Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix Leverage Products' Minimum Deposit Increased to 30 Million Won Starting Next Month

Starting May 5th, the minimum deposit for investors purchasing leverage products of Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix will be increased to 30 million won. Investors will temporarily be unable to purchase single-stock leverage products. The Financial Services Commission introduced measures to address market volatility caused by single-stock leverage products, including suspending new listings and restricting advertising for existing products. The minimum deposit requirement is tripled from 1 million to 30 million won, requiring investors to maintain at least 30 million won in cash for new investments or additional purchases. Enhanced margin management and improved investor education programs are also implemented.
