FSS launches on-site inspections of Shinhan Investment, Kiwoom over JTBC corporate bond mis-selling

South Korea\'s Financial Supervisory Service has begun on-site inspections of Shinhan Investment Corp and Kiwoom Securities to determine whether there was mis-selling in the sales process for JTBC corporate bonds. The watchdog is examining whether the firms proceeded with issuance and sales while aware of the risk of JTBC’s deteriorating finances, and whether they sufficiently notified investors of risks and gave guidance suited to investor profiles. Retail investors are reported to have filed complaints.
