Shinhan Investment Corp. is accelerating its efforts to establish a "two-way global investment platform" that connects not only overseas investments by Korean investors but also Korean investments by foreign investors.

On September 15, Shinhan Investment Corp. announced that CEO Sunhoon Lee recently visited Japan, Hong Kong, and Vietnam to discuss ways to expand cooperation with major overseas financial institutions and capital market-related organizations.

This trip was organized to lay the foundation for collaboration in integrated accounts for foreign investors and the wealth management (WM) business, as well as to seek new business opportunities with partners in each country. Specifically, in Japan, he focused on business cooperation with securities companies; in Hong Kong, on integrated account and WM collaboration; and in Vietnam, on capital market cooperation and investor exchange.

First, in Tokyo, CEO Lee met with the management of Mizuho Securities and Rakuten Securities to discuss business expansion and cooperation plans. They explored possibilities for collaboration centered on areas where each company’s business infrastructure and strengths can be leveraged, seeking new business opportunities through their respective networks. In particular, Shinhan Investment Corp. and Mizuho Securities will work together by utilizing their research capabilities. Shinhan Investment Corp. also plans to actively introduce outstanding Korean and Japanese companies to institutional investors from both countries and globally, as well as provide tangible investment opportunities, through the "Mizuho Investment Conference," the largest global institutional investor conference in Japan.

In Hong Kong, a memorandum of understanding (MOU) was signed with CICC International to expand the integrated account service for foreign investors and the wealth management business. The aim is to enhance foreign investors’ access to the Korean capital market and broaden collaboration in the wealth management sector by leveraging both companies’ networks and financial service capabilities.

In Hanoi, Vietnam, CEO Lee held discussions with key figures from the State Securities Commission (SSC) and the Vietnam Exchange (VNX) to explore ways to expand capital market cooperation and investor exchange between the two countries. In meetings with Le Thi Viet Nga, Vice Chairman of the SSC, and Dang Thai Anh Trang, Vice President of VNX, they reviewed strategic directions to strengthen the connection between the two markets and expand mutual investment opportunities, including in the investment banking sector.

Through these efforts, Shinhan Investment Corp. aims to expand its business area from "overseas investments by Korean investors" to a bidirectional global business that also includes "Korean investments by overseas investors," leveraging its global network.

CEO Sunhoon Lee said, "This three-country trip was aimed at expanding our global business based on various topics such as foreign investor integrated accounts, wealth management, and capital market exchange," adding, "We will reinforce our competitiveness by becoming a two-way global financial platform that connects not only Korean investors’ overseas investments but also overseas investors’ investments in Korea."
