Financial Services Commission's Efforts to Revitalize Domestic Market and Launch New Investment Products
The Financial Services Commission is set to introduce leveraged ETFs that track double the performance of individual stocks like Samsung Electronics. This initiative aims to attract domestic investors who have moved funds overseas and strengthen investment options in the local market. For investor protection, leverage will be capped at two times, and mandatory precautions such as deposit requirements and pre-education will be enforced.
Furthermore, the authority is paving the way for diverse investment products by proposing an extension of option product maturities and easing regulations on active ETFs. By addressing asymmetric regulations in the domestic ETF market, the initiative enhances foreign investors' direct access to local equities. Such regulatory easing has contributed to record highs in the domestic stock market, and the introduction of inverse ETFs will enable various investment strategies.
Additionally, several policy discussions are underway, including improvements in financial firm governance. Plans to enhance board independence and transparency in CEO appointments are on the agenda. Economic support measures, such as a new actuarial model to increase reverse mortgage subscriptions and renewable energy infrastructure through the National Growth Fund, are also under consideration.
Lastly, the commission seeks to strengthen household debt management and bond sale regulations to protect individual debtors. Various measures for investor protection are in development, reflecting ongoing commitment to improving the domestic investment environment through the introduction of new products.
