Scheduled to be appointed as a new inside director at the shareholders' meeting on the 23rd
The biggest issue in the financial investment industry is global market expansion
Mirae Asset Securities is appointing Kim Miseop, President of Global Business and known as a 'Global Expert' (age 55, photo), as a new inside director. As global expansion has become the hottest topic in the financial investment industry this year, it is expected that related businesses will gain momentum.
According to Mirae Asset Securities on the 21st, a regular shareholders' meeting will be held on the 23rd at the Mirae Asset Center One Building in Jung-gu, Seoul, where the proposal to appoint President Kim as an inside director will be resolved. Kim graduated from Seoul National University with a degree in Economics, worked at Hana Bank, and joined Mirae Asset Global Investments in 1998, working in the Planning Office. Since then, from 2005, he served as head of asset management subsidiaries in Hong Kong, Singapore, and Brazil, and in 2014, he was Vice President and Head of the Global Business Division. After serving as CEO of Mirae Asset Global Investments for six years starting in 2015, he was appointed President of Mirae Asset Securities in December 2021 and has been leading global business since. He is considered a founding key figure of the Mirae Asset Group and is known to have strong trust from Park Hyun-joo, Global Management Strategy Advisor.
Within Mirae Asset Securities, significance is placed on Kim’s appointment as an inside director, given his nearly 20 years of experience in the global division. Mirae Asset Securities has already been very proactive in entering emerging markets such as Vietnam and India, and the government has recently emphasized the 'globalization' of the securities industry. At a meeting earlier this month with securities company CEOs, Lee Bok-hyun, Governor of the Financial Supervisory Service, stated, "Overseas market entry and expansion of overseas investment are very important factors for the sustainable development of our securities industry," urging, "Please put more effort into globalization."
Chairman Choi Hyun-man and Director Lee Man-yeol, who were existing inside directors, will be reappointed at this shareholders' meeting as their terms expire on the 31st. Former Vice President Kang Sung-beom, who completed his term as an inside director, is expected to refocus on investment banking (IB) operations. Vice President Kang is originally from Daewoo Securities, which merged with Mirae Asset Securities in 2016. With this board reorganization and Kang’s departure, the new inside director lineup is composed entirely of Mirae Asset alumni.
