Golden Bridge was first established in Seoul in 2000 as a financial consulting and advisory services firm for small and medium sized companies, and set up subsidiaries in the real estate investment, information & communication and corporate restructuring sectors. It successfully undertook acquisitions and restructuring of troubled companies in the credit financing, asset management and brokerage fields, and in October 2006, established a local subsidiary in Vietnam as a stepping stone to expand to overseas financial markets. As such, Golden Bridge is actively pursuing its path towards the integration of the ¡®3IBs¡¯ (Industrial Banking, Investment Banking, International Banking) based on direct investments and private equity funds.

Golden Bridge has achieved over two-fold annual growth in net assets and over 100% in investment returns over the past seven years. However, it doesn¡¯t take pride only in its high risk tolerance nor its high return on investments. During the same period, it has been able to sustain approximately 20,000 job positions through providing corporate restructuring services to approximately 50 companies, and placing 50 fund investments.
  Golden Bridge is a leader which has developed, with a creative passion, the corporate and financial markets and industries and the state restructuring sector by offering investment products and services based on the real economy. And in 2007, the company launched a financial advisory service and an integrated financial center in pursuit of innovation in financial products and service channels.
