Koramco Asset Management said on the 21st that it carried out its regular 2026 executive appointments, promoting Executive Vice Presidents Kim Tae-won and Yun Jang-ho to president.
The personnel moves focused on boosting business competitiveness by placing key talent, whose tangible results and expertise have been proven in core business areas, at the forefront. The strategy is to strengthen specialized management by investment sector to proactively respond to the fast-changing real estate market.
Kim has led the expansion of Koramco's investment portfolio, centered on digital infrastructure and large-scale mixed-use development. After stints at Korea Investment Management and Richmond Asset Management, Kim joined Koramco in 2016. Kim oversaw major projects including the Hwaseong JW Logistics Center, the Bokjeong Station area mixed-use development, and the K-Square Data Center Gasan development. In particular, Kim is credited with strengthening the competitiveness of the alternative investment platform by spearheading the formation of mezzanine and development blind funds.
Yun has contributed to the expansion of the domestic REITs market. After working at Samsung Everland (now Samsung C&T) and Kyobo Realco, Yun joined Koramco in 2005 and led major office investments including the Samsung Fire Seocho headquarters (The Asset Gangnam), Bundang Doosan Tower, and Hyundai Motor Securities Building. Yun played a key role in the growth of Korea's REITs market by successfully leading the listings of KORAMCO LIFE INFRA REIT and Koramco The One REIT.
Koramco Asset Management plans to use the promotions to president to firmly establish a co-CEO structure and strengthen execution across major investment sectors, including offices, logistics, data centers, and mixed-use development.
Along with this, the company also made new executive appointments to oversee new growth areas such as structured investments and data centers. Directors Jo Jeong-hwan and Lee Min-woo were promoted to executive directors and will be responsible for structured investments and the data center business, respectively.
A Koramco Asset Management official said, "The promotions of Kim Tae-won and Yun Jang-ho to president are personnel decisions based on tangible results and proven expertise," adding, "We will further advance our sector-based specialized management system to respond proactively to market changes."
Meanwhile, Koramco Asset Management is an affiliate of Koramco REITs Management and Trust, which holds the No. 1 share of Korea's private REITs market, and manages about 37 trillion won in real estate assets combining REITs and funds. Recently, it has been expanding its investment scope beyond traditional offices into new economy areas such as data centers and mixed-use development.
