ISA Account Balance Surpasses 40 Trillion Won: Focus on Brokerage Accounts
The total subscription amount of Individual Savings Accounts (ISA) has surpassed 40 trillion won, marking a significant milestone in the Korean financial market. Achieved in just 9 years and 3 months since its introduction, ISAs saw an unprecedented increase of 7.5 trillion won just in the first half of this year, a record growth fueled by brokerage accounts.
The brokerage-type accounts accounted for 60% of the total subscription amount and were predominantly facilitated through securities firms. ETFs and stocks are the primary financial products in these accounts, with the highest number of subscribers also choosing this type. The Korea Financial Investment Association attributes this growth to new government efforts to invigorate the capital market and broaden tax benefits.
As a financial product with substantial tax advantages, ISAs offer a tax exemption of up to 2 million won by offsetting profits and losses. The access to diverse investment options, particularly in ETFs and stocks, has been a key attraction for investors. Regulatory authorities expect long-term investments through ISA to expedite the arrival of the KOSPI 5000 era.
