Korea Investment & Securities, a subsidiary of Korea Financial Group (President Jeong Il-moon), announced on the 6th that it will launch six types of Equity-Linked Securities (ELS).


'True ELS Series 16612' is a 3-year maturity product based on AMD (Advanced Micro Devices) and NVIDIA as underlying assets. Early redemption is determined every six months. If the underlying assets are at or above 70% of the initial reference price at 6, 12, 18, and 24 months, 65% at 30 months, and 60% at maturity, an annual return of 11% is paid and early redemption occurs.


'True ELS Series 16614' is a 3-year maturity lizard step-down type product based on the U.S. electric vehicle company Tesla. If the underlying asset has never fallen below the lizard barrier of 50% of the initial reference price from the initial reference date to the 12-month early redemption evaluation date (second evaluation), an annual return of 20% is paid and the product is redeemed. If the underlying asset is at or above 80% of the initial reference price at 6 and 12 months, 75% at 18 months, 70% at 24 and 30 months, and 65% at maturity, an annual return of 10% is paid and early redemption occurs.


Even if the early redemption conditions are not met for both products, if the underlying assets have not fallen below 35% of the initial reference price during the investment period, the contracted returns will be paid at maturity. However, if the assets fall below the threshold, losses ranging from 40% to 100% and 35% to 100% of the principal may occur, respectively.



The subscription period for general individual investors is from the 6th to the 7th. According to the investor cooling-off system, there will be a cooling-off period from the 8th to the 9th, and investors can confirm their subscription intentions from the 10th until 10 a.m. on the 13th.
