B. Determination as to the claim against Defendant Myasset

1) Although Defendant Myasset is an asset management company of the instant investment trust as seen earlier, in full view of the following circumstances, it shall be deemed that Defendant Myasset agreed between the Plaintiff and Defendant Myasset that Defendant Myasset would not actually manage the instant investment trust property, but deposited it into the account of the Plaintiff, Defendant Myasset, and that the duty would be terminated. Unless there was an agreement between Defendant Myasset and Defendant Myasset on the fact that Defendant Myasset would not actually manage the instant investment trust property, it shall not be deemed that the Plaintiff bears the duty to explain the instant investment trust property, the duty to care of good managers, and the duty to protect investors.

① The Plaintiff had information on the instant development project and decided to make an investment in the said project upon receiving an explanation on the instant project and an investment recommendation from the Defendant on behalf of the Plaintiff. On the other hand, Defendant Myasset did not have information on the instant development project and did not make explanation and investment recommendation on the said project to the Plaintiff. However, due to the investment restriction under the Credit Unions Act, the Plaintiff was unable to purchase the beneficiary certificates of the “Special Assets Investment Trust” established on behalf of the Defendant for the instant ○○○○ Development Project, which was not legally invested in the instant ○○○○○ Development Project, and caused Defendant Myasset to acquire the instant investment trust certificates in the form of the instant real estate investment trust (the instant investment trust did not fall under the real estate investment trust, as seen earlier) by setting up the instant investment trust in the form of the instant ○○○○○ Development Project (the instant investment trust did not fall under the instant real estate investment trust) in lieu of the Plaintiff and the instant investment trust (the Plaintiff purchased the instant investment trust certificates in lieu of the Plaintiff’s beneficiary certificates in the form of the instant development project.

② Article 79 of the Credit Unions Act prohibits the National Credit Union Federation of Korea from purchasing beneficiary certificates of special asset investment trusts with funds, such as deposits and installment savings received from credit unions. This means that the National Credit Union Federation of Korea has the purpose of promoting the sound management of the funds by preventing the credit unions and their members from purchasing beneficiary certificates with a large amount of investment risk. Therefore, the Plaintiff shall not purchase beneficiary certificates of the Special Assets Investment Trust for the purpose of investing in ○○○○ Development Project of this case with a large investment risk or make investments in the instant ○○○ Development Project by using other by bypassing the investment restriction under the Credit Unions Act. Nevertheless, the Plaintiff decided to make investments in the instant ○○○○ Development Project in the instant case by excluding investment restriction under the Investment ○○○○○ Development Project, and for this purpose, Defendant Myasset established the instant investment trust in the form of real estate investment trust and made Defendant Myasset to deposit the investment trust properties in the instant development project of this case with Defendant Dhina v. 2 under the former Investment Trust Act.

2) In addition, there is no evidence to acknowledge that Defendant Myasset entrusted Defendant Myasset with the management of the instant investment trust property on behalf of the Defendant.

3) Therefore, without any need to examine the remainder, the Plaintiff’s claim against Defendant Myasset on the premise that Defendant Myasset bears the duty to explain the instant investment trust, the duty of due care of a good manager, the duty to protect investors, and the duty to protect investors against the Plaintiff, or that the management of the instant investment trust property was entrusted to Defendant on behalf of the Defendant.

C. Determination as to the claim against the defendant substitute

1) In full view of the following circumstances, the Defendant cannot be deemed an asset management company of the instant investment trust, and thus, the Plaintiff cannot be deemed to bear the duty to explain the Plaintiff as an asset management company of the instant investment trust, the duty of due care of a good manager, and the duty to protect investors.

① The Defendant may not establish the instant investment trust or issue its beneficiary certificates.

② Even if the Plaintiff decided to make an investment with the explanation of the instant ○○○ Development Project and the recommendation to make an investment therein, and the beneficiary certificates of the instant investment trust were purchased for this purpose, and considerable portion of the instant investment trust property was deposited in the account of the 2nd LLC controlled by the Defendant Substitute, such circumstance alone does not necessarily lead to an asset management company under the former Indirect Investment Asset Management Business Act with respect to the instant investment trust that was not created by the Defendant Substitute.

③ The Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act was enacted by Act No. 8635 on August 3, 2007 and enforced on February 4, 2009. Even if a simple investment solicitor, other than an asset management company of an investment trust, was made after the enforcement of the said Act, if a fiduciary relationship was created between investors through transactions, etc. in the past, it may be deemed that the relevant investor bears an obligation to explain and protect investors at the stage of investment recommendation (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2013Da217498, Jan. 29, 2015). However, on May 6, 2008 or around May 2008, the aforementioned Act was enforced, the Defendant did not only encourage the Plaintiff to make an investment in the Special Asset Investment Trust or the instant investment trust, but also did not bear an obligation to explain the relevant investor at the stage of investment recommendation as an investor’s duty to protect investors, etc. as well as at the stage of formation of a fiduciary relationship with the Plaintiff.

2) Therefore, without any reason to consider the remainder of the claims filed by the Plaintiff on behalf of the Defendant on the premise that the Defendant, as an asset management company of the instant investment trust, bears the duty of explanation, good manager’s duty of care, and the duty of investor protection, etc. against the Plaintiff as an asset management company of the instant investment trust, as well as the Plaintiff’s claim on behalf of the Defendant on the premise that the Plaintiff bears the duty of explanation, good manager’s duty of care, and the duty of investor protection, etc. ( even if the Plaintiff’s claim is not an asset management company of the instant investment trust on behalf of the Defendant, if the Plaintiff actively conducted deception in the course of making the
