ABOUT US

CEO / Founder

홍인관

Ike Investment는 가족 자산을 장기적 관점에서 운용하는 Single Family Office입니다.
Ike는 15년 이상 배터리 산업에 몸담으며, 가족이 설립한 Kokam을 직접 이끌고 RouteJade의 매각을 주도한 경험을 가지고 있습니다.

Kokam은 1989년 부친인 홍지준 회장(JJ Hong)이 설립한 회사로, Ike는 약 14년간 재직하며 회사를 성장시켰습니다.
2018년 SolarEdge(NASDAQ: SEDG)에 매각된 이후에도 4년간 President로 재직하며 Post-Merger Integration(인수 후 통합)과 운영을
총괄했습니다. 이 과정에서 배터리 관련 15건 이상의 특허를 보유하며 기술적 전문성을 갖추었고, 사내 연구소를 직접 이끌며 지속적인 연구개발을 주도했습니다.

2023년에는 가족회사였던 RouteJade를 Enovix (NASDAQ: ENVX)에 매각하며 두 차례의 성공적인 Exit을 완수했습니다.
이후 Ike는 축적된 자산과 경험을 기반으로 가족 자산을 체계적으로 운용하기 위해 Ike Investment를 설립했습니다.

Ike Investment는 헤지펀드, 주식, 부동산, 사모투자를 포함한 글로벌 자산배분에 집중하고 있으며, 기술·에너지 분야의 선별적 직접투자도
병행하면서 안정적이고 지속 가능한 성장을 추구하고 있습니다.

Who we are

We are a single family office managing
USD 120 million of proprietary capital.
Our platform operates on two pillars:

  • Multi asset allocation across hedge funds, public equities, fixed income, and real assets
  • Direct and co investments, selectively focused on technology and industrial themes
    including advanced batteries

Ike Investment combines deep sector expertise with disciplined portfolio management and
global asset allocation. By investing only our own capital without external LPs, we maintain
simple and transparent incentives while pursuing long term growth for family capital.

What we do

We manage and grow family capital through multi
asset allocation and partnerships with leading
global managers, complemented by occasional
selective co investments.

Our portfolio spans global public and alternative markets. We also make selective
investments in technology and industrial themes where our heritage provides unique
insight. Every decision is guided by deep diligence, disciplined portfolio construction,
and prudent risk and liquidity management, with no external LPs and a fully
transparent structure.

Where expertise meets allocation

Drawing on decades of experience in advanced batteries, we selectively invest
across public and alternative markets within a disciplined multi asset framework.

Our single family office deploys proprietary capital into technology and industrial sectors where we hold unique insight,
while maintaining diversification and long term resilience as the foundation of portfolio construction.

By partnering with these companies, we aim to drive their growth by increasing their production capacity and battery sourcing, ultimately adding value to our portfolio.

Our strategy is to identify and invest in these promising ventures to drive innovation in the battery sector and generate sustainable returns for our investors.
