"드러누워서라도 막았어야"..'삼전닉스' 레버리지에 직격 / SBS 8뉴스

Anchor Lee Chan-jin, Governor of the Financial Supervisory Service (FSS), sharply criticized single-stock leverage products that track twice the fluctuations of Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix. He stated that their introduction should have been blocked, even if it meant staging a sit-in protest. He emphasized that only securities firms are benefiting as these products increase stock market volatility and fuel short-term trading. Reporter Lee Tae-kwon reports. Reporter Lee Chan-jin, Governor of the Financial Supervisory Service, unleashed a barrage of criticism regarding single-stock leverage products for Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix. The market capitalization of the leverage and inverse products launched last month has surged to over 15 trillion won, and the cumulative trading volume since their launch has reached 173 trillion won. Governor Lee stated that there is a significant concern that this could lead to losses for individual investors. [Lee Chan-jin/Governor of the Financial Supervisory Service: Most of these are now held by individual investors. It seems to be around 92% right now. Even though this is an investment with extremely dangerous risks, a cooling-down is not currently taking place... .] In the actual continuous market downturn, the maximum drop in these products reached an average of 36.9%. In particular, he criticized that the average daily trading turnover rate soared to as high as 200%, resulting in a situation where only securities firms were enriched by trading fees. [Lee Chan-jin / Governor of the Financial Supervisory Service: It is estimated that (trading fees) exceed 10 trillion won, meaning those investors are paying between 40% and 70% of (the total market capitalization) in fees.] He also stated that although the system was introduced to entice foreign investors to return their funds to the domestic market due to the high exchange rate, it ultimately had little effect, and he even expressed regret, wondering if he should have blocked its introduction even if it meant lying down in protest. He further revealed that the side effects are too severe, such as leading to a major shock to households during rapid stock price fluctuations, and that the government is currently deeply concerned. Governor Lee stated that he is currently consulting with the Financial Services Commission to consider what measures can be taken to mitigate the impact. Regarding the fact that Mirae Asset Securities received zero shares during SpaceX's IPO, he emphasized that it was an "absurd situation" and that they are looking into whether the risk disclosures related to overseas investments were appropriate.
