South Korea's Financial Services Commission Cancels Emergency Meeting on Leveraged ETFs on July 14

According to BizWatch, South Korea's Financial Services Commission canceled an emergency meeting scheduled with major asset managers on July 14 to discuss single-stock leveraged ETFs, citing policy uncertainty. The move signals regulatory hesitation over 13 trillion won in leveraged ETF assets. Industry sources suggest authorities face a dilemma: full delisting risks market disruption, while proposed alternatives—raising investment thresholds, lowering leverage ratios, and enhanced risk management—lack effectiveness. Notably, retail investors account for only 40% of leveraged ETF trading, with foreign and institutional investors comprising 60%, making investor education requirements largely ineffective. The FSC also omitted leveraged ETF measures from its July 15 presidential policy briefing.
