Korea Investment & Securities to List 224 New ELWs

Korea Investment & Securities said on October 21, 2026, that it would newly list 224 equity-linked warrants (ELWs).

The new listings comprise 37 index-linked ELWs based on the KOSPI 200 and 187 stock-linked ELWs based on Samsung Electronics, SK hynix, Hyundai Motor, Doosan Enerbility, Hyundai Engineering & Construction, and other underlying assets.

ELWs are financial products that give investors the right to buy or sell individual stocks or stock indexes at a predetermined price on a set expiration date. Investors can use various strategies depending on the market's direction by investing in call ELWs when they expect the underlying asset to rise, or put ELWs when they expect it to fall. However, if the underlying asset moves in the opposite direction to expectations, investors may lose up to 100% of their principal at expiration.

Investors must complete an investment propensity assessment and preliminary investor education to trade ELWs. New customers must also meet a minimum initial deposit requirement of KRW 15 million.

Meanwhile, Korea Investment & Securities ranks first in both trading value and the number of listed issues on the Korea Exchange ELW market.
