Shinhan Securities to host 2027 Shinhan Financial Market Forum

Shinhan Securities announced Wednesday that it will hold the "2027 Shinhan Financial Market Forum" over two days, Wednesday and Thursday.

The forum was organized to assess shifts in the AI investment paradigm and the growth outlook for key industries amid rising uncertainty in global economic and financial markets, while also laying out investment strategies for next year. The event will particularly examine major changes in financial markets — including competition over strategic industries between nations, supply chain restructuring and profitability verification in the AI sector — and explore new investment opportunities.

On the first day, Wednesday, sessions themed "2027 Economic and Financial Market Outlook" will offer a comprehensive review of macroeconomic conditions and major asset markets. The program will open with macro and asset allocation strategies, followed by an assessment of the domestic equity market outlook and key issues. Analysts will also explore global investment opportunities through developed- and emerging-market equity strategies and overseas company analysis, and present investment strategies across major asset classes including bonds, credit and digital assets.

Thursday's sessions will focus on structural changes and growth opportunities across key industries. Analysts will present sector outlooks, investment strategies and top stock picks covering consumer goods and platforms, mobility and materials/industrials, IT hardware, pharmaceuticals and biotech, AI and robotics and innovation growth, and financials. The sessions will also examine industry-level changes driven by expanding AI investment, along with the real growth potential and profitability of individual companies.

Both days of the forum will be livestreamed from 1:30 p.m. through Shinhan Securities' official YouTube channel, "Alpha TV."

Yoon Chang-yong, head of research at Shinhan Securities, said the 2027 global financial market is reaching a new inflection point driven by competition over strategic industries, supply chain realignment and a shifting AI investment paradigm. "As we move into a period where actual profitability and corporate value matter more than growth expectations alone, I hope this forum serves as an opportunity to understand the changing market environment and identify new investment opportunities and response strategies," Yoon said.

Shinhan Securities recently began selling the Shinyoung K Pure Value fund, which invests in stocks trading below their intrinsic corporate value. Since Oct. 27, it has also been offering the Eugene Smart Selection Mixed Asset Investment Trust, a fund that spreads investment across the strategies of multiple private asset managers.
