Hanwha Investment & Securities, known as Hanwha Invest, had approved a capital plan of up to KRW 900 billion on September 30, 2026. The move combines a KRW 500 billion third-party allotment with up to KRW 400 billion in hybrid capital securities, according to Aju Press.

Three capital milestones

On September 30, 2026, the board approved the KRW 900 billion plan, including KRW 250 billion from Hanwha Asset Management and KRW 250 billion from Hanwha Life Insurance. On October 8, 2026, the company completed payment for the KRW 500 billion paid-in capital increase, according to Chosunbiz.

On October 12, 2026, the reported capital structure still showed a gap to the licensing threshold. Standalone equity was KRW 2.2674 trillion at the end of June, so the paid-in increase alone would lift it to KRW 2.7674 trillion, leaving KRW 232.6 billion to reach KRW 3 trillion.

What does the capital raise change?

The plan strengthens the balance sheet, but it does not immediately deliver comprehensive financial investment status. Aju Press reported that hybrid securities are excluded from the legal equity calculation and that the company must maintain equity above KRW 3 trillion for two consecutive fiscal years.

The operating picture adds a counterweight. First-half net operating revenue rose 35.6 percent year over year to KRW 305.8 billion, while net income fell 9.7 percent to KRW 55.7 billion, according to Chosunbiz. The same report put the adjusted net capital ratio at 237.7 percent at the end of June, while total risk reached KRW 902.5 billion.

Dates shape the licensing route

The next dated milestones are October 10, 2027, when conversion of the preferred shares can begin, and October 9, 2056, when the conversion window ends. The long conversion period leaves capital adequacy, profitability and the use of the new funds as the central execution tests.

Capital supports expansion

The Korea Herald reported that Hanwha Investment & Securities plans to use the stronger capital base to expand asset management, investment capacity and digital asset infrastructure. For Hanwha Invest stock, the key numerical tension is clear: the plan reaches KRW 900 billion, but the paid-in portion leaves KRW 232.6 billion before the KRW 3 trillion threshold.
