The Alternative Investment Support Team serves as a key back-office function, providing essential support throughout the investment execution process.

As the Alternative Investment Division invests in areas such as mezzanine instruments and other non-traditional assets, transactions often involve complex structures and extended procedures. The team ensures that these investment processes are carried out efficiently and without disruption.

Specifically, the Alternative Investment Support Team manages the entire process from the point of investment decision to contract execution and capital deployment. It reviews key contractual terms, coordinates with accounting and external institutions, and ensures that all necessary agreements and procedures are completed without issues.

During the capital execution phase, the team oversees fund transfers to ensure that investment payments are made accurately and on time, while maintaining compliance with internal approval and reporting procedures.

In addition, the team is responsible for post-investment management. This includes supporting accounting and settlement for invested assets and funds, and preparing various reports required by regulators or investors during the investment period.

Through these efforts, the Alternative Investment Support Team enables portfolio managers in the Alternative Investment Division to focus on their core tasks - identifying new opportunities and developing investment strategies.

The Alternative Investment Support Team oversees the entire investment lifecycle - from execution to exit - with a proactive approach to risk management.

Beyond administrative support, the team ensures the stability and transparency of complex mezzanine and fund investment structures by focusing on the following key areas:

1. Accurate understanding and implementation of investment terms

The team conducts thorough reviews of conversion prices, refixing clauses, interest rates, and maturity structures for mezzanine instruments such as Convertible Bonds (CB), Bonds with Warrants (BW), and Redeemable Convertible Preferred Shares (RCPS), while continuously monitoring them post-investment.

2. Systematic management of interest, principal, and key schedules

All critical events - including interest payments, maturities, put/call options, and conversion exercises - are systematically tracked and managed through a calendarized control process to prevent delays or omissions.

3. Transparent fund flow management and effective communication

The team meticulously manages capital calls, investments, distributions, and various fees, while ensuring transparent communication with internal stakeholders and investors in the event of material changes or potential risks.

4. Compliance with regulations and internal controls

The team strictly adheres to applicable supervisory regulations (including those of the Financial Supervisory Service), fund agreements, trust contracts, and internal policies to preempt compliance risks.

The Alternative Investment Support role provides essential support throughout the entire investment process, ensuring that transactions and operations are carried out smoothly and securely.

It is not a simple administrative task but a core function that enhances the efficiency and reliability of investment activities. Therefore, developing relevant knowledge and skills in advance can significantly help with adapting to the role.

In particular, understanding fund operation methods and the characteristics of mezzanine products allows new employees to quickly grasp the workflow of investment support. A basic understanding of over-the-counter (OTC) structures and procedures is also valuable when reviewing contracts and transaction details in practice.

From a practical skills perspective, proficiency in Excel-based data analysis and reporting is essential. The ability to organize data systematically using functions and pivot tables - and to prepare reports based on such analysis - will be a strong asset in the field.

Lastly, accuracy and a strong sense of responsibility are critical qualities for this position. Even small errors can have significant consequences, so attention to detail is key. Since the role involves frequent collaboration with portfolio management, risk management, and other teams, effective communication skills are equally important.

The Alternative Investment Support Team is a dynamic yet detail-oriented organization where energy and stability coexist. Here, you can experience a fast-paced, collaborative environment that stays agile without losing precision.

Because multiple investment deals often progress simultaneously, prioritizing tasks and responding swiftly are part of the team’s daily routine. As a result, the atmosphere is lively and vibrant rather than monotonous.

The team also works closely with various departments - including Portfolio Management, Risk Management, Compliance, and Back Office - fostering a culture of seamless communication and collaboration. Information is shared promptly, and members support one another through careful review and mutual trust.

Given the nature of the work, even minor errors can have a significant impact. This is why team members double-check each other’s work and provide solid backup when needed. Through this process, a sense of trust and reliability continues to deepen, creating a team culture where people can depend on each other and grow together even in a fast-moving environment.
