NH Investment & Securities said on the 29th that, powered by balanced growth across its core businesses including retail, investment banking (IB), wholesale, asset management, and outsourced chief investment officer (OCIO), it posted 1.4206 trillion won in operating profit and 1.0315 trillion won in net profit last year. This is the highest performance since its founding.
Operating profit and net profit last year rose 57.7% and 50.2%, respectively, from a year earlier. NH Investment & Securities emphasized that it achieved balanced growth across all business areas and built a well-balanced revenue portfolio.
Building on last year's results, the company set a mid- to long-term goal of establishing a "sustainably achievable return on equity (ROE) of 12%" by 2028. To that end, this year it plans to strengthen the organic links among the retail, IB, and asset management divisions, and to raise its business competitiveness through efficient capital deployment and artificial intelligence (AI) innovation.
