Company profile
researched Aug 2026Quarterback Asset Management (쿼터백자산운용) is a South Korean asset management firm that manages retirement and investment accounts using data- and rule-based strategies rather than discretionary judgment. Its services span pension savings (연금저축), individual retirement pensions (IRP), defined-contribution corporate retirement plans (DC), tax-advantaged ISA accounts, and domestic and overseas stock accounts, with strategies ranging from retirement pension allocation to US thematic and global asset portfolios.
The firm's stated investment approach is to replace emotion-driven decisions with consistently applied, data-verified rules: experts design the strategies and systems execute them, with the aim of maintaining discipline through market volatility. Client assets are held in separate brokerage accounts in the client's own name, segregated from the firm's proprietary assets. The company offers both advisory and discretionary (일임) mandates, and operates a pension research unit (연금연구소) whose specialists handle education, consulting and research.
Business model
The firm charges clients for advisory and discretionary management of their investment and pension accounts, offering a choice between a flat asset-based fee of roughly 0.7–1.0% per year and a performance-based fee charged only when returns are generated; no termination fee is applied for ending a mandate [0][1][2].
Management/advisory fees on client assets, structured either as a fixed annual rate on assets (0.7–1.0%) or as a performance fee contingent on gains [0][1][2].
Traction
The firm reports total assets under management of KRW 582 billion as of year-end 2025, more than 20 major partner financial institutions, and a largest single-client investment of KRW 40 billion [0][1][2]. In May 2026 Korean trade press reported a fifth sales tranche of its US thematic strategy through Korea Investment & Securities.
