[Smart Finance Awards] AI Transforms Investment Information... Building an Open AX Platform
Korea Investment & Securities Wins Top Prize in AX Category
Korea Investment & Securities won the top prize in the AX category in the mobile trading system (MTS) evaluation at the 2026 Asia Smart Finance Awards. Rather than simply adopting new technologies, the company is focused on building an “AX investment ecosystem” by expanding its artificial intelligence (AI)-powered investment information services and connecting them with global financial information platforms, open APIs, and development tools.
One of its flagship services is “What’s the Market Like Now?,” an AI-powered real-time market analysis service. It uses AI to analyze vast amounts of market data and quickly provides concise updates on key market trends and issues at different times of day, including before the market opens, during trading, and at market close. The service received a strong response, surpassing 10 million cumulative views about one month after its launch at the end of March 2025.
The company is also strengthening its partnerships with external platforms. In partnership with global financial information platform Investing.com, it launched an account-opening integration service, the first securities firm in South Korea to do so. Going forward, it plans to broaden the scope of information it provides by combining Investing.com’s global financial information with its own AI-powered investment content.
The company is also opening up its development ecosystem so customers can use AI and data to build their own investment environments. Its open API provides market data lookup and order placement functions for domestic and overseas stocks, futures and options, and exchange-traded bonds. The KIS Developers platform provides sample code and development materials. The company also offers tools based on the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to help users analyze data and implement investment strategies using generative AI.
