Kyungsun Chung is one of the grandsons of Chung Ju-yung, who started out with a car-repair shop in Seoul in the 1940s and built it into the Hyundai Group, South Korea’s second-largest conglomerate behind Samsung. With that family tree beneath him, the traditional and obvious career path for Kyungsun would have been to join the family business and remain within its folds. However, instead, he has dedicated his professional life to impact investing through The Sylvan Group, the Singapore-based private-equity firm he co-founded along with Scott Jeun in 2020. Here Kyungsun explains where he thinks his preference for “stakeholder capitalism” comes from and shares some insights into why he believes family businesses are often more resilient and sustainable.

In this interview, Monica talks us through how the foundation operates and explains how lessons from running a rapidly growing start-up helped to establish the foundation during the early weeks of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Is the US on track for a soft or hard landing? A harder landing next year is the most likely outcome, says Kevin Hassett, an economist who served as the 29th Chairman of the US President’s Council of Economic Advisors.
Excess savings, built up during the pandemic, are depleting and he expects geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and Ukraine to make people more risk averse, with businesses also holding back on capital spending next year in the run-up to the presidential election.
Kevin Hasset explains the economic forces driving the prospects for growth and inflation in the US going into 2024.
