On July 6th, <S.T.A.R>, the Financial Investment Association of the College of Business Administration, received a scholarship from 'Time Poly Management Asset', the number one hedge fund in Korea. The S.T.A.R. continues to take on new and novel challenges to publish better quality reports, including three-month covered stock ban rules and investment trading strategies. We met Kim Gyu-ri, president of the S.T.A.R, who will invite seniors in the financial sector to build experience according to Hwang Sung-hwan, CEO of Time Folio Asset Management, who hopes to use a scholarship of 10 million won a year to strengthen the club's value, and listened to detailed stories.
1. Hello, It' so nice to meet you like this! Please introduce yourself first.
Hello, I'm Kim Gyu-ri, majoring in Global Business Administration. I am currently the president of the S.T.A.R of the Financial Investment Association. Since my term of office in June, I have been busy with school members' vacation session education internally, and externally homecoming and scholarship awarding ceremonies after taking office.
2. I heard from an article that you received a scholarship from Time Folio Asset Management. Congratulations! What is Time Folio IVY Club Scholarship? Please explain.
Thank you. I think this scholarship is both honorable and symbolic. Above all, I would like to express my gratitude to Professor Park Young-kyu, who was interested in and guided the society, and OB, who passed on the wonderful society called STAR. I would also like to do my best to further enhance the reputation of the society during my term.
IVY stands for Investment for Valuable Youth.
Hwang Sung-hwan, CEO of Time Folio, said that as the future of the Republic of Korea depends on finance, he has applied scholarship to the university investment club to foster great financiers who will lead the Republic of Korea.
In particular, he emphasized that he hopes the scholarship of 10 million won a year will be used to strengthen the value of the club. Rather than attracting funds through joint stock investment, invited seniors working in the financial sector to listen to the experience of the field, bind reports, produce souvenirs, and encourage them to use the funds to create royalties for the club.
Our STAR also wants to create a virtuous cycle structure so that many talented people can gather by increasing the reputation of the society and raising the reputation of the society by using subsidies in places where they can increase the reputation and loyalty of the society, such as homecoming and souvenir production.
3. I am curious about the motivation, selection criteria, and process to participate in the Time Folio IVY Club scholarship program.
Time Folio plans to further expand the number of investment clubs eligible for scholarships in the future. It holds two awards ceremonies in January and early July every year and plans to award scholarships of 10 million won per club per year. The first period was selected at the Time Folio level, but from the second period, it will be has a public offering.
Two months before this event, they will receive applicants for participation from college student finance-related clubs nationwide through the company's website contest. The final winner will be selected through the first document screening and the second presentation.
Since it is a program that supports 'Excellent Society', we consider passion and skills comprehensively. In particular, reports published by each academic society are uploaded to the Time Folio Cafe, and it is important to include new perspectives and insights as university student investors, not to copy the contents of the market.
STAR is also encouraging new and innovative attempts at the presidential level. An example is a three-month ban on stocks or a form of presentation of investment trading strategies. We are not complacent and working to publish better-quality reports than ever before, and have recently been recognized for its achievements.
4. Please introduce the STAR club that is currently serving as the president.
“Invest in your values”
Sungkyunkwan University's Financial Investment Association S.T.A.R stands for Sungkyunkwan Traders and Researchers, and has been known as the Financial Investment Association representing Sungkyunkwan University since 2000. One of the strengths is that you can experience both Research and Trade, which are major jobs in the financial sector.
In the case of Research, we analyze the company's financial structure and issues and create a report that evaluates the appropriate value of the company through valuation. Each week, each research team uses corporate and industry analysis to generate investment opinions and share opinions with each other through seminars.
In the case of Trade, the selected fund manager runs the actual STAR fund every semester. Fund managers conduct market analysis and portfolio briefings at every seminar. We are developing a sense of actual investment by sharing the current status of returns and the direction of fund management and discussing with academic members.
All members of S.T.A.R. engage in activities to broaden their perspective on the company and the industry through various activities. In addition, we are working with the goal of developing an understanding of investment and a sense of practice. Based on these capabilities, the cumulative 400 graduates are active in various financial sectors, including securities and asset management.
5. If you have any other projects of activities planned by the STAR club, please introduce them!
- STAR Homecoming Event Held
The STAR homecoming event was held on the 15th. Since it's an event where more than 100 people gather, I remember preparing for it a month ago. Since it was postponed due to COVID-19 and it was the first event in two years, many seniors attended and we were able to wrap up the event successfully.
We had a meaningful time talking to seniors who we would not normally meet, and it seems that networking, which had been paused for a while, has come back to life again. Starting with this homecoming event, I hope will be held regularly every year and be a meaningful event.
- University Student Union Research K.E.Y.S.S Competition Winner
Research competitions of Korea University, Ewha Womans University, Yonsei University, Sogang University, and Sungkyunkwan University are held every semester.
In the first semester of 2022, we were able to achieve a good result of 'winning'. In fact, as I prepare for this competition, I spend a month all night writing the report. It is competition that has been prepared so fiercely that I have never experienced that much tenacity and passion, so this victory feels more valuable.
In fact, our STAR is winning awards every year, and I hope we get good results next semester.
- Investment Information Application <Crrible> Collaboration and Popular Author Registration
It was also registered as a popular author under the STAR name of Sungkyunkwan University in the investment application <Cribble>
Previously, we didn't disclose our published report to the outside world, but since last semester, we have been releasing it as exclusive data in an investment information application called "Creeble". As a result, I am writing a report with greater responsibility than before while checking the facts of the data. We're proud to be an 'an analyst' and try to capture my own insights.
6. Lastly, if there is anything you want to tell your business students who are interested in financial investment.
“Passion, Skill, and People”
What I felt when I was in the conference for a year is that if I want to go to the financial sector, I think I need these three things. In fact, I believe that cultivating passion and skills can be done anywhere. But 'people' are different. Not everyone is given the opportunity to have a colleague, friend, or family to walk for the rest of their lives on the journey of the tough financial sector.
When asked what's left after graduating from STAR, everyone points to 'people'
In the end, our assets and pride will be our star colleagues, seniors and juniors. If you can dream of the financial sector, STAR is definitely the best option.
