FSC Announces Early Implementation of Strengthened Deposit Requirement for Single-Stock Leveraged Products
The Financial Services Commission moves the implementation of strengthened minimum deposit requirements for single-stock leveraged products to July 31, raising the threshold from KRW 10 million to KRW 30 million in cash only, excluding substitute securities. Securities firms must cease recognizing substitute securities toward the deposit amount and adjust the timing of cash recognition from sale proceeds to the T+2 settlement date to prevent immediate reinvestment. Existing leeway for lowering deposit requirements based on trading experience is removed, and investors are advised to exercise caution regarding additional purchases under these enhanced risk tolerance standards.
