Kiwoom Securities noted on the 26th that it is conducting a commission discount event for new and dormant overseas futures customers. The event period lasts for about eight weeks until April 18. Customers who have no experience with overseas futures trading or have not made any transactions in the three months prior to the application date can all participate.
After applying for the event, a commission of $0.70 per contract will be applied to all overseas futures micro products (a total of 18) available for transaction at Kiwoom Securities starting the next business day. The discounted commission will be maintained for three months (90 days) from the application date and can be traded via Hero's Portal G (HTS), Hero's Portal S (MTS), and overseas futures OPEN-API.
Overseas futures trading refers to the trading of derivative products based on various underlying assets such as indexes, currencies, interest rates, metals, and energy listed on foreign exchanges. Micro products can be traded with a 10% margin compared to standard futures that track the same underlying asset.
In addition to this overseas futures micro commission discount event, Kiwoom Securities is also conducting events for a maximum payment of 1 million won for U.S. stock options transactions, as well as support for the first U.S. stock options transaction with a maximum subsidy of $50.
Detailed information related to the overseas futures options event and transactions can be found on the Kiwoom Securities website or the Kiwoom Financial Center.
