The $5.4 billion fund has completed five divestitures over the past six months, estimated to have produced a combined 1 trillion won in proceeds, including both the investment principal and capital gains.
The firm s aggressive divestments were in contrast to other private equity firms in Korea, which have opted to sit back until their portfolio companies achieve higher valuations with the receding of the pandemic.

The exit deal for Taihan Electric Wire Co. highlighted IMM PE s turnaround strategy. IMM PE took over a 71.51% stake in the country s No. 2 electric wire manufacturer for around 300 billion won in 2015. The company s reckless business diversification had aggravated its financial conditions, landing in the hands of creditor banks.

Attention is being focused on the next investment target of IMM Private Equity (IMM PE), as the domestic private equity firm (PEF) completed successful divestments last week from W Concept and Taihan Electric Wire.
The PEF and Citigroup Global Markets Securities, the underwriter for the sale of W Concept, selected Shinsegae Group s e-commerce unit SSG.com as the preferred bidder to acquire the womenswear fashion platform, Thursday, and signed a share purchase agreement.
SSG.com will take over a full stake in W Concept ― 80 percent held by IMM PE and 20 percent held by ISE Commerce ― after the Fair Trade Commission approves the merger deal.
