Korea Investment & Securities Lists 258 New ELW Stocks

[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Junho] Korea Investment & Securities, a subsidiary of Korea Financial Group, announced on the 20th that it will newly list 258 types of Equity-Linked Warrants (ELWs).

The newly listed items include 54 index-type ELWs based on the KOSPI 200 and KOSDAQ 150 indices, and 204 stock-type ELWs based on underlying assets such as POSCO, SK Hynix, and Hyundai Mobis.

Including the 258 newly listed items, Korea Investment & Securities currently has a total of 1,795 tradable ELWs issued by the company, holding the largest number of ELW issues among securities firms.

ELWs are products that trade the rights to buy or sell underlying stocks or indices at a predetermined price on the maturity date. Compared to directly purchasing stocks or indices, ELWs allow investment with a smaller amount of money. To trade ELWs, investors must complete ELW investor education on the Financial Investment Research Institute's online site and meet a basic deposit requirement of 15 million KRW (for new customers).

Korea Investment & Securities provides essential information for ELW trading through the dedicated ELW website's 'TRUE ELW School.' In the 'ELW Expected Price Table' menu, users can check hourly expected prices for 8 to 10 carefully selected stock ELWs for one week.

Additionally, through the dedicated ELW KakaoTalk channel, investors can receive investment information such as the previous day's closing ELW top pick items, the previous day's global market closing, and major issues of the day.
