Earlier this month, Hanwha Investment & Securities CEO Hee-Baek Kwon announced the official launch of its subsidiary in Vietnam: Pinetree Securities Corporation.
In April, after the acquisition, Hanwha renamed the Hanoi-based HFT Securities company to Pinetree Securities and then reorganized the business so that it will become Southeast Asia’s top digital financial company by 2025. The new name was chosen for what pine trees symbolize. Pine trees can grow almost anywhere and are among the first to take root in a new forest and grow into green, upright trees that symbolize trust and robustness.
Pinetree Securities will help its clients to build wealth and secure their future by helping them take advantage of digital investment opportunities in the Vietnamese financial market.
