Kiwoom Securities announced on the 14th that it will extend the 'Let's collect U.S. stocks for our children' event until October 31.
Minor customers participating in the event can receive a 10,000 won coupon that can be used for U.S. stock accumulation orders. Additionally, new account holders will receive a service coupon worth 90,000 won, while existing account holders will receive 20,000 won worth of service coupons. By sharing the event on KakaoTalk, participants can receive between 10,000 won and a maximum of 1 million won in additional coupons.
Currently, the most accumulated items by minor customers are representative U.S. exchange-traded funds (ETFs) suitable for long-term diversified investment, such as 'SCHD', 'QQQ', 'VOO', and 'QQQM'. It also appears that high-growth technology stocks like Palantir (PLTR) and IonQ (IONQ) have been frequently purchased through accumulation. Kiwoom Securities analyzed that this reflects an investment tendency to incorporate both stable index and dividend products along with future growth industries.
Kiwoom Securities launched the 'Collect More Stocks' service in May. The number of subscribers has exceeded 150,000, with 12% of them being minors.
'Collect More Stocks' is a service that allows users to automatically buy U.S. stocks regularly from at least 2,000 won daily, weekly, or monthly. Notably, when using the service, there are no purchase and currency exchange fees, allowing users to steadily accumulate U.S. stocks without the burden of fees.
A representative from Kiwoom Securities noted, "This event is meaningful in supporting the asset formation and proper investment habits of children" and added, "It will provide an opportunity for parents to discuss investments and experience a healthy investment culture."
