[2023 Capital Investment Awards] Daishin Securities, 'IPO·M&A' Growth Path... "Strengthening IB House Position"

IB Division Korea Exchange Chairman's Award

Daishin Securities won the Korea Exchange Chairman's Award in the Investment Banking (IB) category at the '2023 Asia Capital Investment Awards.'

This year, Daishin Securities led a total of 11 public offerings (including SPACs) in the Initial Public Offering (IPO) sector. It was recognized for contributing to excellent corporate growth and revitalizing the capital market by managing listings of innovative venture companies with advanced technology, such as Samgi EV and Smart Radar System. Notably, last year, it was selected as an 'Outstanding KOSDAQ IB' by the Korea Exchange, a unique achievement for a securities firm that is not a domestic mega IB. Daishin Securities plans to actively promote IPO underwriting next year to continuously discover companies with both technological excellence and business viability and help them successfully go public.

Daishin Securities also achieved significant results in the Equity Capital Market (ECM) sector. It successfully executed lead underwriting for public offerings such as Hanwha Ocean's rights issue (KRW 1.4971 trillion) and DNT's rights issue (KRW 121.5 billion). In the direct financing market, despite the challenging environment of sustained high interest rates, it successfully facilitated funding of KRW 220.5 billion for seven companies.

The firm also provides advisory services for mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and corporate governance restructuring. Beyond simple consulting, it offers comprehensive consulting tailored to issuers' needs, including management efficiency improvements due to the expansion and diversification of small and medium-sized and mid-sized groups, as well as long-term succession planning.

Since the establishment of the New Technology Finance Division in 2021, Daishin Securities has achieved a cumulative Assets Under Management (AUM) of KRW 913.6 billion. Last year, it was selected as a co-asset manager in the Korea Growth Investment Corporation's equity 'KONEX Scale-up Fund' investment project, and in June this year, it expanded its management scope to 34 project funds and blind funds by launching a listed company mezzanine blind fund.

A Daishin Securities representative said, "We will solidify our position as the most trusted IB house in the domestic IB industry."
