Korea institutional intelligence
Capital Radar
A source-led view of Korean institutional capital for international GPs and market participants—built around investment portfolio scale, allocation, overseas exposure and official manager-selection activity.
Coverage, not inference. Fifty institutions are under structured review. Only figures that have a clean investment-portfolio scope and an official source are included in the comparison below. Missing figures are not treated as zero, and accounting assets, commitments and fund sizes are not substituted for investment assets.

USD amounts are comparison translations using the stated ECB-derived reference rate, not historical accounting translations. One conflicting investment-asset figure is withheld pending resolution; the remaining Core 50 institutions are excluded where public disclosures do not yet support a clean, comparable investment-portfolio measure.
How to read the data
Evidence before coverage
01Scope is explicit
Investment assets, accounting total assets, commitments, deployed capital and total fund size are kept separate.
02Status is explicit
Open, announced, amended, extended, cancelled, closed, shortlisted and selected are not interchangeable.
03Absence is not zero
If a figure or live notice cannot be verified from an official source, it is withheld rather than estimated.
Current notices
No live overseas-GP allocation notice is published on this page. This is not evidence that no activity exists: official notice boards are time-bound, Korean-only postings may change, and eligibility must be confirmed against the original notice.
Publication rules
- Only official public sources are used for factual status, deadlines and selection outcomes.
- Amendments, extensions, cancellations and final results are tracked separately from the original notice.
- A shortlist is never presented as a final selection.
- No rumor, non-public contact data, implied access, affiliation or client relationship is published.
General public information only. This page is not a solicitation, placement service, investment recommendation, legal or regulatory advice, or an offer to arrange a transaction. See the Website Notice.
