CEO Message

Sincerely thank our shareholders and customers
for your continued support and interest in Kiwoom Securities
On behalf of Kiwoom Securities, I wish to express sincere gratitude toward our shareholders and customers. Since May 2000, Kiwoom became the pioneer of online brokerage and has shown remarkable growth thanks to your support.

It is remarkable that Kiwoom maintains its leading position with the largest market share by far for 20 consecutive years since 2005 as well as industry leading ROE.

Kiwoom has also proven to achieve highest per capita productivity while maintaining a cost-efficient business model. Supported by such strong momentum for continuous growth, Kiwoom sets new paradigm despite recent volatility in the financial market.

However, the aftermath of the global financial crisis continues to disturb the industry. We strive to achieve the following to deliver consistent growth and to protect our shareholders benefit.

1st, Thrive to generate sustainable profits

Entire Kiwoom Finance Group will improve qualitatively and quantitatively to attain highest ROE in the industry. We will continuously seek new profit generators while maintaining our cost-efficient structure. Alongside with promoting efficiency, we will protect our customers, abide by the privacy policy and practice ethical management.

2st, Stretch out new businesses to always move forward

Kiwoom will actively seek opportunity in fast growing emerging markets and sophisticated developed markets. We will solidify our nonpareil power in retail brokerage but also strengthen traditional businesses like investment banking for a balanced growth.

3st, Demonstrate commitment toexceptional services

We will be more attentive to our customers to provide the best and needed service a step ahead. As the main sponsor of professional baseball club Kiwoom Heroes, Kiwoom will build a close relationship with customers.

Everyone at Kiwoom will not be complacent but always strive for a better Kiwoom. We will not condone any form of corruption and will practice transparent management of the company. We ask for your continued trust and support upon us.
Thank You.
