According to Yonhap News Agency, at a time when the exchange rate of the won against the US dollar is weakening, South Korean brokerage firms have decided to stop new overseas investment marketing activities to protect retail investors. The report quoted an unnamed industry insider as saying that Korea's Financial Supervisory Service summoned the CEOs of major brokerage firms such as Mirae Asset, Meritz, Kiwoom, and Toss on Thursday morning. The Financial Supervisory Service said it is concerned that aggressive overseas investment marketing by brokerage firms may overexpose retail investors to the current high exchange rate environment, leading to major losses.
