[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Jung-yoon] Shinhan Financial Investment announced on the 18th that it will sell its headquarters building located in Yeouido to Aegis Asset Management for 639.5 billion KRW. The sale is expected to be completed by the end of July.
Shinhan Financial Investment plans to use all the cash inflow from the sale as operating capital. As of the end of March, Shinhan Financial Investment's consolidated equity capital stood at 5.0164 trillion KRW. Reflecting the capital gains from the sale, the consolidated equity capital is expected to increase to the mid-5 trillion KRW range.
Shinhan Financial Investment confirmed that it will adopt a "sale and leaseback" method, continuing to lease and use the current headquarters after the sale. This decision was made after considering the financial environment, real estate regulatory trends, and supply and demand forecasts for the Yeouido Business District (YBD).
Shinhan Financial Investment explained that the increased capital from the building sale will enable new revenue generation across various business divisions such as corporate finance (IB), retail, wealth management (WM), and digital. Additionally, securing resources to invest in new growth engines allows for bold investments amid increased volatility in the financial markets.
