NH Investment hosts roundtable with NYSE Group President Lynn Martin

NH Investment & Securities announced Tuesday that it hosted a roundtable with Lynn Martin, president of NYSE Group, one of the world's largest stock exchanges.

Attending from NH Investment & Securities were CEO Bae Gwang-su, Kang Min-hun, head of the digital business division, and Kim Ji-hun, head of the Retail Advisory division. Representing NYSE Group were Martin, Marco Chung, head of Asia and Middle East business, and Kim Min-cheol, Asia relationship manager.

The gathering was arranged to coincide with Martin's visit to South Korea. Martin oversees NYSE's global business and capital market strategy and is a recognized expert in global capital markets.

Bae and Martin exchanged views on a range of topics, including major shifts in global capital markets, trends in US financial markets, Korean companies' use of global capital markets, and digital financial markets.

The two sides also reached a shared understanding on expanding opportunities for Korean companies to enter global capital markets and for domestic investors to access overseas markets, as well as on building closer cooperation through the exchange of market information using both organizations' global networks.

"It was a meaningful occasion to exchange views with President Martin on changes in global financial markets and the broader capital market landscape," Bae said. "We will continue to expand our network with major global financial institutions and work to provide our customers with diverse investment opportunities in global markets."

Martin had also visited the National Assembly earlier, where she offered recommendations for innovation in South Korea's financial markets. At a seminar on advancing South Korea's capital markets and enhancing their global competitiveness, hosted Monday by Democratic Party of Korea lawmaker Kim Nam-jun, Martin stressed the importance of stable regulatory frameworks for financial market innovation. "What made new initiatives possible in our market was that the institutional foundation was built before technological innovation," she said.
