Kiwoom Securities Holds Launching Ceremony for 5th Cohort of High School Financial and Economic Mentoring Program "Kiwoom Dreamer"

Financial and Economic Mentoring for Gen Z
"Fostering Sound Investment Values"

Kiwoom Securities announced that it held the launching ceremony for the 5th cohort of the "Kiwoom Dreamer" program at its headquarters in Yeouido, Seoul on the 11th.

Kiwoom Dreamer is a financial and economic education mentoring program for high school students run together with UIC (the National University Student Investment Club Association), with the goal of providing "sound financial and economic education." It was launched in 2024 as part of ESG (environmental, social, and governance) initiatives. The program supports high school students, who will be the main economic players of the future, by delivering accurate economic and financial knowledge so they can build sound investment values.

So far, about 260 people in total (including both mentors and mentees) have participated at schools such as Soongui Girls' High School, Incheon Foreign Language High School, Seoul High School, Gyeongseong High School, Hakik High School, and Yeokgok High School, as well as Gwangju Jeil High School in Gwangju and Namseong Girls' High School in Busan.

The 5th Kiwoom Dreamer cohort will hold offline classes once a month for about four months at Seoul Convention High School, Yongho High School in Gunpo, Jeonil High School in Jeonju, and Daedong High School in Busan. The program will offer in-person classes and online mentoring with a curriculum tailored to the students' level, covering topics such as the right mindset for financial freedom and learning about major companies in key sectors. There will also be events where participating high school students (mentees) visit the universities of their mentors.

As part of its ESG activities under the banner of "financial and economic education," Kiwoom Securities not only ran the "Kiwoom Dreamer" program last year, but also collaborated with EBS to produce a financial and economic video content series titled "Pengsoo, Let's Go to School!" The series was also published as a book, contributing to improving financial literacy among teenagers.

In addition, to foster future finance professionals, the company is taking the lead in financial and economic education for the Gen Z generation by operating the "Kiwoom Digital Academy."

A Kiwoom Securities official said, "We will continue to spare no effort in supporting teenagers so that they can improve their financial literacy and grow into future talents."
