KB Securities Holds Event to Celebrate Expansion of Investment in 'Autonomous Driving Services'

KB Securities announced on the 10th that it will hold the 'Investment Autonomous Driving On' event until the 30th to celebrate the addition of asset managers and the expansion of investment scope in its 'Autonomous Driving Service.'

The Autonomous Driving Service is a service that allows easy setup of robo-advisor investments based on the investment engines of asset managers partnered with KB Securities. When customers set it to 'On,' the robo-advisor invests automatically, and when set to 'Off,' robo-advisor investment stops, allowing customers to trade directly.

KB Securities added the robo-advisor specialist company Fount as an autonomous driving asset manager so that customers can choose asset managers according to market conditions. Through Fount, customers can invest in U.S. Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs), and through Fint, the investment scope has been expanded by newly adding U.S. stocks and U.S. ETF strategies to the existing strategy that only managed domestic ETFs.

The Autonomous Driving Service can be applied for through comprehensive brokerage accounts and pension savings accounts, with only one asset manager selectable per account. However, pension savings accounts can only be managed through Fint and are limited to investments in domestic ETFs. Since investment strategies, minimum investment amounts, and other factors vary depending on the autonomous driving asset manager, customers can consider the asset manager and strategy according to their investment preferences.

To commemorate the addition of autonomous driving asset managers and the expansion of investment targets, KB Securities is conducting the Investment Autonomous Driving On event until the end of November. The first event targets individual domestic customers who have not set autonomous driving to On as of October 27; customers who apply for the event and set autonomous driving to On during the event period will receive Shinsegae gift certificates up to 200,000 KRW, differentiated by investment amount. The second event targets customers who have autonomous driving On and an investment amount of 2 million KRW or more as of November 17, with prizes (robot vacuum cleaners, Shinsegae gift certificates) awarded by lottery.

Both events can be combined, and customers must maintain autonomous driving On and the investment amount until December 15 to receive benefits. When subscribing to the service with two or more accounts, the amounts are aggregated per customer for application.

KB Securities provides a total of three services for customers' asset management solutions, including the Autonomous Driving Service, 'KB Securities Direct Indexing,' and 'KB AI MOA.' Customers can choose the service that fits their investment style through these three services and receive benefits by participating in the event running until the end of November.

KB AI MOA is a goal-based return-seeking artificial intelligence (AI) investment wrap service. Customers who subscribe to the service by the end of November will receive Shinsegae gift certificates according to the subscription amount, and those who maintain the service subscription until December 15 will be entered into a lottery for prizes.

KB Securities Direct Indexing is a service that allows investors to lead and design stock portfolios suitable for their investment goals and preferences and manage their investments. Until the end of November, stock coupons ranging from 10,000 to 50,000 KRW will be given based on the cumulative returns of strategies under advisory contracts created for Korean or U.S. stock strategies. Additionally, if an advisory contract is signed with a strategy created during the event period and two or more orders are executed, a 50,000 KRW stock coupon will be provided. However, advisory contracts must be signed and balances maintained until December 28 for the event benefits to apply.

Ha Woo-sung, Head of the KB Securities Platform Division, said, "We have added asset managers to the Autonomous Driving Service and expanded the investment targets of existing autonomous driving asset managers from domestic to U.S. markets to provide customers with diverse investment options and assist in asset management." He added, "We expect customers to experience differentiated asset management solutions through KB Securities Direct Indexing, KB AI MOA, and the Autonomous Driving Service according to their investment methods."
