The Bank announced that its securities entity in South Korea has obtained an over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives brokerage license from the Financial Services Commission.
Up to now CASAL activities were focused on the origination of foreign currency bonds for Korean issuers and on the distribution of capital protected investment products to investors. The new license will strengthen CASAL access to the local market and expand its product offering to a wide range of derivatives and derivative-linked notes, covering all types of underlying (rates, FX, equity, credit etc.).
This broadened product suite will better serve the needs of its Korean clients by supporting their diverse investment and hedging strategies.
Sungmin Joh, Branch Manager for CASAL, said: “The license enables our institutional clients to have better access to CASAL’s innovative investment products and solutions, and supports our journey in providing them with the best investment instruments.”
