Both strategies employ a rigorous bottom-up approach that emphasizes deep fundamental research to identify the highest quality small cap companies in the international markets.

"Investors are increasingly looking to shift their exposure back into international markets after several years of relative underperformance versus U.S. equities," said Foreman. "Hyung's track record and extensive experience with international and emerging market equities make him a strong addition to our portfolio management team here at KAR."

"KAR has a solid reputation built on 30 years of experience and success in the domestic small cap markets," said Kim. "The firm has carved a niche for itself in the industry, backed by tremendous leadership and portfolio management teams, and I am very excited about the opportunity to build on this strong foundation."

Kim earned his Bachelor of Arts degree from the Hankuk University of Foreign Studies in Korea, and his Master of Business Administration from the University of Chicago Booth School Of Business, with concentrations in accounting and finance. He is fluent in both Korean and German.
