[Alpha Biz=(Chicago) Reporter Kim Jisun] KB Financial Group announced on the 23rd that it held a conference called 'KB Investor Insights 2024' to diagnose uncertain market conditions for individual and corporate customers and share KB Financial's investment philosophy.

The conference, held at the multi-purpose hall of Kookmin Bank's headquarters in Yeouido, Seoul on the 22nd, was held under the theme of "Anti-fragile: Tasks for New Prosperity Beyond Uncertainty." The conference was attended by executives of holdings and affiliates, including Chairman Yang Jong-hee, Park Jung-rim, head of the holding division and CEO of KB Securities, Han Dong-hwan, head of the Holding Management Research Institute, and Lee Hyun-seung, head of the AM division and CEO of KB Asset Management.

Anti-fragile is a concept first presented by Professor Nassim Nicholas Taleb, author of Black Swan. It means having 'Things That Gain From Disorder'.

"What we need in an era when uncertainty becomes daily life is not a traditional concept, but an evolved ability to respond to crises," Chairman Yang said in a CEO message. "We need to distinguish between market uncertainties such as global supply chain instability, high interest rates, and geopolitical risks, and uncertainties of the times such as population reduction, climate change and the emergence of artificial intelligence."

Chairman Yang cited Anti-fragile as the ability that customers, society and KB should have. △ Build a strong safety net that will not be broken when facing a shocking situation △ Based on the safety net, we should be able to accept various risks and take rewards to link them to growth. △ We should be able to accept flexibly and adapt quickly when uncertainty is confirmed and realized.

KB Financial Group will spare no support to help our entire society grow in a balanced manner based on diversity, and promised to make efforts to create a "customer happiness and a better world" based on the philosophy that "the answer is always with customers."
