Korea Investment & Securities Releases Second Update with New MTS Features

Korea Investment & Securities announced on July 15 that it has added new features to its mobile trading system (MTS) app, 'Korea Investment,' to enhance convenience for overseas stock investors. This is the second update since April.

This update introduces several new features aimed at improving the convenience and accessibility of overseas stock investment, including: expanded stock display within the holdings tab; the launch of research reports in partnership with global asset management firms; automatic fractional investment in US stocks; the creation of a domestic stock community; expanded overseas stock information in the overseas home section; NXT price push notifications; and enhanced features for automatic investment in US dividend stocks and viewing dividend history.

The newly introduced 'automatic dividend stock investment' feature is designed for long-term investors seeking steady dividend income, offering an automatic investment service focused on dividend growth stocks that have consistently increased dividends for over five years. The company also explained that the previously complex dividend history feature has been improved, allowing users to check the timing and amount of dividend payments more intuitively.

In conjunction with the existing fractional investment service, a new feature has been added that allows users to automatically set up investments simply by entering the amount and investment period. This is expected to meet the needs of investors who wish to regularly purchase US stocks with small amounts. Additionally, research information from global asset management firms based in the US is now featured prominently on the overseas home section, further improving investors' access to overseas market information.

Park Jaehyun, Head of the Retail Customer Group, stated, "We expect that this MTS update will significantly enhance investors' app accessibility and user convenience," adding, "We will continue to develop customized services and provide investment support from the customer's perspective going forward."
