Shinhan Investment Corp. Opens U.S. Stock Options Trading Service

Real-time Quotes Provided Free of Charge Until June

Shinhan Investment Corp. announced on the 18th that it will provide a US stock options service based on US stocks for domestic investors.

US stock options are overseas derivative products that trade the rights to buy (call options) and sell (put options) individual stocks based on their rise or fall. They allow for two-way investment and are characterized as leveraged products that can generate profits with a small amount of capital.

Investors holding accounts with Shinhan Investment Corp. can register products and request quotes in their accounts, then trade through the Shinhan SOL Securities application and Shinhan iGX (HTS).

The service covers 50 major US stocks as underlying assets, including Tesla, Nvidia, Apple, and Palantir Technologies, with plans to gradually expand the list of eligible stocks. To commemorate the launch of the service, Shinhan Investment Corp. will provide real-time quotes free of charge until June.

Han Il-hyun, Head of the Platform Business Division at Shinhan Investment Corp., said, “US stock options allow investment in both rising and falling markets, enabling profit strategies using put options even in volatile markets. We will strive to enhance trading convenience by expanding the range of tradable stocks and establishing an easy investment process.”
