Investors eye interest-bearing products as Korean stock market languishes

South Korea\'s stock market remains sluggish while market interest rates stay high, drawing investor attention to interest-bearing products such as brokerage-issued notes, repurchase agreements, government bonds and money market funds. Experts say the environment allows investors to secure interest income, but stress that choosing products should start with when the money will be needed. Product features, early redemption terms, credit risks and tax benefits vary, requiring careful checks of conditions and liquidity.
