Product Details

The offering carries a stated annual rate of 5%. Marketing images for the product, including an official banner hosted on the Korea Investment & Securities domain, describe the sale as open on a first-come, first-served basis, meaning availability is limited and purchases are allocated in order of application. The product appears in the firm's issuance note new-purchase trading interface, indicating it is distributed through the broker's standard retail channels rather than an over-the-counter-only arrangement.

Disclosure Status Unclear

The Korea Financial Investment Association (KOFIA) operates an electronic disclosure system where per-issue interest rate disclosures for issuance notes are published. However, a direct comparison against those disclosures could not be completed, as access to the KOFIA disclosure site was blocked by the association's web application firewall, and repeated attempts with renewed credentials were unsuccessful. As a result, the exact issue terms on file — including the precise rate, maturity and sale window — remain unconfirmed against the official record.

Issuance notes are short-term, fixed-yield debt products issued by brokerages, and their advertised rates can vary by issue and by sales period. Investors considering the product should confirm the final terms through the firm's official disclosure before subscribing.

Bottom Line

The existence of the 5% annual-rate, first-come-first-served issuance note sale at Korea Investment & Securities is supported by the firm's own promotional material, though the per-issue terms could not be matched against the official KOFIA disclosure record. On that basis, the claim is Mostly True.
