This growth is attributed to improved market conditions, leading to balanced growth across all sectors including investment banking (IB) operations and bond sales.

KTB Investment & Securities announced on the 16th that its consolidated sales for the third quarter reached 133.6 billion KRW, with an operating profit of 25.5 billion KRW.

Our subsidiary KTB Network achieved a pre-tax profit of 12.5 billion KRW in the third quarter due to high investment asset valuation gains from the listing of quality investment companies, and KTB Asset Management contributed to the strong performance by exceeding the cumulative results of the first half within the third quarter alone."
