Overview
A. Firm Description and Principal Owners
Hanwha has been registered with the SEC as an investment adviser since 2017 and has been in business
since June 2005.
Hanwha is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hanwha Asset Management Co., Ltd., which in turn is a wholly-
owned subsidiary of Hanwha Life Insurance Co., Ltd., which is partially-owned by Hanwha Corporation, a
Korean publicly-traded company.
Hanwha’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Investment Officer, and Managing Director is Dong Jun Im.
B. Types of Advisory Services Offered
Hanwha provides investment advisory and/or investment management services to institutional clients,
including other investment managers. Services provided are subject to the terms of the relevant
investment management/entrustment agreement or investment advisory agreement entered into with
clients. Hanwha generally invests in and/or advises on fixed-income securities and private equity
securities of companies in various sectors, usually in the early- or mid-stage of development (or private
funds that primarily invest in such securities).
Hanwha also serves as an investment manager to private investment funds (each a “Private Fund”) that
are exempt from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and whose securities are not
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Investment management is provided directly to
such Private Funds, subject to the discretion and control of the applicable Private Fund’s general partner,
and not individually to the investors in a Private Fund. Services are provided to a Private Fund in
accordance with the investment management agreement and/or the organizational or offering
documents of a Private Fund (such documents collectively referred to herein as “Organizational
Documents”). Investment restrictions, if any, are set forth in the Organizational Documents. For its Private
Funds, Hanwha primarily invests in private equity securities of companies in various sectors, usually in the
early- or mid-stage of development (or private funds that primarily
invest in such private equity
securities).
Hanwha also provides administrative services to other institutional clients, and investment advisory
services relating to real estate and infrastructure. These activities are legacy activities of Hanwha and are
not currently offered, marketed to, or made available to new clients or investors. As such, these legacy
activities are not discussed in any further detail herein.
As used in this Brochure, for the avoidance of doubt, the term “private equity” currently refers primarily
to equities of early- and mid-stage companies, i.e. venture capital.
C. Client Tailored Services & Client Imposed Restrictions
Hanwha provides its investment advisory or investment management services specifically tailored to the
investment objectives and risk tolerance of its clients. The specific investment advisory or investment
management services we provide are set forth in the investment advisory agreements or investment
management/entrustments agreement between Hanwha and each of its clients. When establishing an
investment program, clients may impose restrictions on investing in certain securities or types of
securities. Hanwha will work closely with its clients to tailor the services to be provided and/or
accommodate a client’s restrictions, if any.
With respect to the Private Funds, Hanwha formulates investment objectives and manages the
investment program of such Private Funds. The investment objectives and guidelines for the Private Funds
are contained in the Organizational Documents of the Private Funds. Generally, it is not possible for
investors in Private Funds to tailor the investment program of the Private Funds due to the commingled
nature of an investment fund.
D. Wrap Fee Programs
Hanwha does not sponsor or participate in wrap fee programs.
