Korea Investment & Securities announced on the 9th that it has added the transaction service feature for on-market bonds to its mobile trading system (MTS) "ourWON MTS."
Korea Investment & Securities' on-market bond transaction service allows users to buy and sell bonds listed on the Korea Exchange (KRX) directly in the on-market based on real-time prices, similar to stock trading. In particular, it has optimized the user interface (UI) for mobile devices to enhance information accessibility and transaction convenience.
Following the launch of the over-the-counter domestic bond transaction service in April, they explained that the addition of on-market bond transaction functionality allows investors to manage their domestic bond investments more efficiently in a mobile environment.
In its previously launched over-the-counter domestic bond transaction service, Korea Investment & Securities offers high-quality bonds such as government bonds. They have a variety of tailored product groups, including low-coupon bonds designed to reduce taxable financial income, high-coupon bonds that allow for high-interest income, and short-term commercial paper maturing within three months. They also provide advanced investment support features such as revenue simulation based on interest rate fluctuations.
A representative from Korea Investment & Securities noted, "In the context of recent changes in the interest rate environment, bonds can be a key asset that contributes to enhancing the stability of asset portfolios based on fixed interest rates and stable maturity structures." They added, "In the future, we plan to strengthen the digital platform functions that support investments and management not only for on-market and over-the-counter bonds but also for various asset classes including exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and pensions."
