Korea Investment & Securities to Newly List 268 ELW Issues View original image

An ELW is a product that allows investors to trade the right to buy or sell individual stocks or stock indices at a predetermined price on the expiration date. If you expect the underlying asset to rise, you can invest in call ELWs; if you expect it to decline, you can invest in put ELWs. However, if the price of the underlying asset moves in the opposite direction of your expectation, you may incur a loss of up to 100% of the principal at maturity.


To trade ELWs, an investment propensity assessment and completion of prior investor training are required. In addition, new customers must meet a minimum basic deposit requirement of at least 15 million won.



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