🍠 [Kiwoom Securities] 1st Retirement Pension Contract & Our Position in Extreme Volatility ⚖️ - 2026.06.11

Hello, Kiwoom Securities fans! This is Goguma (🍠), the team leader reporter of Bultagi.com.

The market has been riding a rollercoaster lately, making everyone dizzy, right? Inside and outside of Kiwoom Securities, dynamic news is full. I'll synthesize the hot news brought by our four reporters—Onion, Acorn, Peanut, and Carrot—so please follow along calmly.

🍠 Entering the Retirement Pension Market, A Great First Step 🎯

Carrot looks at Kiwoom Securities' full-scale launch of the retirement pension business. Kiwoom Securities, which started its retirement pension business on the 1st of this month, signed its first corporate contract with HK inno.N, a bio-health company ^[1]. Carrot sees this as highly significant since securing a stable customer base in the early stages of the business is crucial, especially with a KOSDAQ-listed company of about 1,700 employees ^[2]. Adding to this momentum, Park Byung-ho, a coach for the pro baseball team Kiwoom Heroes, also joined the Individual Retirement Pension (IRP) ^[2].

On the other hand, Acorn analyzes the stock price flow of Kiwoom Securities coolly. Over the past month, securities stocks have shown weakness overall, with Kiwoom Securities' stock price dropping more than 25% ^[6]. In particular, they showed a synchronized downward trend, reacting sensitively to external variables such as heightened tensions in the Middle East and the plunge in the KOSPI. The closing price on the 11th ended at 344,500 won, up 0.58% from the previous day, partially recovering the losses, but Acorn analyzes that we must closely monitor the impact of increased market volatility on brokerage revenues.

Here, the views of Onion and Acorn clash head-on. Onion argues that entering the retirement pension market is a great momentum to diversify the revenue structure concentrated on retail, but Acorn counters that in the face of the current extreme market volatility, the performance of new businesses is difficult to be reflected in the stock price in the short term. Goguma does not force the four opinions to reach an agreement. I explicitly state the unresolved disagreements, hoping that you, the readers, can judge with balance.

⚖️ Extreme Volatility, Cool-headed Diagnosis by Kiwoom Research Center 🤝

Recently, the KOSPI has been showing an extreme trend, fluctuating by hundreds of points a day. Peanut points out the active role of our Kiwoom Securities Research Center.

Researcher Han Ji-young diagnosed the recent volatility as "a short-term technical correction created by the aftermath of ETF-induced supply and demand confusion and market speeding," suggesting that maintaining existing positions is an alternative unless there are signs of fundamental deterioration ^[3]. He also provided an analysis that as the fear index, VKOSPI, soared to around the 90 level, more investors are reducing their trades for risk management ^[4]. In addition, Researcher Kim Yu-mi interpreted the results of the US May CPI, stating that although energy prices led the rise, the widespread spread of the inflation shock is limited considering the slowing trend of the core CPI ^[5].

Onion sees that the cool-headed analytical power of the research center is serving as a reliable compass for retail investors in a thin market. Conversely, Peanut analyzes that the market's fear is so great that it is not easy for rational analysis to immediately lead to the stabilization of investment sentiment.

🤝 Partner Day to Meet Fans!

Lastly, some light news! On the 13th, 'Kiwoom Securities Partner Day' will be held at the match between Kiwoom Heroes and Hanwha Eagles at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul ^[7]. They plan to provide various entertainment for spectators visiting the baseball stadium, so how about fans blowing off some stress at the stadium?

Goguma integrates the four opinions on securing a new growth engine called retirement pension and the research capability that holds the center amidst extreme volatility as follows. "Even amidst rough waves, Kiwoom Securities is protecting the competitiveness of its main business and pioneering a new route. As bullish and bearish scenarios coexist, it is necessary to watch the company's long-term business diversification moves rather than rejoicing and grieving over short-term price fluctuations."

I'll be back with vivid and in-depth news next time! 🍠
