On the 9th, Kiwoom Securities announced that it has reorganized its structure to strengthen crisis management capabilities and discover future growth engines. This is the first organizational restructuring since the inauguration of the new CEO Um Ju-seong on the 8th.

To enhance management capabilities for overcoming complex crises, Kiwoom Securities promoted the existing company-wide Risk Management Task Force (TF) to a team and established a new Retail Biz Analysis Team. Additionally, an Audit Planning Team was created within the Audit Operations Headquarters to establish a triple control system across operations, risk, and audit divisions.

For integrated management of subsidiary risks and internal controls, a Group Risk Management Team was established, along with an ESG Promotion Team to accumulate intangible assets such as social contribution and corporate culture. To discover future growth engines, an AIX Team was created to promote company-wide digital transformation utilizing artificial intelligence (AI).

After completing the organizational restructuring, Kiwoom Securities plans to solidify its position as a financial investment platform aimed at increasing customer assets, maintaining its status as the retail market leader with the highest stock market share for 19 consecutive years (based on KOSCOM data).

Um Ju-seong, CEO of Kiwoom Securities, stated, "Based on IT technological transformation, we will lead differentiated services for individual investors and grow into a company that enhances the value of shareholders, customers, employees, and all stakeholders."
