AI summary
The conversation with CEO Mok Dae-gyun emphasizes that long-term performance depends less on a high success rate than on managing losses after getting a call wrong and being able to hold investments while reassessing the investment thesis. It explains that Korea offers opportunities arising from capital expenditure cycles, high volatility, and access to information, while the United States has strengths in innovation, industrial diversification, and resilience. However, buying only highly volatile technology stocks and leveraged products in both countries does not provide meaningful diversification. He believes that although corporate governance reform in Korea remains incomplete, change has begun and a revaluation can be expected over the long term. His conclusion is that, in China, investors must distinguish outdated indices centered on real estate and finance from the AI, semiconductor, and robotics industries, and continuously monitor companies attracting concentrations of highly skilled talent and capital to assess the competitive risks facing Korean companies.
