According to Shinhan Financial Group, Jin will meet with major global asset management firms and pension fund investors in North America over the next two weeks, starting from May 10 until May 22.
During his visit, Jin will explain the stability and fundamentals of the South Korean financial market and will also visit local subsidiaries and branches to review the status of global operations and regional growth strategies.
Jin plans to outline the group's enhanced corporate value improvement plans, which include a shareholder return system linked to return on equity (ROE) and growth rates, a capital policy that increases predictability and sustainability, and a strategy for diversifying revenue based on global business. He will also share Shinhan Financial's response to the prolonged conflict between the U.S. and Iran.
"Transparent and consistent communication with investors is a crucial foundation for enhancing corporate value," Jin stated. "Shinhan Financial will thoroughly explain our sustainable system for expanding both group growth and shareholder returns to global investors, and we will continue to enhance corporate value based on market trust."
Shinhan Financial has announced a new value enhancement policy this year, strengthening shareholder returns. The company has introduced a formula for calculating shareholder return rates linked to an elevated ROE target of over 10%. This new system eliminates the previous 50% cap on returns, establishing a predictable return framework calculated as '1 - (growth rate / target ROE)'.
The dividend policy will also be strengthened, with plans to initiate tax-exempt dividends for three years starting from the 2026 fiscal year, aiming for a yearly increase of over 10% in the dividend per share (DPS).
