Quarterback

Quarterback (쿼터백자산운용) is a Seoul-based data-driven asset management firm specializing in retirement and pension investment advisory services for Korean individual and institutional clients. Founded in 2015, the company manages over 582 billion KRW in assets under management across IRP (individual retirement pension), ISA (individual savings accounts), DC retirement pension, and individual stock accounts. Quarterback's investment approach is built on a decade-validated quantitative system that makes portfolio decisions based on data and consistent principles rather than human emotion, with single-client investment minimums reaching up to 40 billion KRW. The firm collaborates with more than 20 major financial institutions and provides both fixed-fee (0.7–1.0% of assets annually) and performance-based fee structures. Its team includes CEO Cho Hong-rae, former Global Research Director at Korea Investment Trust Management, and algorithm lead William Sohn, a KAIST bioengineering PhD. Quarterback positions itself as an algorithmic, always-on investment manager that eliminates human error from retirement wealth management.
