Good Morning Securities ("GMS")
Turning Around a Fallen Company
H&QAP’s investment in GMS was one of the most recognized private equity transactions in Korea’s history.
GMS, H&QAP’s first investment in Korea, represented a major restructuring pportunity. After GMS was spun out of the Ssangyong Group, H&QAP sourced world-class management for GMS, leading to improved corporate governance and financial transparency. The investment gave H&Q Asia Pacific the control necessary to guide the company
through a complex financial restructuring.
H&QAP’s operational and financial re-engineering of GMS turned a once-fallen
chaebol subsidiary into one of Korea’s most profitable and best- managed independent securities houses.
In 2002, H&QAP sold GMS to The Shinhan Group, returning 6.6 times its original invested capital. |
