  • • Korean Teachers' Credit Union (KTCU) is seeking four managers for a domestic hedge fund mandate of up to 400 billion won (about $301 million), according to the publisher summary of the primary source.
  • • The mandate targets an annual return of at least 10%.

  • • The primary source excerpt is truncated, so full eligibility criteria, timing and fee terms cannot be confirmed from the material available.
Summary
Korean Teachers' Credit Union (KTCU) has opened a tender to select four managers for a domestic hedge fund mandate worth up to 400 billion won, roughly $301 million, according to the publisher summary. The mandate sets a target annual return of at least 10%.

The capital is expected to be deployed mainly into equities, mezzanine securities and derivatives. The publisher summary references equity long/short and event-driven strategies, though the excerpt cuts off before listing the full strategy set.

The available primary-source material is limited. The remainder of the page is unrelated market commentary on Nasdaq-100 (NQ) futures, which is not part of this mandate and has been excluded. Details such as submission deadlines, minimum track record requirements, and the individual allocation sizes for each of the four mandates are not available in the source provided.

For allocators and managers, the tender is a notable domestic institutional opportunity given its size and the four-manager structure, which implies multiple allocations rather than a single award.
