KB Securities Expected to Arrange Approximately 800 Billion KRW in Overseas Acquisition Financing This Year View original image

According to KB Securities, despite the challenging market environment caused by overlapping adverse factors such as the global financial market downturn, liquidity crunch, and geopolitical risks, the company successfully arranged about KRW 850 billion and KRW 800 billion in 2022 and 2023 respectively, marking approximately 6.6 times growth compared to 2021 when it officially began overseas acquisition financing arrangements.


This growth is attributed to KB Securities’ unique overseas acquisition financing deal sourcing and risk management strategies. First, KB Securities established direct networks with global investment banks (IB) and private equity firms (PE), securing a robust deal sourcing channel. In particular, under the leadership of the KB Securities Advisory Division, the Alternative Finance Division and Global Business Division collaborated to source deals directly from global PE firms as acquisition entities, successfully diversifying deal sourcing channels beyond reliance on existing overseas IBs.


Additionally, to maintain a solid market position within stable sectors, KB Securities focused on arranging high-quality deals involving leading global PE participants to prepare for market volatility. Furthermore, based on strong company fundamentals, it selectively proceeded with acquisition financing deals for companies that consistently deliver steady performance even during economic downturns, and implemented systematic risk management through close post-arrangement monitoring.



Based on these strategies, KB Securities plans to continue expanding its global network, continuously monitor global market trends and domestic investors’ investment conditions, and expand its overseas acquisition financing arrangement business, thereby further strengthening its solid position in the global market.
