Shinhan Asset Management announced Friday it has joined the Korea Inclusive Finance Agency's "Life-Saving Finance" relay campaign, aimed at protecting financially vulnerable groups and spreading the value of inclusive finance.

The campaign was launched to raise awareness of the importance of preventing harm from illegal private lending and protecting financially vulnerable groups, while promoting financial recovery support and the broader value of inclusive finance.

Shinhan Asset Management operates under a management vision of maximizing customers' economic benefit and becoming an indispensable partner in the asset management industry. The firm offers products and solutions tailored to customers' investment goals and diverse needs, upholds strict compliance and risk management as core operating principles, and strengthens its investment capabilities across traditional and alternative assets to respond proactively to market changes.

"Financial companies must faithfully fulfill their core role of managing customers' assets while also creating value that allows them to grow alongside society," CEO Lee Seok-won said. "We will continue to foster a sound investment culture based on principles and trust, and strive to bring positive change to our customers' lives and to society through finance."

Lee nominated Kim Jeong-nam, CEO of Shinhan Fund Partners, as the next participant in the relay campaign.

The "Life-Saving Finance" relay campaign has recently drawn participation from a growing number of financial investment firms, including Shinhan Securities, Yuanta Securities Korea, Kakao Pay, NH Investment & Securities, Kyobo Securities, Kiwoom Investment Asset Management and Kyobo Asset Management.
