Korea Fund of Funds?

  • Korea Fund of Funds (KFoF) was established in 2005 based on the “Special Measures for the Promotion of Venture Businesses Act,” for the purpose of providing a stable capital source for venture investment. KFoF does not distribute the dividends during its fund duration but reinvest returns reflecting the market demands on an annual budget allocation.
  • For policy efficiency, the government provides the capital and KVIC, FoF management specialist, handles the investment decisions.
