Key Attributes of KIC Employees

KIC seeks to nurture global finance experts who can contribute to growing Korea’s sovereign wealth and finance industry. Our goal is for all KIC employees to embody KIC’s five main attributes of professionalism, integrity, loyalty, accountability, and respect (PILLAR).

Recruitment

KIC strives to contribute to growing Korea’s national wealth and developing the country’s finance industry by recruiting talented, ambitious, and creative individuals who can shape the future. We use a "blind recruitment" method, which excludes factors that could cause bias such as hometown, family details, education, and gender and evaluates job skills alone.

We hire talented individuals with core competencies in equity, fixed-income, alternative investment, and risk management. We are also expanding staff in our overseas offices to enhance our global investment expertise and for more staff diversity.

Training

KIC has established an advanced talent development system as a part of the mid- to long-term talent development master plan created in 2021 to foster global financial professionals.

The master plan was designed in line with the life cycle of an individual, from recruitment to retirement. It comprises four parts – K-Future, for new employees; K-Milestone, for all employees; K-Global, for employees overseas; and K-Leadership, for leaders – and provides training roadmaps in accordance with employees’ job level and competency.

In 2023, KIC developed an overseas job-training program called the Global Financial Markets Boot Camp to bolster the overseas investment capabilities of junior employees. We plan to develop this into a flagship program to attract outstanding talent.

KIC will continue to expand its education and training programs to foster employee growth and boost organizational competitiveness.

Training for Every Stage of Life

KIC’s new education system supports employees as they pursue work-life harmony while developing their competencies and careers according to their respective life stage and job duty.
