South Korea plans to introduce an “emergency power” to limit the leverage multiple of single-stock leveraged products to 1.5x
Jiebijunews: China Financial Regulatory authorities in South Korea are pushing for the introduction of an “emergency action power,” which would allow regulators to quickly reduce the leverage multiple of single-stock leveraged products in emergency situations. Previously, such products were regarded as one of the main factors driving sharp market volatility. Regulators are also studying other restrictions, including setting an upper limit on leveraged investment quotas and further raising requirements for initial margin. According to Yonhap News Agency, South Korea’s Financial Services Commission (FSC) will jointly draft amendments to the (Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act) with the Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) to establish a legal basis for taking market-stabilizing measures in emergencies. The core of this adjustment is to allow financial regulators to temporarily adjust the leverage multiple of single-stock leveraged ETFs. Currently, single-stock leveraged products in South Korea are designed to track 2x returns. With emergency action authorization, if regulators believe it is necessary to protect investors, the leverage multiple would be reduced to 1.5x or 1x.
