IGIS Asset Management creates and operates funds for major commingled funds and independent projects, based on various investment strategies and sectors. When making investment decisions as asset managers, we adhere to the following principles.
Placing clients' interests above all else is the fundamental principle of asset management. Upholding this principle requires a deep commitment to fiduciary duty, a strong ethical foundation, and a dedicated mindset. While our goal is to achieve successful investments, we are also navigate moments of crisis. At every critical decision point, we ask ourselves: “Are we prioritizing our clients’ best interests?” This guiding question ensures that our actions align with our core responsibility to investors.
Investment cycles are constantly evolving, and relying solely on macroeconomic trends is insufficient to navigate market shifts effectively. Our ability to closely observe industry and societal changes allows us to identify emerging investment opportunities ahead of the curve. This proactive approach has positioned us as the first Korean asset manager to successfully develop projects in emerging sectors, including data centers, senior housing, and global logistics centers.
As a firm built around real assets, our investments have a direct impact on communities and the people who use these spaces. We believe that the satisfaction and well-being of space users are key drivers of investment success for our clients. IGIS Asset Management is committed to engaging with stakeholders, implementing thoughtful policies, and upholding social responsibility throughout the development process.
Meticulous Risk Management
We pursue stable and sustainable returns through a comprehensive risk management system, categorizing key risks into investment, environmental, and social risks for systematic oversight. We systemetically assess and manage risks throughout the entire investment lifecycle—from initial evaluation and execution to asset management and exit. This process is guided by the Pre-Investment Review Committee and the Risk Review Committee. Recognizing the impact of climate change on asset management, we assess environmental factors such as climate risk, greenhouse gas emissions, and waste management using an ESG checklist when investing in new real estate and infrastructure assets. For specific assets, we also reference TCFD recommendations and GRESB guidelines to identify and analyze both physical and transitional climate risks.
We focus on minimizing potential social impacts that may arise from real estate development and physical asset investments. By addressing issues such as noise pollution, air quality, and construction site safety, we work closely with partners to mitigate risks. Through regular engagement and thorough due diligence, we strive to protect stakeholder rights and create positive impacts in local communities. Through this comprehensive risk management system, IGIS Asset Management ensures the secure operation of client assets while contributing to a sustainable future.
