Six Leading Global News Sources Including WSJ and Barron's Added
Free Access via MTS and WTS
Bridging the Information Gap for Individual Investors
Toss Securities announced on October 29 that it will significantly expand its global news service to enhance information accessibility and competitiveness for overseas stock investors. With this update, Toss Securities customers can now access premium articles from major global media outlets in Korean, without language or cost barriers.
The newly added sources include six major global media companies: The Wall Street Journal, Barron's, MarketWatch, and Investor's Business Daily (IBD) under the global media group Dow Jones, as well as MT Newswires and TipRanks.
This expansion of the global news service is expected to greatly broaden the range of global market information available to domestic investors. Until now, individual investors in Korea often relied on foreign-language articles or paid subscription services to understand key issues in overseas financial markets. Toss Securities now offers free Korean translations of select foreign articles-previously available only in English-using its proprietary translation model, and also provides an artificial intelligence (AI) summary feature to present key points at a glance. This creates an environment where individual investors can access a diverse range of global information.
With this update, the volume of U.S. market-related news supplied by Toss Securities has increased by about three times compared to July, and the number of stock news items covered has nearly doubled. Toss Securities plans to further improve the reliability and quality of its content through ongoing translation quality checks and reinforcement learning, and to add even more global news sources in the future.
A Toss Securities representative stated, "Being able to access key global financial market news in Korean, and for free, is a meaningful change in the domestic investment environment," adding, "We will continue to expand our services so that investors can make rational decisions without information gaps."
