Kyobo Securities said on the 21st that it opened the Premier Gold Daechi Center, a VIP specialized branch for high-net-worth (HNW) clients, to step up wealth management.

Premier Gold Daechi Center is Kyobo Securities' first premium branch, located in Daechi-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, a district with a high concentration of wealthy clients. The company said the opening of the Daechi Center focuses not just on selling products but on providing tailored wealth management solutions that meet the diversified needs of high-net-worth clients amid a rapidly changing financial environment.

At the center, a dedicated advisory team of sector specialists—covering asset allocation, tax, and foundation consulting—runs the customized wealth management program WCP (Wealth Care Program). Through this, it provides structured consulting that takes into account the client's asset structure and investment objectives.

In particular, the high-end tax service will support professional solutions for complex tax issues such as inheritance and gift structure design, overseas asset tax-saving strategies, and capital gains tax consulting for large shareholders. It will also strengthen premier wealth management services such as pension asset consulting and IR advisory for listed-company clients.

It also plans to present opportunities to invest in IB deals that retail investors find difficult to access, through collaboration with the headquarters' IB division.

The space is also designed with client privacy and consultation quality in mind. Equipped with dedicated rooms for in-depth consultations and a seminar area, it will serve as a multifunctional venue for client communication as well as wealth management.

Using the Daechi Center as a hub, Kyobo Securities plans to regularly run culture programs that reflect client lifestyles—such as wine, art, and golf—along with investment and market seminars, to continuously expand client touchpoints.

Cho Seong-ho, head of wealth management at Kyobo Securities, said, "Starting with the Gangnam area, we will expand Premier Gold branches in key hubs to strengthen our differentiated wealth management brand value."
