[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Ju-yeon] KB Securities announced on the 6th that it has launched the investment insight platform application (app) 'SPEC'.

The SPEC app is an investment insight platform app that allows users to selectively view only the investment news they are interested in, share opinions among investors, and even perform simple simulated investments. A major feature is that it provides real-time investment data such as real-time prices of indices and stocks, and market-leading stocks by theme.

In addition, about 10,000 domestic news data items are automatically classified daily through an algorithm, allowing investors to view their interest issues categorized by category, and key investment news can be summarized into 20 items per day.

Through the Poll Insight (market outlook, investment opinion voting) menu provided by the app, investors can directly vote on market issues and gather other investors' opinions to use as a reference for investment.

Besides these, the app includes the Pin Trading feature, which allows simulated trading through simple PIN settings without a separate virtual investment account and lets users check their investment ranking, as well as the Sentiment feature that shows the investment sentiment index by analyzing unstructured news to indicate whether the market is overheated or sluggish.

To commemorate the launch of the SPEC app, KB Securities is conducting a 100% prize event where the first 5,000 customers who sign up will be entered into a drawing to win AirPods Pro, 50,000 KRW department store gift certificates, Americano coupons, and more.
