Overseas ETFs at a Glance on Korea Investment App... New Feature Added

Korea Investment & Securities announced on the 6th that it has updated new features in the mobile trading system (MTS) application ‘Korea Investment’ to enhance the convenience of overseas stock investors.

With this update, the Korea Investment app has added the ‘Sleepless in USA Report’ and ‘Overseas ETF Collection’ features.

Sleepless in USA is a service that provides local U.S. reports twice a day through an exclusive partnership between Korea Investment & Securities and the global financial firm Stifel Financial. The app redesign improves the readability of the reports and enhances convenience for trading U.S. stocks related to the reports.

The Overseas ETF Collection feature allows users to view major overseas exchange-traded funds (ETFs) categorized by various themes such as high dividend, leverage, and inverse ETFs at a glance. Investors can easily compare ETFs according to their themes of interest and establish appropriate investment strategies based on market trends.

Meanwhile, Korea Investment & Securities offers various benefits for overseas stock investors. First-time applicants for overseas trading services are exempt from U.S. stock trading fees for three months and receive $30 upon event registration. Additionally, up to 6 million KRW in benefits are provided when transferring overseas stocks from other financial institutions.

Jae-Hyun Park, Head of the Individual Customer Group, said, “We expect the MTS update to improve the convenience of overseas stock trading for investors,” adding, “We will continue to develop customized services and provide systematic investment support for our customers.”
