About Kairi
대체투자 분야는 지속적으로 성장하여 글로벌 금융 산업의 중요한 하나의 축으로 자리 잡고 있지만 글로벌 시장에 넘쳐 나는 정보의 홍수 속에서 시의 적절하고 가치 있는 정보를 발굴하고 의사 결정에 반영하는 것은 어렵습니다.
한국대체투자연구원은 글로벌 금융 산업의 새로운 패러다임에 부응할 수 있는 질적 성장을 도모하고자 2014년에 창립된 대체투자전문 연구기관입니다. 프라이빗에쿼티, 부동산, 인프라, 원자재, 헤지 펀드 등 대체투자 분야 전반에 걸친 국내 최초 씽크탱크(Think-Tank)로서의 역할을 목표로 하며, 전문성을 가진 교수진과 학생, 실무자, 컨설턴트 등과의 협업을 통해 산업전반에 걸친 다양한 주제를 발굴하고 토론하며 연구하여 투자기관의 담당자를 포함한 업계 담당자들이 글로벌 시장에서 통찰력 있는 의사 결정을 할 수 있도록 지원하는데 그 목적을 두고 있습니다.
