The Korea Overseas Infrastructure & Urban Development Corporation (KIND, President Kim Bok-hwan) announced that it hosted a Green Fund Investment Briefing Session for domestic asset management companies on June 18 at the Two IFC Forum in Yeouido, Seoul.

The briefing session was organized to encourage the joint identification of overseas green projects by the Green Fund and domestic asset management firms and to expand co-investment opportunities through the establishment of project funds.

During the event, KIND introduced the Green Fund’s investment structure and utilization strategies to participating asset management companies. It also conducted one-on-one investment consultations to discuss potential projects and explore avenues for collaboration.

The Green Fund is a policy fund specializing in green industries, including carbon reduction, energy transition, the circular economy, and the water sector. It is currently the only policy fund in Korea dedicated to investing in new overseas green projects. The fund provides various forms of financial support, including equity investments and loans, for overseas green projects involving Korean companies.

As the Green Fund management institution, KIND launched the fund-of-funds in October 2024 and successfully established the first and second blind funds in 2025, totaling KRW 417.2 billion. It is currently proceeding with the establishment of project funds totaling KRW 92 billion.

A KIND official stated, “Through this briefing session and investment consultations, we aim to actively identify promising overseas green projects and expand Korean companies’ participation in overseas green business opportunities with the support of the Green Fund. We will continue strengthening cooperation with private asset management companies to facilitate the creation of project funds and maximize the effectiveness of policy fund investments.”

Approximately ten representatives from domestic asset management companies attended the event. Participants expressed strong interest in the Green Fund’s project fund investment framework and investment structure. They also noted that co-investment with a policy fund could help attract private investors and enhance investment stability.
