36. Investment Philosophy
ď The aim is to achieve excess returns based on thorough fundamental research & concentrated investment.
ď Research capability is much stressed. Sector managers are in charge of investment universe and model
portfolio. They conduct their own company analyses and invest with conviction. The focus is on stock
selection based on bottom-up approach.
ď Portfolios are managed based on a long-term perspective rather than a short-term momentum.
ď Managers decide to invest preemptively based on research focusing on a long-term perspective.
ď Market and credit risks are constantly monitored so that upcoming and subsequent changes are identified.
ď Changes are met with appropriate responses while the effect on the stock holdings is examined.

Re-Rating
If stocks that generate stable profits based on their
franchise value or intrinsic competitive advantage are
undervalued compared to the market valuation, the
value of the stocks will eventually converge to the
intrinsic value

Predictability of Earnings
Sustainability of Earnings
Premium
If companies that are identified to have expected
structural growth and paradigm shifts are undervalued
relative to their growth potential, their structurally
stable growth potential will eventually be recognized
by consensus and the stocks will be valued higher than
the market valuation

- Stocks that have significantly higher intrinsic value
- Companies posting stable growth of earnings
- Stocks that match these conditions are actively purchased when the prices of the stocks tumble or the stocks are neglected

Risks and Disclaimers
General
The Fund is intended for long-term Investors who can accept the significant risks associated with investing in illiquid securities. An investment in the Fund
involves various risk factors, including the possibility of partial or total loss of the Fund capital, and prospective Investors should not subscribe unless they can
readily bear the consequences of such loss. There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its Investment Objective or Portfolio
Target Return, or that there will be any return on capital. In particular, potential investors should take into account the fact that the actual return achieved may
be more or less in any particular year, and that different returns may be achieved by different Investments, according to their different cost bases, and that
different Fund Investor Vehicles may have different returns.
Projections
The opinions stated in this presentation include some forecasted views. We believe that we are basing our expectations and beliefs on reasonable assumptions
within the bounds of what we currently know. However, there is no guarantee that any forecasts or opinions will be realized.
Portfolio
No representation is being made that any portfolio will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown.
Portfolio holdings are subject to change at any time without notice .
Risks Involving
Investment Strategy
Opinions, estimates, forecasts, projections and statements of financial market trends that are based on current market conditions constitute our judgment and
are subject to change without notice. There can be no guarantee they will be met.
Risks Associated with
Performance
The performance quoted is past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. All figures are in KRW terms, net of fees, and gross of tax. The impact of
the initial charge can be material on the performance of your investment. Performance figures including the initial charge are available upon request. The Fund
is subject to certain market risks. Investment returns and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be
worth more or less than original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data shown. For performance current to the most
recent month-end, please send an email to the following address: kbgm@kbfg.com
Currency Risks
Changes in the rates of exchange may affect the value of investments. The Fund can invest in overseas securities which may also generate profits overseas and
pay dividends in foreign currencies, which means the fund is exposed to changes in currency rates.
Impact of
Compensation
The Fund takes its charges from the Fund. The impact of Fund charges may be material on the value of any income you receive from your investment. There is
potential for future capital erosion if insufficient income is generated by the Fund to cover these charges. Please see the prospectus for additional information
on the fees and expenses.
Tax Risks
Tax treatment will depend on the individual circumstances of clients and may be subject to change in the future. The rate and amount of tax would vary
depending on the mix and type of investments made by the Fund. Investors should consult their tax advisers regarding such tax consequences as well as any
taxes to which they may be subject in their own jurisdiction.
Limitations of Target
Returns
An investor should not expect to achieve actual returns similar to the target return shown herein. The target return is the managerâs goal based on various
manager assumptions, calculations of available data, past and current market conditions, and available investment opportunities, each of which are subject to
change. Because of the inherent limitations of the target return, potential investors should not rely on it when making a decision on whether or not to invest in
this Fund.
