Golden Bridge Finance Center, as a creative pioneer, attempts to merge the ¡°3IBs¡± - Investment Banking, Industrial Banking and International Banking - by realizing a new model of channel, product and service innovation through separating and specializing sales and management in faithful accordance with financial theory.

Golden Bridge has developed into a financial group and after many years of preparation, is now equipped with the overseas foundation to focus globally on ¡°3IBs¡± ? Industrial Banking, Investment Banking and International Banking - and make social contributions through successful penetration of the Vietnamese market with the establishment of Golden Bridge Vietnam and the HanViet Foundation.
Along with Golden Bridge Capital and Golden Bridge Asset Management, Golden Bridge Investment & Securities also turned to profit within a year of its acquisition and restructuring. Golden Bridge Asset Management transformed from having industry¡¯s lowest assets under custody to generating record-making return rates through specializing in alternative investments. Golden Bridge Capital once had the most speculative debt, but it has become stable with the lowest percentage of bad debt in the industry. Also, Golden Bridge Investment & Securities holds a stable position as a corporate restructuring and M&A specialized company as it successfully closed a hostile takeover of a KOSDAQ-listed KOSF through an M&A private equity fund under the Indirect Investment Asset Management Business Act, the first such case in the industry. |

Although many companies have tried to break away from being Corporate Restructuring Companies to transform themselves into Buy-out Funds, Golden Bridge is the only company which has actually been successful in this endeavor.
Through direct acquisitions of Ssangyong Capital, New State Asset Management and Bridge Securities, Golden Bridge has transformed itself into a strong financial group in Korea. While simultaneously preparing to expand its business to China and Vietnam, it has successfully closed medium-sized M&A deals such as the sale of Woobang and Partsnic Components (currently, Daewoo Electronic Components).

Following the financial crisis, Golden Bridge took active measures to cope with rapid changes in the restructuring environment, which was at that time mainly lead by global financial capital acquiring NPLs, insolvent companies and non-performing financial institutions in Korea. Golden Bridge undertook corporate restructuring consulting for a range of insolvent companies such as Shinho Steel, Prochips and Samik Instruments, and also invested in the real estate of companies undergoing workout, such as Hanhap Industrial and Byuksan.
Golden Bridge has attained the position of a market leader through creative ideas such as the case of Shinho Steel where Golden Bridge succeeded its corporate restructuring project against the overseas investment fund pursuing higher profits only and the case of ProChips, the first workout company on the KOSDAQ market, which it turned round through an M&A in the shortest time frame. |
