Kiwoom Securities\' brokerage lead shakes; can its retirement pension gambit work?

Kiwoom Securities will start a retirement pension business from June, seeking to diversify earnings and expand its retail client base. The move comes as it posted record first-quarter profit while its core brokerage retail market share fell. It will offer IRP, DC and DB plans via its mobile trading system and operate the business mainly online. The firm will waive key fees for 1 year and aims for 10 percent securities-sector pension market share and a top-5 ranking by 2035.
