The forum will be held over two days until the 24th. Now in its second year, THE C FORUM operates under the motto of 'strengthening communication among C-level executives (chief officers in each field)' and provides an opportunity for corporate C-level executives and CIOs (chief investment officers) from domestic and international investment institutions to share mid- to long-term strategies and visions for long-term investment. This is especially significant as it offers CEOs and CFOs a chance to hear the voices of market participants and reflect them in future shareholder policies amid rising expectations for value-up programs both domestically and internationally.

This year’s event will feature 69 leading companies representing key sectors such as Samsung Electronics, Hyundai Motor, and KB Financial Group, along with 73 investment institutions including domestic and international pension funds, asset management firms, and insurance companies. Over 500 participants are registered to attend C-level investor relations (IR) meetings and networking sessions. Furthermore, with the participation of prominent sovereign wealth funds and pension funds from the Middle East and Asia, the investor base is expanding, resulting in a 60% increase in registered participants compared to the previous year. This is expected to establish the forum as a differentiated C-level IR event within the industry.

NH Investment & Securities plans to hold THE C FORUM annually and aims to take the lead in advancing the financial market through this initiative. Yoon Byung-woon, CEO of NH Investment & Securities, stated, "We organized this forum to discuss the long-term outlook of companies domestically as is done overseas," adding, "By holding the C Forum every year, we plan to contribute to the development of Korea’s investment culture and ask for continued interest from C-level executives and institutional investors." Since 2005, NH Investment & Securities has successfully hosted IR events in major global financial centers such as New York, Boston, San Francisco, London, Singapore, and Hong Kong, enhancing global investors’ understanding of Korea’s leading companies and playing a pioneering role in the development of the Korean stock market.
