NH Investment & Securities is publicly offering 12 tranches of step-down equity-linked securities with a total face value of 77 billion KRW, maturing from 2026 to 2029. Underlying assets include major domestic and international indices and individual stocks such as Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, KOSPI200, S&P500, EuroStoxx50, HSCEI, AMD, Micron, and Palantir.
The funds raised will be used for hedging to ensure stable payment of redemption amounts, and no new shares are issued, so existing shareholders face no dilution. The issuer NH Investment & Securities has a credit rating of AA+, and there are no counterparties with credit equivalent amounts exceeding 5% of capital, indicating sound financial health.
These securities are high-difficulty financial investment products with principal not guaranteed, exposing investors to potential loss of up to 100% if underlying asset prices fall. Early redemption before maturity may also result in principal loss. Investor protection measures such as a cooling-off period and recording obligations are in place.
