[Alpha Biz=(Chicago) Reporter Kim Jisun] The Ministry of Health and Welfare has begun disciplinary procedures for Mirae Asset Venture Investment, which gave up its qualification as a K-bio and fund operator (GP). It will impose penalties on GP returns, including a plan to limit the eligibility of government-funded projects over the next year.

Mirae Asset Venture Investment was previously selected as a consignment management company for K-Bio and Fund, but recently decided to return GP qualifications after struggling to raise funds. Critics in the investment industry say the government's plan to form a bio-industry fund lacks a sense of market reality.

According to the Ministry of Health and Welfare on the 29th, the Ministry of Health and Welfare is discussing the level of disciplinary action against Mirae Asset Venture, which has returned its K-bio and vaccine fund GP qualification. The penalty will be imposed after the final decision on the level of sanctions after internal discussions. The sanctions plan is expected to be decided at the level of limiting the eligibility to support government-invested projects over the next year.

"The issue is an issue that can be sanctioned, and Mirae Asset Venture will decide on the level of disciplinary action, including restrictions on its qualifications for government-invested projects for one year," a ministry official said. "It has yet to be decided on the recruitment of new operators, and it is an issue that needs to be discussed in the future."
