ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENT FIRM
Stonebridge Capital split off from IMM Investment in 2008 as an independent investment firm specializing in alternatives. Since then for the past twelve years, Stonebridge Capital has expanded its investment coverage, not only in venture capital but also in private equity. At the end of 2015, its AUM was about KRW 1.1 trillion.
Stonebridge Capital’s most remarkable track record yet to date is from 2012 when the fund raised KRW 818billion that invested in SK Incheon Petrochem. National Pension Services and KDB were major limited partners in the fund. Leveraging this distinguished record, Stonebridge Capital is on its way to expand and lead the South Korean private equity market.
Experts of Stonebridge Capital have established and managed 10 funds in total, each of which has produced steady investment performance, only possible through the management's industry expertise and thorough risk control management.
