John Lee
(English) Current CEO of Meritz Asset Management. In 1984, he emerged on the scene as a star fund manager at the famous American Wall Street investment firm Scudder, Stevens & Clark, where he ran the “Korea Fund”—the first-ever mutual fund to invest in the Korean market. By buying the then-underestimated Korean stocks for a long-term investment, he increased the asset that was worth KRW 60 billion at the time of listing, to KRW 1.5 trillion in 2005, which marked a milestone in history of Korea’s investment market. He then left the U.S. and moved to Korea in 2014 to foster the right culture of stock investment by using the investment philosophy of an advanced nation as well as his own principles. In just two years from taking office as the CEO of Meritz, he transformed the company that had previously recorded one of the lowest yields into a leading firm, causing a great stir in the industry. To correct the deep-rooted prejudices associated with finance in Korea, he has given over 1,000 lectures to all groups of people—including workers, housewives, and students. He is definitely the best investment mentor who strives to increase the financial literacy of Korea by writing books, appearing on media and uploading lectures on YouTube.
