CEOs MESSAGE
CEOs Message

Respected Shareholders and Customers!

I would like to deliver my heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering trust and support for Samsung Asset Management. In 2010, Korea successfully recovered from the global financial crisis on the strength of a 6% economic growth rate buoyed by robust exports, the most successful rebound among the OECD countries. The better-than-expected earnings by Korean companies propped up the Korean stock market, which closed the year surpassing a monumental 2,000 point mark. The funds market, however, suffered contraction prompted by the riseaverse investor sentiment in the aftermath of the financial crisis. As a result, the industrys assets under management (AUM) size declined by KRW 17 trillion, from KRW 332 trillion in December of 2009 to KRW 315 trillion in December of 2010. The total amount in equity funds shrank 20% during 2010, from KRW 126 trillion in 2009 down to KRW 101 trillion. As a consequence, the entire industry suffered from diminishing AUM and profits over the year. Undaunted by adverse circumstances and in pursuit of new markets, Samsung Asset Management engaged in active product development and marketing activities. Accordingly, operating income grew by KRW 7.1 billion (USD 6.4 million) on the previous year, to KRW 111.5 billion (USD 100.7 million). Net income posted a 20% year-onyear growth to reach KRW 26.1 billion (USD 23.6 million), proving the companys sound revenue structure and market strength. In addition to these considerable financial achievements, we were named the Korean Asset Manager of the Year by the investment

In order to realize its mid-term goal despite this unfavorable market environment, Samsung Asset Management geared its management policy for 2011 to preparing mid- to long-term growth platforms through enhanced equity fund profitability. In line with this goal, we set the following strategies: First, Samsung Asset Management will mobilize resources company-wide to reinforce its competitiveness in the equity funds business. We will focus on keeping the investment performance of all investment divisions within the top 30% of its industry peers, while raising our equity fund market share. Second, we will reinforce our overseas operations. As we step up marketing campaigns aimed at prominent global clients, such as sovereign wealth funds and public funds, we will focus on reinforcing the infrastructure of our overseas branch offices by recruiting and retaining local talent. Third, we plan to mount differentiated marketing activities on the distribution channels. By increasing the number of specialty products, customized to the needs of each distribution channel, we will boost mutual cooperation thereby increasing the overall AUM. Finally, we will further enhance management efficiency. By reining in unnecessary spending, we will focus on improving profitability. Based on these strategies, every employee at Samsung Asset Management will make a concerted effort to realize the shared goal of becoming an unmatched leader in the Asian asset management market. I humbly ask for your continued support and encouragement as we endeavor towards that goal. Thank you. President & CEO

We will make a concerted effort to become a Top-Class Asian Asset Management Company by 2015.

magazine Asian Investor, reaffirming our unmatched brand capabilities, as Koreas leading asset management company. Although the global economy has recovered, there are still lingering market uncertainties due to the financial instability in the European economies, sluggish real estate markets, and growing concern over a possible rise in interest rates. In 2011, these uncertainties are projected to affect the funds market. The competition in the financial market is predicted to intensify with asset management agencies jumping in with an alternative product, advisory wrap accounts.

As of the end of 2010, the Division holds a total AUM of KRW 2 trillion.

Review of Operation

Prepared for the emerging retirement pension market to secure investors retirement
For several years, Samsung Asset Management has been exhaustively preparing to enter the retirement pension fund market, and is ready to grow as the leader of this fast-growing market. With advanced techniques to develop products to secure the retirement life of its clients and designed to allow differentiated customer service, the company will soon hold the reputation as Koreas top asset management company in the retirement pension fund market. In order to diversify the DC-concentrated market structure, the company cooperated with major sales companies to help clients redesign their portfolio, and provide them with wealth management training. As for the corporate clients who chose the DB plan, the company offered to craft their portfolios with structured, low volatility products. Committed to a secure retirement life for its clients through successful management of their pension funds, Samsung Asset Management will continue to develop and provide innovative products and services based on solid client and market research, as well as through sustained client communication.

The industrys best compliance audit organization operates a strict compliance monitoring system.
Client trust and confidence is the basis of the companys business. Operating compliance supervisory system began well before such monitoring became mandatory. In order to encourage a self-regulated corporate culture, the control self-assessment system, to assist employees with regular self-checks of their compliance with legal and the internal control standards was adopted. In addition, systematic monitoring systems to all potential risks associated with each stage from initial planning to the final launch, through to the management of each product are applied. Strict controls and a comprehensive monitoring system also prevent the provision of misleading information to the client. In the process of investing and managing clients asset portfolios, a three-step monitoring system, encompassing the pre-, realtime, and post-investment to prevent violations of bylaws, fiduciary duties or internal guidelines is applied.

Customer Satisfaction

Differentiated Services Realizes Customer Satisfaction

All business activities at Samsung Asset Management originate from commitment to customer value. Customer needs are consistently studied and reflected to satisfy customers beyond their expectations.

Review of Operation

Investment Briefing with Music

Departing from the formal, conventional format of investment reports, Samsung Asset Management briefs clients on its performances with classical music played by first-class performers. The Investment Briefing with Classical Music has been held every two months, since March of 2010. The first part presents the Market outlook and investment information, followed by classical music played by firstclass musicians. This unique combination of information and artistic performance appeals to clients aesthetic taste, as well as their need for useful information.

Reader-Friendly Fund Management Reports

Fund management reports contain essential information for clients. Nevertheless, they are notoriously full of financial jargon, which clients can find hard to understand as laymen to the industry. Therefore, Samsung Asset Management has recently set new guidelines for the language used in the management reports distributed to the client, a first in the industry, making it easier for readers to understand the content.

Services for Children

Children are also clients, and will grow into future clients. Therefore, an assortment of services for the kids is offered, especially for the Samsung Kids Fund clients. A group of families, selected by lottery, among the Samsung Kids Fund clients are invited to Family English Camp programs, where they can have a fun time playing games and participating in recreation activities in English. The Story Telling Classical Concert comes with commentary and gives children the opportunity to play musical instruments. The Samsung Kids Volunteer Corps offers children the chance to volunteer to visit and help the underprivileged. The blog, Samsung Kids Play & Study (kids.samsungfund. com), offers various educational and entertainment content exclusively for kids, such as essay-writing, Chinese Characters, English learning, economics comic e-books, and animations, as well as useful information for parents about wealth management and fund investment.

INTERNAL ACCOUNTING CONTROL SYSTEM REVIEW REPORT

English Translation of a Report Originally Issued in Korean Financial Statements

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Samsung Asset Management Co., Ltd.:
We have audited the accompanying statements of financial position of Samsung Asset Management Co., Ltd. (the Company) as of March 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related statements of income, appropriations of retained earnings, changes in shareholders equity and cash flows for the years then ended, all expressed in Korean won. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of Korea. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of its operations, changes in its retained earnings and its shareholders equity, and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of Korea (see Note 2). Accounting principles and auditing standards and their application in practice vary among countries. The accompanying financial statements are not intended to present the financial position, results of operations, changes in shareholders equity and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles and practices generally accepted in countries other than the Republic of Korea. In addition, the procedures and practices utilized in the Republic of Korea to audit such financial statements may differ from those generally accepted and applied in other countries. Accordingly, this report and the accompanying financial statements are for use by those knowledgeable about Korean accounting procedures and auditing standards and their application in practice. Deloitte Anjin LLC

To the Chief Executive Officer of Samsung Asset Management Co., Ltd.:

We have reviewed the report of managements assessment of internal accounting control system (IACS) of Samsung Asset Management Co., Ltd. (the Company), as of March 31, 2011. In accordance with Article 2-2 of the Act on External Audit for Stock Companies (the External Audit Law) of the Republic of Korea, the Companys management is responsible for assessing the design and operations of its IACS. Our responsibility is to review managements assessment and issue a report based on our review. The Companys management stated in the managements report that based on the assessment of the IACS as of March 31, 2011, the Companys IACS has been appropriately designed and is operating effectively as of March 31, 2011, in all material aspects, in accordance with the IACS Framework. We conducted our review in accordance with the IACS Review Standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform a review, the objective of which is to obtain a lower level of assurance than an audit, of the managements report in all material respects. A review includes obtaining an understanding of the Companys IACS and making inquiries regarding the managements report and, when deemed necessary, performing a limited inspection of underlying documents and other limited procedures. With the Companys status as an unlisted mid-sized company, the IACS management report regarding the operating effectiveness of the IACS can be prepared in a less strict manner in accordance with Chapter 5 of the IACS Framework - Applications to Mid-sized Companies. Therefore, we have performed the review in accordance with the IACS Review Standards No. 14 - Review of Mid-sized Companies. The Companys IACS represents internal accounting policies and a system to manage and operate such policies to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial statements prepared, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of Korea, for the purpose of preparing and disclosing reliable accounting information. Because of its inherent limitations, IACS may not prevent or detect a material misstatement of the financial statements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness of IACS to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Based on our review, no material weakness in the design or operations of the Companys IACS under Chapter 5 of the IACS Framework Applications to Mid-sized Companies has come to our attention. This report applies to the Companys IACS in existence as of March 31, 2011. We did not review the Companys IACS subsequent to March May 20, 2011 31, 2011. This report has been prepared for Korean regulatory purposes, pursuant to the External Audit Law, and may not be appropriate for other purposes or for other users. Deloitte Anjin LLC

This report is annexed in relation to the audit of the financial statements as of March 31, 2011, and the review of internal accounting control system pursuant to Article 2-3 of the Act on External Audit for Stock Companies of the Republic of Korea.
