Hanhwa Investment & Securities Launches Retirement Pension Mobile App 'my Yeongeum'

[Asia Economy Reporter Ji Yeon-jin] Korea Investment & Securities, a subsidiary of Korea Financial Group (CEO Jeong Il-moon), announced on the 14th that it has launched the retirement pension mobile app 'myYeongeum'.

myYeongeum is a complete overhaul of the existing retirement pension dedicated app ‘eFriend Smart Yeongeum’. As customer interest in pension asset management has surged, the app’s user interface and experience (UI/UX) have been improved overall, and convenience related to product trading has been enhanced. The app has significantly simplified the menu system from the login stage through product inquiry and trading. In particular, it optimizes user flow by allowing immediate access from the home screen to trading screens for financial products such as ETFs, REITs, funds, and principal-guaranteed products.

The functions for checking financial product prices and recommending products have been strengthened. Price information such as quotes and charts can be viewed at a glance on the trading screen, and financial products can be searched based on various indicators such as recent returns, trading volume, and holdings.

myYeongeum also incorporates ‘KISRA’, a robo-advisor developed in-house by Korea Investment & Securities. KISRA is based on a ‘Core-Satellite’ strategy that primarily tracks market returns while investing some funds in various active assets to pursue excess returns, designing portfolios tailored to each investor’s risk profile.

Hong Deok-gyu, Head of the Retirement Pension Division, said, “We hope customers can manage their retirement pension assets more conveniently using the myYeongeum app,” adding, “We will strive to provide differentiated retirement pension services in line with the introduction of the default option.”
