2024 Annual Report

Recruitment

KIC is committed to enhancing national wealth and advancing the finance industry by recruiting individuals who embrace challenges and have a creative mindset to shape the future. KIC employs a “blind recruitment” process that eliminates bias related to factors such as birthplace, family background, educational history and gender, evaluating candidates solely based on their job competencies.

KIC selects and hires talented individuals with core competencies in specific job areas such as equity management, fixed-income management, alternative investments and risk management. By expanding its pool of professionals, particularly through overseas branches, KIC is enhancing its global investment expertise and talent diversity.

Training

KIC has established an advanced talent development system as part of the mid- to long-term talent development master plan launched in 2021 to cultivate global finance professionals.

The master plan was designed to align with the life cycle of an employee, from recruitment to retirement. It consists of four components – K-Future, for new employees; K-Milestone, for all employees; K-Leadership, for leaders; and K-Global, for employees abroad – with training roadmaps based on employees’ job level and competency.

In 2024, KIC enhanced the overseas investment capabilities of junior employees through finding new regions for the Global Financial Markets Boot Camp, an overseas job training program. KIC plans to develop the boot camp into a flagship initiative to attract top talent.

KIC will continue to expand its education and training programs to foster employee development and strengthen organizational competitiveness.

Training for Every Stage of Life

KIC’s new education system supports employees in achieving work-life harmony while developing their competencies and careers according to their individual life stages and job levels, from recruitment to retirement.
