State-backed AI fund draws cooler demand in second offering amid loss concerns

A government-backed fund investing in emerging industries, including artificial intelligence, has seen less demand in its second offering compared to the first. This is likely due to concerns over losses suffered by the first fund, as well as revised subscription rules that exclude previous participants. The slower start to the second offering may impact the fund's ability to raise the 600 billion won it aims to collect, which could have implications for the broader market's confidence in investing in emerging technologies.

Why it matters
