Korean Private Equity Funds Turn Cautious on AI-Semiconductor Investments Amid Valuation Concerns

According to Herald Biz, Korean private equity fund managers are adopting a more cautious stance on AI and semiconductor sector investments, citing overvaluation concerns and uncertainty over exit timing. Despite strong interest in the sector, PEF operators cite growing valuation gaps between sellers' asking prices and buyers' willingness to pay, combined with risks of timing a cyclical peak. Rather than pursuing full company buyouts, funds are increasingly shifting toward minority stake investments in pre-IPO or early-stage companies, such as Rebellion AI and Furiosa AI, to selectively capture growth while limiting exposure to execution risk.
