As of November 2025, Shinhan Investment Corp. served as the lead manager for a total of 148 deals in the Debt Capital Market (DCM), including the 4th public offering bond of LG Energy Solution, the 7th public subordinated bond of Hyundai Marine & Fire Insurance, and the 1st public hybrid capital securities of DB Insurance. The total value of these deals reached 13 trillion won.

The company also achieved strong results in the Equity Capital Market (ECM). It acted as the sole lead manager for the IPO of SNC, and also managed the rights offering for Samsung SDI. Additionally, Shinhan Investment Corp. managed convertible bonds (CB) and bonds with warrants (BW) for L&F, Plan M, and WCP, recording a total ECM deal volume of 733.2 billion won as of November 2025.

The company also excelled in structured finance. Hanwha Solutions raised a total of 95 billion won based on accounts receivable from about 120 clients. Due to the low credit ratings of some clients, it was difficult for banks to participate through conventional means. However, by utilizing guarantee insurance to enhance credit, Shinhan Investment Corp. attracted investments from AAA-rated banks. In addition, it raised 305 billion won through a securitization structure using CJ Olive Young's lease deposit return claims as collateral.

Another notable achievement was the financing secured with Kyobo Life's management control shares as collateral. Starting with 220 billion won in February 2025, Shinhan Investment Corp. managed a total of 1.3 trillion won in funding for Kyobo Life through multiple stages. This enabled the company to facilitate the exit of key parties involved in major disputes and to structure deals that allowed Kyobo Life to secure a more advantageous position compared to the opposing parties.
