Samsung Securities has recently wrapped up its highly anticipated Corporate Finance Seminar, held on May 29, 2025, drawing an impressive crowd of over 170 corporate fund managers representing approximately 120 domestic and international companies. This event, part of Samsung Securities’ quarterly series tailored specifically for corporate clients, focused on delivering deep insights into the 2025 bond market outlook and strategic asset management, earning widespread acclaim from attendees.
The seminar, uniquely crafted to address the pressing concerns of corporate financial managers, covered a range of critical topics including fund procurement methods, asset-specific operation strategies, and trends in the foreign exchange market. This quarter’s theme, “Bond Insight 2025: Talking about Bond Market and Strategy,” was brought to life by a distinguished panel of experts: Yoo Seung-min, head of the Global Investment Strategy Team at Samsung Securities Research Center; Kim Eun-gi, a senior researcher; and Ahn Hyo-seok, head of the Korea ESG Research Institute.
Throughout the day, participants were guided through a comprehensive agenda that began with a discussion of the “2025 Regular Shareholder Meeting Key Issues and Practical Response Insight,” highlighting the corporate governance challenges and opportunities anticipated this year. This was followed by an exploration of the implications of former President Trump’s “Make America Great Again” (MAGA) second-term policy vision, offering a nuanced analysis of its potential effects on global markets and corporate strategies.
One of the seminar’s highlights was the presentation on the “Re-emerging Bond Investment Opportunities,” which illuminated the renewed potential within the bond market after a period of volatility. Attendees gained valuable perspectives on how to navigate these opportunities amidst shifting economic conditions. The sessions culminated with detailed discussions on “Bond Insight 2025, Corporate Fund Management Strategy” and “Corporate Fund Management Strategy Portfolio,” equipping financial managers with actionable strategies tailored to their organizations’ unique needs.
What sets Samsung Securities’ Corporate Finance Seminar apart is not just the high caliber of its speakers or the relevance of its topics, but also the practical benefits it offers. After the formal presentations, participants had the opportunity to engage in one-on-one consultations with dedicated corporate relationship managers. These sessions provided customized financial solutions, enabling companies to translate seminar insights into tailored asset management strategies. This one-stop financial management service has been praised by attendees as a major advantage, streamlining their access to expert advice and support.
Feedback from participants has been overwhelmingly positive, with many highlighting the seminar’s role in enhancing their understanding of the latest economic outlooks, fund management strategies, and emerging technology trends in finance. The practical, hands-on approach combined with forward-looking analysis has made the event a must-attend for corporate financial professionals seeking to sharpen their competitive edge.
