Increase in Domestic Investment via ISA Accounts and Market Outlook
According to the Korea Financial Investment Association, as of the end of August 2023, the proportion of domestic financial investment products via Individual Savings Accounts (ISA) has significantly increased. The total ISA operated asset size reached 30 trillion won, with domestic investment proportioning 66.4%, reflecting an increase of 10.3 trillion won compared to the end of last year. This growth is attributed to the robust performance of the domestic stock market, captivating investors' interest due to higher returns. Notably, the share of domestic ETFs and funds has shown a marked increase.
Meanwhile, the overseas investment proportion has slightly decreased, maintaining around 34.0%. This trend appears to result from investors increasing domestic investment proportions to benefit from ISA's tax advantages and the effective domestic investment protection measures. The Korea Financial Investment Association anticipates that this investor behavior will further encourage capital inflow into the domestic capital market and presents a positive market outlook.
