Shinhan Financial Investment "Customer Protection and Digital Enhancement"

Establishment of the Financial Consumer Protection Headquarters and Strengthening of the Overseas Investment Finance Sector

[Asia Economy Reporter Minwoo Lee] Shinhan Financial Investment is strengthening customer protection and actively enhancing its overseas investment division. It established the Financial Consumer Protection Headquarters and further specialized the Global Investment Banking (GIB) division by subdividing it.

Shinhan Financial Investment announced on the 2nd that it carried out an organizational restructuring and regular personnel appointments on the 30th of last month for these purposes.

One of Shinhan Financial Investment's strategic keywords for next year is 'consumer protection.' It established the Financial Consumer Protection Headquarters and appointed a Chief Consumer Officer (CCO). The Product Supervision Team, which was launched in October as the first of its kind in the securities industry, was promoted to the Product Supervision Department. This appears to be in response to the recent controversy surrounding allegations of involvement in the Lime Asset Management Ponzi (multi-level financial fraud) scandal.

Detailed adjustments were also made to strengthen expertise in each business area. To focus on corporate finance, the Alternative Investment 2 Headquarters and IPO 2 Department were newly established within the GIB (Global Investment Banking) Group, and the Syndication Team was promoted to a department. The Equity Headquarters of the GMS (Investment Management Business) Group was renamed the GIS (Global Investment and Solutions) Headquarters, and the FICC (Foreign Exchange, Bonds, Commodities) Headquarters was expanded into Operations and Sales Headquarters to enhance specialization.

The digital division is also being strengthened. The Digital Planning Team was promoted to the Digital Planning Department to promote overall digital asset management and strengthen partnerships with platform companies. The Platform BIZ Department and Platform Development Department were newly established. Additionally, to enhance information and communication technology (ICT) capabilities and promote company-wide digital transformation, the ICT Strategy Department and DT Promotion Team were newly launched.

Furthermore, through internal talent appointments such as Geum Seong-won as head of FICC Operations Headquarters, Ahn Seok-cheol as head of GIS Headquarters, and Yoon Chang-yong as head of the Research Center, the principle of meritocracy was clearly established. In particular, by appointing Yoon, the youngest in the industry, as center head, the company aims to revitalize the organization and pursue bold generational change. The detailed personnel appointments are as follows.
