NH Investment & Securities (005940.KS) has set out its core strategy, including an artificial-intelligence transformation, at its first company-wide management strategy meeting since shifting to a co-CEO structure.
Co-CEOs Shin Jae-wook and Bae Kwang-soo attended the "2026 Second-Half Leaders Conference" for all employees at the Conrad Hotel in Seoul's Yeouido on the 11th, where they discussed three key strategies: advancing the AI transformation, strengthening core business competitiveness, and expanding cross-unit business, according to the financial investment industry on the 12th. It was the first strategy meeting NH Investment held after moving from a single-CEO to a co-CEO structure on the 1st of last month.
Having pursued its AI transformation strategy and technology validation since the start of the year, NH Investment plans to begin developing AI agents and building a company-wide AI platform this month, focusing on priority business areas such as wealth management (WM), investment banking (IB) and corporate sales. The company also shared a roadmap to expand the AI transformation in earnest from the end of this year.
Both CEOs agreed that the firm should strengthen each division's competitiveness while expanding business that links the divisions. Bae said strengthening core business competitiveness is "the foundation for sustainable growth and the basic premise for expanding cross-unit business," while Shin stressed that the company "must actively expand cross-unit business that creates new revenue opportunities by linking capabilities and customer bases across businesses."
Shin currently oversees the IB and corporate sales units and the company-wide management division, while Bae heads the WM, digital and research divisions. The two CEOs made clear their policy of not stopping at simply creating synergies between divisions but seeking meaningful new business opportunities.
