Hanyang Securities reported a net profit of 21.1 billion won for the first quarter of this year on the 15th. This represents a 58% increase compared to the same period last year. Hanyang Securities noted that the annualized return on equity (ROE) was 16.3%, placing it among the top in the securities industry.
According to Hanyang Securities, the bond sector drove strong performance through strategic positioning amid increased interest rate volatility, while the investment banking (IB) sector continued to maintain stable results in representing underwriting and acquisition of debt securities and new capital securities. The real estate project financing (PF) sector achieved an increase in new transactions along with revenue growth, and the trading sector diversified its revenue sources through risk-free arbitrage and mezzanine valuation profits.
Hanyang Securities CEO Lim Jae-taek said, "What is more important than a rapidly running organization is having a structure that can survive until the end," and noted, "We will continue management that secures both profitability and long-term growth potential."
