Korea Investment & Securities to Newly List 462 ELWs

Korea Investment & Securities announced on the 19th that it will newly list 462 Equity-Linked Warrants (ELWs).

The listed ELWs consist of 144 index-type ELWs based on the KOSPI 200 as the underlying asset, and 318 stock-type ELWs based on underlying assets such as Samsung Electronics, SK hynix, Hyundai Motor, and Doosan Enerbility.

An ELW is a derivative product that allows investors to buy or sell the right to trade a specific stock or stock index at a predetermined price at a certain point in the future. Investors who expect the price of the underlying asset to rise can invest in call ELWs, while those who anticipate a decline can invest in put ELWs, enabling them to strategize according to market trends. Conversely, if the market moves in the opposite direction to their expectations, investors may lose their entire principal at maturity.

Before investing in ELWs, investors are required to complete a risk profile assessment and a preliminary education course. New investors must also have a minimum basic deposit of at least 15 million won.
