“In order to make room in the portfolio for AEL, MIM sold its remaining stake in the large Korean bank, KB Financial Group (KB). While MIM’s final sale of KB at $38.50 looks uninspiring (small gain or loss depending on entry date), it had sold about half of the position near $60 in late December 2017 into January 2018 (as it neared MIM’s estimate of fair value). Whilst MIM still thinks significant upside in KB remains, there is a more attractive risk/ reward in AEL.”
