Equitix in South Korea

This week, Equitix hosted its inaugural Investor Conference in Seoul, with members of our team from London and Korea presenting to an intimate audience of LPs.

Partnering with investors in Korea since 2018, led by MD and Country Head Andy (Sang-hun) Lee, now in 2024, Equitix is experiencing a vintage year, demonstrated by our continued growth, international expansion and delivery of strong returns for investors in several of our core Funds.

Tony Clemson, Country Director in Seoul for the Department for Business and Trade joined us and spoke engagingly about investing in the UK which continues to be an exceptional place for investing, as the most international asset management industry with strong governance measures in place.

Our 5 key takeaways for choosing to invest in the UK;

1. The 1st globally for international reach of inflows;
2. The 1st for number of unicorns in Europe and 3rd globally;
3. The 1st for FDI in Europe in 2022;
4. Since 1990 the UK has amassed $3tn in foreign direct investment – almost 3x as much as France and Germany combined in the same period;
5. The UK is decarbonising faster than any other G20 country: its commitment to NetZero presents a strong pipeline of investable opportunity
