Korea Investment & Securities to Newly List 271 ELW Products View original image

An ELW is a financial product that allows investors to trade the right to buy or sell individual stocks or stock indices at a pre-determined price on the maturity date. Investors can choose a call ELW if they expect the underlying asset to rise, or a put ELW if they expect it to fall, thus investing according to market direction. However, if the price of the underlying asset moves in the opposite direction to expectations, up to 100% of the principal may be lost at maturity.


To trade ELWs, investors must undergo a risk profile assessment and complete mandatory pre-investment education. In addition, new customers are required to maintain a minimum deposit of 15 million won.



Korea Investment & Securities currently ranks first in both trading volume and the number of listed ELW products on the Korea Exchange ELW market.
