It offers features including an easy comparison folder, simulated investing and an investment time machine function.

South Korea\'s financial investment industry is bracing for a parliamentary audit that is expected to focus on investor protection and information security. Lawmakers are set to question regulators over the rollout and supervision of single-stock leveraged and inverse exchange-traded products after disclosures of retail losses.
