South Korea\'s Financial Supervisory Service will revamp procedures for financial investment advertisements to curb false and exaggerated claims as competition intensifies for products such as exchange-traded funds. The overhaul covers ad production, screening and post-management at securities firms. New listings of ETFs and high-risk products posted on firms\' own YouTube channels are expected to be added to the Korea Financial Investment Association\'s review scope. The regulator and the association plan to complete rule revisions by mid-October and implement them in January 2027.

South Korea\'s brokerage industry will invest about 1 trillion won in secondary deals over the next three years to improve a venture investment exit structure heavily skewed toward IPOs. The Korea Financial Investment Association said securities firms plan to supply funds through individual investments and a joint fund. Seven major investment banks will invest about 618.5 billion won individually, with that total seen rising to 700.0 billion won if more note-issuing firms join.
