TITLE: South Korea's Financial Services Commission Amends Capital Markets Act to Permit Single-Stock Leveraged Exchange-Traded Funds BODY: On April 21, 2026, South Korea's Financial Services Commission (FSC) approved amendments to the Capital Markets Act Enforcement Decree at a cabinet meeting to address regulatory asymmetries between domestically-listed and overseas-listed exchange-traded funds (ETFs). The amendments will be promulgated and take effect on April 28, 2026. The amendments permit the introduction of single-stock leveraged ETFs (with leverage ratios of up to ±2 times) and exchange-traded notes (ETNs) based on high-quality domestic equities. Currently, such products are unavailable domestically due to diversification requirements, while they are widely available in markets including the United States and Hong Kong. The FSC aims to enhance competitiveness of South Korea's ETF market and reduce capital outflows by aligning domestic regulations with global standards. The amendments expand the securities management limit for identical stocks from 30 percent to 100 percent of total assets and permit price volatility risk evaluation of up to 200 percent of total assets. Eligible underlying assets are limited to stocks meeting criteria including market capitalisation of at least 10 percent of the KOSPI, trading volume of at least 5 percent, and appropriate investment grades. As of Q1 2026, Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix qualify as eligible underlying assets. Enhanced investor protections include mandatory advanced education (one hour) for single-stock leveraged and inverse ETF investors, implementation of minimum deposits of 10 million won for overseas-listed leveraged products, and clear product labelling prohibiting use of the term "ETF" in product names. Single-stock leveraged ETFs are expected to list from May 22, 2026, following securities registration and listing reviews. Individual stock weekly options are scheduled to launch on June 29, 2026.
