Guaranteed Principal and Non-Guaranteed 1-Year Returns Both Ranked No.1
'Best Interest Rate Matching Service' and 'Pension Product Experts' Selection' Effective
High Satisfaction with Low Fees and Subscriber-Customized System

[Asia Economy Reporter Minwoo Lee] Hanwha Investment & Securities ranked first in the defined contribution (DC) type retirement pension yield in the fourth quarter of last year.

According to the Financial Supervisory Service's Integrated Pension Portal on the 24th, Hanwha Investment & Securities achieved yields of 2.36% and 34.58% for the principal-guaranteed and non-guaranteed DC-type retirement pensions, respectively, ranking first in both categories in the fourth quarter of last year.

Additionally, in the principal and interest guaranteed category, it ranked first among all providers throughout all four quarters. In the principal and interest non-guaranteed category, it ranked first in the 1st, 2nd, and 4th quarters, and second overall in the 3rd quarter.

Hanwha Investment & Securities explained that the 'Highest Interest Rate Matching Service' and 'Product Selection by Pension Experts' were key factors.

The 'Highest Interest Rate Matching Service' is an automated yield management system designed considering the DC-type characteristic where subscribers must directly give operation instructions. After applying for the service, with just one operation instruction, at maturity, the principal-guaranteed product is automatically repurchased with the highest interest rate product held by Hanwha Investment & Securities.

Moreover, Hanwha Investment & Securities selects suitable pension investment products monthly through 'Product Selection by Pension Experts,' covering over 450 funds including exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

In addition, when subscribers book mobile consultations, a comprehensive consultation service covering all pensions including DC-type, National Pension, Pension Savings, and Individual Retirement Pension (IRP) is provided.

Suncheol Kim, Executive Director of Product Strategy at Hanwha Investment & Securities, stated, "Hanwha Investment & Securities holds a variety of high-interest principal-guaranteed products and investment products favorable to subscribers. From the user's perspective, it reduces costs, and for the person in charge, it alleviates workload."

Meanwhile, Hanwha Investment & Securities is also conducting an event to celebrate achieving the top yield. All DC-type retirement pension subscribers will receive a mobile gift certificate worth 20,000 KRW, and customers who transfer their pensions to Hanwha Investment & Securities or purchase funds within their pension accounts will receive gift certificates up to 50,000 KRW depending on the amount.
