Abstract

In December 2020, the Fair Trade Act related to South Korea's separation of industrial capital was amended, and it was announced that the amendments would come into effect one year later, on December 30, 2021. The amendment's content involved breaking the previous principle of separating industrial capital from financial market penetration, allowing for the ownership of shares in general holding companies, small business startup investment companies, and technology business finance specialist companies. While the previous law was based on total issued shares' ownership, there were fluctuations in the subsequent trends of annual establishment and investment counts, as well as strategic investment counts of CVC (Corporate Venture Capital) before and after the law's amendment. CVC and IVC (Independent Venture Capital) are characterized differently based on their investment purposes, fund management types, and investment types. In this regard, the relaxation of the separation of industrial capital law is expected to have a positive impact on the future of the venture investment ecosystem and innovation ecosystem. In this study, we analyze the trends in the establishment count, investment count, and strategic investment count of domestic CVC from 2018, before the law amendment, to May 2023. Using 2021, the year the amended separation of industrial capital law was implemented, as a reference point, we examine changes in the trend. The analysis results indicate a significant increase in domestic CVC in 2021 compared to the previous year, along with an increase in investment counts, strategic investment counts, and the amount of investment in strategic investments. Based on these findings, this study suggests directions for further research related to future domestic CVC investment, strategic investment, and the activation of the venture investment market.

2020년 12월, 한국의 금산분리 원칙과 관련한 공정거래법이 개정되고 이를 1년 뒤인 2021년 12월 30일부터 시행한다는 정부의 발표가 있었다. 개정의 내용은 과거 금산분리의 대원칙이었던 산업자본의 금융시장 침투 금지 기조를 깨고 '일반지주회사의 중소기업창업투자회사와 신기술사업금융전문회사 주식의 소유 가능'이었다. 이 개정 법의 전제는 발행주식 총수의 소유이었지만, 법 개정 전후로 CVC(Corporate Venture Capital; 기업주도형 벤처캐피탈)의 연간 설립 건수와 투자 건수, 전략적 투자 건수 등의 추이에 변동이 있었다. CVC와 IVC(Independent Venture Capital; 독립 벤처캐피탈)는 투자 목적, 펀드 운용 유형, 투자 유형에 따라 그 특징이 구분되는데, 이 부분에서 금산분리법의 완화는 향후 벤처투자생태계와 혁신생태계의 활성화에 긍정적인 영향을 줄 수 있다고 기대된다. 본 연구에서는 법 개정 전인 2018년부터 법 개정 이후 2023년 5월까지 국내 CVC의 설립 건수, 투자 건수, 전략적 투자건수의 추이를 분석하여, 개정 금산분리법이 시행되었던 2021년을 기준으로 추이의 변화를 살펴보았다. 분석의 결과, 국내 CVC는 2021년에 전년대비 큰 폭으로 증가했으며, 투자건수와 전략적 투자건수, 전략적 투자의 투자금액 또한 과거에 비해 증가했음을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구는 이러한 결과를 토대로 향후 국내 CVC 투자와 전략적 투자, 벤처투자시장 활성화 등과 관련한 추가적인 연구의 방향을 제시한다.
