Korea Investment & Securities to Newly List 579 ELWs
Korea Investment & Securities announced on July 16, 2025, that it will newly list 579 Equity-Linked Warrants (ELWs). Of these, 416 are index-type ELWs based on the KOSPI200 and KOSDAQ150, while 163 are stock-type ELWs based on individual stocks such as Samsung Electronics, SK hynix, NAVER, and POSCO Holdings.
An ELW is a financial product that allows investors to trade the right to buy or sell individual stocks or stock indices at a predetermined price on the maturity date. If an investor expects the underlying asset to rise, they can purchase a call ELW; if they expect it to fall, they can purchase a put ELW. This provides an opportunity to earn returns regardless of overall market conditions. However, if the price of the underlying asset moves in the opposite direction from the investor's expectation, up to 100% of the principal may be lost at maturity.
