Jin Young, Minister of Public Administration and Security. NewsisEarlier in February this year, Minister Jin invested 100 million won in ‘Optimus Creator Professional Investment Private Equity Fund’ on his behalf through NH Investment & Securities in Yongsan-gu, Seoul. Minister Jin’s wife and son also invested 200 million won each, and Jin’s family put a total of 500 million won in the fund.
In the Optimus Fund product guide that Minister Jin joined, it is indicated that he is investing in locally issued bonds and corporate bonds established by public institutions. Since the product was a fund that made a profit by buying government-supplied corporate bonds mandated by local governments or public corporations, the participation of high-ranking public officials could be controversial.
However, Minister Jin said that the product of the invested fund matured in August this year, and the cessation of the Optimus fund swap occurred in June, causing damage. An official from the Ministry of Public Administration and Security said: “I heard that Minister Jin was invited to join the employee of NH Investment & Securities. He also said, “I am very sad to be a victim because of the great loss.”
The Seoul Central District Prosecutor’s Office, which is investigating suspicions related to the Optimus Fund, is analyzing and obtaining a list of 3,300 contractors who have joined the Optimus Fund from June 2017 to May this year. The plan is to investigate the investment process of the fund’s contractors and whether any contractors were involved in the fund’s management process.
