Hyundai Motor Securities is undergoing a major restructuring of its Research Center and has appointed Jang Moon-soo as the new head. Contrary to the industry trend of downsizing research teams due to the introduction of artificial intelligence (AI), the company plans to maintain its current workforce while enhancing its corporate analysis and global investment strategy capabilities.
On August 25, Hyundai Motor Securities announced that it will reorganize its Research Center from three teams to four on September 1. The existing structure of corporate analysis, investment strategy, and global research will be changed to Corporate Analysis Team 1, Corporate Analysis Team 2, Global Investment Strategy Team, and Research Support Team.
The new head of the Research Center, Jang Moon-soo, is currently a researcher in the Corporate Analysis Team. He has been with Hyundai Motor Securities since 2018, focusing on the mobility and automotive sectors. Jang has been recognized multiple times as a best analyst in his field and is noted for his deep understanding of the company's internal dynamics.
The corporate analysis division will be divided into two teams. Corporate Analysis Team 1 will continue to be led by Park Hyun-wook, who will enhance analysis capabilities for cyclical stocks and traditional industries, including construction, steel, non-ferrous metals, shipbuilding, and food and beverage. Corporate Analysis Team 2 will be co-led by Jang Moon-soo, who will expand coverage in future growth industries such as mobility, semiconductors, and pharmaceuticals and biotechnology.
Jang stated, “With this organizational change, we aim to elevate our research capabilities to align with the company’s vision. We will leverage horizontal and vertical synergies among analysts to expand our network and new coverage while concentrating on enhancing our analytical capabilities in existing coverage to cultivate top-tier analysts across various sectors.”
The existing Investment Strategy Team and Global Research Team will be merged into the Global Investment Strategy Team to enhance competitiveness in domestic and international investment strategies and asset allocation. The Global Investment Strategy Team will be led by Executive Director Lee Hwa-jin, an expert in analyzing domestic and international economic trends and global financial markets, including stocks, bonds, and foreign exchange.
A new Research Support Team will also be established to centralize operational support previously handled by individual teams, allowing analysts to focus on their analysis work.
This restructuring aims to improve the efficiency of research operations and ensure stability in organizational management. The support scope of the Research Center will expand beyond corporate sales to include pension and wealth management sectors, proactively responding to new business trends.
A representative from Hyundai Motor Securities commented, “With the activation of overseas stocks and extended trading hours, the range of information that needs to be provided to clients has rapidly expanded. We will continue to strive for and improve our research capabilities to deliver timely and accurate investment information that our clients need.”
