Shinhan Financial Group announced on July 12 that Chairman of the Board Sookeun Kwak visited Edinburgh and London in the United Kingdom for five days starting from July 6 to hold an investor relations (IR) event.

This IR event is part of board-led activities aimed at facilitating communication with global investors, which Shinhan Financial Group is actively pursuing. In Edinburgh and London, the company met with major institutional investors, including ClearBridge Investments under Franklin Templeton and Pictet Asset Management, to share perspectives on key issues in the domestic and international economic environment as well as the financial industry. The company also explained the progress of its mid- to long-term growth strategies and plans to enhance corporate value.

In addition, meetings were held in London with officials from the International Corporate Governance Network (ICGN). During these meetings, discussions centered around changes in the global governance landscape, the expectations of investors, and the role of the board in creating long-term corporate value.

Chairman Kwak stated, "Direct communication with global investors is a crucial process to understand market expectations and demands, as well as to further develop strategies for enhancing corporate value. The Board of Directors at Shinhan Financial Group will continue to make responsible decisions based on independence and expertise, while consistently advancing our governance system to meet global standards."

Since last year, the Board of Directors at Shinhan Financial Group has been holding overseas IR events on a regular basis. The company is also engaging with investors through activities such as sending shareholder letters and hosting board roundtables.
