Stars
Digital Wealth Management Platforms
By late 2025 NH Investment & Securities’ Namuh digital wealth brand leads South Korea’s robo-advisory market, serving over 1.2 million retail accounts and capturing roughly 28% market share in digital brokerage platforms, per company filings through 2025.
Retail participation in global equities surged, with Namuh clients’ overseas trade volume up 46% YoY to KRW 9.8 trillion in 2025, placing this unit in a high-growth sector.
The firm has committed KRW 120 billion from 2023–2025 into AI-driven advisory, deploying ML models that raised client AUM conversion rates by 14% in 2025 versus 2023.
Continued investment targets personalization, risk-scoring, and low-latency execution to defend share against fintech disruptors like KakaoPay Securities and Toss Bank.
Global Investment Banking Expansion
NH Investment & Securities has expanded its investment banking (IB) footprint in Southeast Asia and New York, capturing an estimated 12% share of Korean-led cross-border M&A deals in 2024 and arranging $4.1bn in debt capital markets issuances for clients last year.
This IB unit is a Star: demand for global diversification from Korean corporates rose 28% YoY in 2024, driving high revenues, but international compliance and senior hires pushed segment operating costs up ~18% vs 2023.
Sustainable Finance and ESG Advisory
As of end-2025, ESG-linked underwriting and green bond issuance are Stars in NH Investment & Securities’ BCG matrix after global carbon mandates pushed demand; global green bond issuance hit $750bn in 2024 and domestic volumes grew ~18% CAGR (2021–2025).
NH holds a dominant domestic green finance share—about 22% of Korea’s green bond underwriting in 2025—so it must keep investing in ESG analytical frameworks (estimated $8–12m annual spend) to outpace local rivals.
Direct Indexing Services
NH Investment & Securities leads South Korea’s fast-growing direct indexing market, managing an estimated KRW 450 billion in client-customized portfolios by Q4 2025 and growing ~48% year-over-year as retail flows shift from ETFs to personalized baskets.
Maintaining this Stars position needs continual tech upgrades—AI-driven tax-loss harvesting and APIs—and rising marketing spend; NH budgets ~KRW 12 billion annually to platform development and client acquisition to defend market share.
- KRW 450B in AUM (Q4 2025)
- ~48% YoY growth
- KRW 12B annual tech/marketing spend
- Focus: AI tax-loss, API integrations
Overseas Stock Brokerage
Overseas Stock Brokerage sits as a Star: NH leads US/Europe equity trading with ~25% market share in Korean retail cross-border trades and handled $48bn in FY2024 volumes, fueling high revenue from fees and FX spreads.
High volumes require 24/7 trading infrastructure and aggressive pricing; NH reinvests ~18% of unit revenue into tech and market access to stay competitive and retain margins.
This unit drives new customers—~42% of NH Securities’ net new retail accounts in 2024 originated via overseas trading offerings, boosting ecosystem cross-sell.
- Market share ~25% (cross-border retail)
- FY2024 trading volume $48bn
- Reinvestment ~18% of unit revenue
- 42% of 2024 net new retail accounts from unit

Cash Cows
Domestic Equity Brokerage
The domestic equity brokerage arm of NH Investment & Securities holds a top market share in Korea’s mature cash equities market, generating steady net revenue—NH surpassed KRW 1.2 trillion brokerage commission and fee income in 2024—while client base growth plateaued amid aging demographics.
Growth has leveled as population aging and market saturation cut new account formation, yet the unit produces massive free cash flow with low incremental marketing spend, funding NH’s tech investments and supporting dividends (NH paid KRW 220 per share in 2024).
Institutional Debt Capital Markets
NH Investment & Securities leads South Korea’s domestic corporate bond underwriting, capturing roughly 12–15% market share in 2024 and ranking top 3 by deal volume; corporate bond market size was about KRW 470 trillion in 2024, a mature, low-volatility segment.
Deep ties with major chaebols cut customer-acquisition cost and lift fees; underwriting margins in 2023–24 stayed above house average, roughly 30–50 bps per deal, giving predictable cash flow.
This Institutional Debt Capital Markets arm supplies steady liquidity and funding, supporting NH’s higher-risk proprietary trading and equity investments and enabling a stable ROE buffer during market swings.
Fixed Income Asset Management
Fixed Income Asset Management at NH Investment & Securities manages about KRW 25 trillion in institutional bond mandates and closed-end bond funds, holding roughly 32% share of the domestic institutional fixed-income market as of Q4 2025; this scale makes it a stable, high-market-share cash cow.
In the mature late-2025 interest-rate environment, capital expenditure needs are minimal—IT and compliance upkeep < KRW 5 billion—so operating cash flow stays strong.
Recurring management fees generated ~KRW 120 billion in 2025, providing predictable 'milk' to fund R&D and growth projects in equity research and digital platforms.
Retail Trust and Pension Services
NH Investment & Securities’ Retail Trust and Pension Services benefit from Korea’s National Pension Scheme stability; as of 2025 the unit manages roughly KRW 8.2 trillion in pension assets with retention above 90%, delivering steady fee income despite low annual AUM growth of ~3%.
Operations prioritize cost-efficiency and automation, yielding an EBITDA margin near 28% and predictable recurring revenue rather than market-share driven expansion.
- KRW 8.2 trillion AUM
- Retention >90%
- Annual AUM growth ~3%
- EBITDA margin ~28%
Corporate Lending and Credit Facilities
NH Investment & Securities’ corporate lending and credit facilities are a classic cash cow: low growth but high market share among Korean mid-to-large corporates, generating steady net interest margins around 1.6–1.9% in 2025 and contributing roughly 22–25% of operating income.
Risk frameworks are mature; 2024 non-performing loan ratio for corporate book stayed near 0.8%, capital consumption predictable with CET1 impact under 120–140 bps, and this business supports NH’s A- range credit profile and balance-sheet liquidity.
- Net interest margin 1.6–1.9% (2025 est.)
- Contributes 22–25% of operating income
- Corporate NPL ~0.8% (2024)
- CET1 impact ~120–140 bps
- Supports A- credit rating and liquidity
NH Investment & Securities: High‑margin cash cows drive 22–25% operating income
NH Investment & Securities’ cash cows—domestic equity brokerage, DCM underwriting, fixed-income AM, retail trust/pension, and corporate lending—deliver steady cash, high margins (EBITDA ~28%), and low capex; key 2025 metrics: KRW 1.2T brokerage fees (2024), KRW 25T FI AUM, KRW 8.2T pension AUM, NIM 1.6–1.9%, corporate NPL ~0.8%, contributing ~22–25% operating income.
