Strengthened Investor Protection Measures to Take Effect from August 19 for Single-Stock Leveraged Products
A set of strengthened investor protection measures for single-stock leveraged products will take effect from August 19. The Financial Services Commission announced that the Korea Exchange (KRX) revised its KOSPI market regulations on August 12, bolstering securities firms’ premium/discount rate management duty on exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and exchange-traded notes (ETNs) from 3% to 2% for domestically listed products and from 6% to 5% for overseas listed products. From August 19, retail investors making new investments in these products must have a minimum deposit of KRW30 million, complete three hours of prior learning sessions, and take a KRX mock trading session for at least one hour a day over a minimum of five trading days.
