Our Purpose

Dongwon Securities was established in 1968 as a subsidiary of Dongwon Group and quickly emerged as one of the top financial institutions through its securities brokerage, investment banking, and derivatives trading expertise. Korea Investment Trust Management & Securities launched in 1974 as the first investment trust company in Korea and grew with the development of its asset management and Korean fund sale operations. Both companies played crucial roles in the development of the Korean capital market and economy.

Korea Investment & Securities was created as a result of the 2005 merger between the two financial institutions, harnessing the strengths of each. While we have transformed over time, our values which got us here have not - with client service, employee appreciation, and commitment to value creation still at our core. As of March 31, 2024, our network has expanded from our Korean headquarters to 64 branches, 10 global entities, 2 global offices, and 2,814 employees. Having established ourselves through our asset management, commercial banking, and investment banking presence in South Korea, we aim to be one of Asia's leading financial institutions.
