Investment Strategies for the Post-War Era by Nine Investment Masters

Summary

Park Se-ik and guest editorial writer Han Sang-chun discuss the post-war investment strategies from their new book. They explain why war initially creates panic selling but ultimately fuels stock rallies through central bank easing and reconstruction demand. Park highlights buying innovative growth stocks during crises and Korean construction and defense sectors for post-war booms, while Han cautions against chasing already-expensive large-cap tech.

• War triggers central bank rate cuts and liquidity, making growth stocks attractive.
• Post-war reconstruction demand drives Korean construction stocks, especially in the Middle East.
• Defense spending often rises after wars, sustaining defense stock opportunities.
• Innovative companies like Tesla and Korean battery plays outperform during crises.
• Han Sang-chun warns that Samsung Electronics and SK hynix are now rich after their rally.
• A recently listed space stock is avoided due to unrealistic ambitions.
• The book presents diverse views, blending optimism with cautious risk management.
