[Asia Economy Reporter Minwoo Lee] Kim Seong-hyun and Park Jeong-rim, co-CEOs of KB Securities, urged employees to focus on strengthening customer-centric investment solutions as the new year begins.

KB Securities announced on the 3rd that the two CEOs delivered a New Year's message containing this content. They set this year's management strategy direction as "advancing business-specific sales models centered on investment solution capabilities and strategically expanding digital and platform businesses." They also presented five key strategic tasks to implement this.

First, they emphasized advancing business-specific sales models centered on investment solution capabilities. CEO Kim said, "The capability to provide investment solutions is a core competency that meets the demands of customers who want to increase their wealth across all sectors, including Wealth Management (WM), Sales and Trading (S&T), Investment Banking (IB), and Institutional Sales. The company will spare no effort in building infrastructure such as systems and work processes to enable employees to focus on customers, and I ask employees to broaden their understanding of customers, cultivate expertise in products and markets, and enhance their competitiveness."

He also strongly emphasized strengthening investment and asset management business capabilities. For capital utilization businesses, he urged enhancing investment capabilities through investment strategies, asset diversification, and the use of various means, as well as actively making early investments in growth companies and maximizing capital efficiency by promoting the sale of previously invested assets.

Strengthening overseas business capabilities was also actively emphasized. The plan is to enhance local corporation business capabilities in emerging markets and expand customers by improving IT systems and utilizing digital platforms. He also urged steady collaboration in developed markets to increase profits. Additionally, he encouraged efforts toward future finance centered on digital and platforms, as well as ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management.

CEO Park stated, "Above all, let us work with a customer-centric approach while continuously challenging and innovating KB Securities. To achieve this, I hope everyone will communicate with each other and increase execution power through inter-organizational collaboration."
