. IMM Investment is currently actively pursuing both domestic and overseas investment opportunities.
