General Information

Korean onshore funds are Korean securities investment trusts, which are a unit trust style fund set up under Korean regulations. There are three
parties: the manager, the trustee, and the investors (beneficiaries). The manager plays a broad role and is responsible for investment selection as well
as administrative matters such as calculation of net asset value and issue and redemption of units, although some activities may be assigned to third
parties such as sales through distributors. The trustee, which is one of Korea's major commercial banks or the Seoul branch of a foreign bank, is
chiefly responsible for the custody of the assets of the trust.

Korean securities investment trusts are regarded as domestic investors; therefore they are not subject to the foreign investment limits that apply to
some Korean companies such as Korea Telecom., SK Telecom, KEPCO, Korea Gas, Hanaro Telecom, LG Home Shopping, and CJ39 Shopping.

Other Korean Funds

In addition to the above examples of equity funds, we also distribute a wide range of Korean bonds funds (such as corporate bond funds,
medium-term government bond funds, long-term government bond funds), money market funds, and hybrid funds (funds that contain a mixture
of equities and bonds in order to limit volatility in performance).

Overseas Funds

KITMC has developed a range of funds that invest in overseas markets. These are mainly fund of funds that invest in a range of overseas equity
funds or fund of funds that invest in a range of overseas hedge funds. The use of a fund of funds structure enables domestic retail clients to gain
exposure to overseas funds that are not registered for sale in Korea.

In addition, KIMTC is also developing into a specialist for funds investing in Vietnam and launched several funds in 2006 for investment in listed
and unlisted stocks in that country.

Onshore Funds exclusively for Foreign Investors

In the past, we offered a range of funds that were established for sale exclusively to overseas investors (non-residents of Korea). Although we
maintain several of these funds, as a result of changes in Korean law and regulations we are no longer establishing new funds or promoting sales
of units in existing funds, and foreign investors may gain exposure to Korea through investment in the range of funds offered to both resident
and non-residents of Korea, such as those mentioned above.
