NH Investment & Securities Issues KRW 3 Billion Retirement Pension ELS Series 78 Based on Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix with AA+ Credit Rating
NH Investment & Securities filed a supplemental shelf registration on July 21, 2026 to issue the N2 Retirement Pension ELS Series 78 worth KRW 3 billion. The underlying assets are Samsung Electronics common stock and SK Hynix common stock, with a maturity date of July 31, 2029 and a maximum loss of 40% of principal.
The securities are classified as high-complexity financial investments and are subject to a cooling-off period for individual retail investors. The issuer, NH Investment & Securities, maintains an AA+ credit rating, but the product is not protected by the Depositor Protection Act.
In 2025, NH Investment & Securities reported net income of KRW 908.3 billion on a separate basis and KRW 1.0315 trillion on a consolidated basis. The company continued its shareholder return policy by paying a dividend of KRW 1,300 per share and canceling 3.4 million treasury shares.
Proceeds from the ELS will be used for hedging transactions and purchases of high-quality debt securities to ensure stable payment of redemption amounts. The offering may be canceled if total subscription amount falls below KRW 1 billion.
[AI Summary]This ELS issuance is a routine small-scale addition under NH Investment & Securities's existing shelf registration, resulting in no equity dilution. The issuer's AA+ rating and solid profitability support its repayment capability, but the product carries high risk with a potential loss of up to 40% of principal. Additionally, an ongoing investigation into treasury bond bid-rigging represents a potential regulatory risk to monitor.
