"Trade for 23 Hours a Day": Korea Investment & Securities Resumes U.S. Stock Daytime Trading Service

Korea Investment & Securities announced on November 4 that it has resumed its U.S. stock daytime trading service.

The U.S. stock daytime trading service allows trading of U.S. stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) on weekdays from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Including the existing pre-market (6:00 p.m. to 11:30 p.m.), regular trading hours (11:30 p.m. to 6:00 a.m.), and after-market (6:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m.) sessions, investors can trade for up to 23 hours a day.

To celebrate the resumption of the U.S. stock daytime trading service, an event will be held through November 24. Any customer with a BanKIS stock account can participate freely, and simply by applying, 1,018 people will be selected by lottery to receive 5,000 won in Naver Pay points. In addition, every business day, 250 customers who trade at least one share through daytime trading will be selected to receive a 5,000 won Shinsegae mobile gift certificate. Details on how to participate in the event and other related information can be found on the Korea Investment & Securities website, MTS, and customer center.

Korea Investment & Securities has also strengthened trading stability with the resumption of the daytime trading service. Stock orders are processed through three alternative trading systems (ATS): Blue Ocean, Bruce, and Moon. The company has also established a dualized operating system to respond quickly in the event of disruptions caused by external factors such as real-time stock quotes, dedicated lines, or local brokers. In addition, a revamp of the mobile trading system (MTS) is underway to enhance convenience for investors trading remotely.
