[Asia Economy Reporter Kwon Jae-hee] On the 6th, KB Securities announced on the 7th that it signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to support overseas academic activities with the Korea Finance Association, the Korea Derivatives Association, and the Korea Securities Association at the KB Securities headquarters in Yeouido, Seoul.

Through this agreement, KB Securities plans to grasp the latest global research achievements and trends in finance, investment, and fund entrusted management, and apply them to each business sector to establish a model case of industry-academic cooperation.

At the signing ceremony, KB Securities CEOs Park Jeong-rim and Kim Seong-hyun said, "KB Securities will support academia to promote more active global activities and strive to apply the research results to the securities industry."

Earlier in September, KB Securities established the OCIO Solutions Headquarters to secure core competitiveness in Outsourced Chief Investment Officer (OCIO) management and respond to the expanding market. It is expected that the results of industry-academic cooperation will be applied to the OCIO business sector to improve services such as asset allocation, management, and risk management for pension funds and clients. Additionally, it is anticipated that these can be applied to asset management and risk management fields within the KB Financial Group.

Kim Seong-hee, Executive Director of KB Securities OCIO Solutions Headquarters, said, "If we confirm global finance-related topics, asset allocation, and risk management methods through academic activities and apply them to the actual OCIO business, KB Securities' OCIO solution capabilities can be elevated to the next level."
