Investment, at Acts Investment Advisors, means searching for value. Our main business is to find this value in the Korean stock and bond markets and deliver its benefit to our clients, by buying when a company is undervalued and selling when it reaches its fair value. In such a rapidly changing environment as Korea, this search for value is no easy task, but the staff members at Acts have proven in their investment careers that it can also be very rewarding.

This philosophy of value-orientation has a profound impact on the nature of who we are as a team.

First of all, it means that we are a long-term investor.

We do not try to benefit from short-term market fluctuations, but we instead patiently follow undervalued companies until the market represents its full fair value. We do not believe in predicting the market's temporary ups and downs, but in employing thorough research which leads us to honest opportunities.

Secondly, it means that we are strong believers in diversification. From venture businesses to blue-chip companies, we seek out and invest wherever we find benefits for our clients that outweigh the accompanying risk.

Lastly, and most importantly, it means that we are an active group, responding quickly and flexibly wherever or whenever we find investment value for our clients. To achieve this efficiency, we have created a dynamic teamwork unlike in any other fund management company. Every last member of the professional staff--including the partners themselves--actively work together to make your fund perform better by contributing ideas, making company visits, and participating in valuations and stock picking. Bureaucracy or conventional thinking is foreign to us.
