In mid‑July 2026, KB Financial Group introduced its first major venture fund, the KB AX Digital Asset Fund, with a capital base of 1 trillion South Korean won. Targeted at early‑stage companies in the domestic digital‑asset market and AI‑related technologies, the fund aims to build a digital‑asset ecosystem and accelerate the group’s AI transformation. A week later, the group announced a larger Unicorn Scale‑up Fund worth 1.5 trillion won. This fund broadens the focus to high‑growth “unicorn” firms in artificial intelligence, semiconductors, secondary batteries, aerospace, mobility, robotics and biotechnology, and is intended to complement policy‑finance projects and expand financing for advanced‑technology sectors. Together, the two launches illustrate KB Financial’s rapid scaling of investment vehicles and a shift from a narrow digital‑asset focus toward a wider portfolio of advanced‑technology industries. ## Timeline ### 2026-07-27: KB Financial Group launches 1500‑billion‑won Unicorn fund for AI, semiconductors and other advanced industries KB Financial Group created a 1500‑billion‑won Unicorn fund to back AI, semiconductors and other high‑tech unicorns, managed by KB Securities and tied to the group’s new advanced‑industry financing strategy. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/kb-financial-group-launches-1500billionwon-unicorn-fund-for-ai-semiconductors-and-other-advanced-ind ### 2026-07-16: KB Financial Group launches 1‑trillion‑won digital asset and AI fund KB Financial Group created a 1‑trillion‑won KB AX Digital Asset Fund to invest in early‑stage digital‑asset and AI firms, aiming to build a domestic ecosystem and accelerate its AI transformation. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/kb-financial-group-launches-100-billionwon-digitalasset-and-ai-fund --- Cite as: KB Financial Group fund launches.
