KB Securities Implements Organizational Restructuring to Enhance Customer Value and Future Growth

Strengthening WM-Related Customer, Product, and Investment Solution Capabilities
Strategic Enhancement of Corporate Finance and Digital Business
Establishment of Dedicated ESG Research Team to Expand ESG Ecosystem

KB Securities announced on the 29th that it has carried out an organizational restructuring focused on strengthening organizational and business functions to enhance asset management (WM) customer value, expanding business competitiveness for future growth, and reinforcing an efficient organizational operation system.

To enhance customer value through meticulous asset management and a higher level of investment services for WM customers, a Customer Solutions Headquarters has been newly established. Under this, WM-related customer strategy, financial products, and investment service organizations have been integrated to provide customer-centric asset management services, strengthen customer return management, and expand capabilities to offer optimal products and solutions. Additionally, a dedicated customer asset risk management organization has been established within the Market Risk Department to strengthen customer asset risk management aimed at enhancing customer value, including monitoring customer returns.

Next, a major business promotion organization linked to mid- to long-term growth strategies has been newly established to strengthen future growth engines. To further solidify its leading market position in corporate finance (IB), the Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) and acquisition finance-related organizations have been expanded and reorganized. A related headquarters has also been established to strengthen the increasingly important syndication function. Furthermore, to enhance competitiveness in non-face-to-face and digital businesses, the Platform Headquarters has been expanded and reorganized into the Digital Business Headquarters, integrating digital strategy and data analysis functions. Through data-driven customer experience innovation based on non-face-to-face customer strategy and data analysis, the competitiveness of online asset management will be further strengthened.

Moreover, considering the uncertain management environment and to sustainably strengthen organizational capabilities, organizational integration based on business functions has been implemented to enhance operational efficiency. An ESG Research Team, a dedicated organization for ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) related research and advisory, has been newly established to provide ESG-related insights to corporate and institutional clients and to expand the ESG ecosystem.

A KB Securities official stated, "This organizational restructuring focuses on proactively responding to the changing financial market environment by enhancing WM customer value, fostering businesses for future growth, and strengthening an efficient organizational operation system." He added, "With this restructuring as an opportunity, KB Securities aims to prioritize customer value, further expand customer-centric asset management service capabilities, and strengthen its leading position as a securities firm committed to sustainable growth and social responsibility."
