The Korea Exchange is exploring the launch of high-risk leveraged exchange-traded products (ETPs) to draw retail investors back to the domestic market. Discussions with financial regulators are underway to potentially ease current restrictions that ban products like leveraged single-stock ETFs and funds with three times or more leverage on indices. This initiative comes as the Kospi index has surged 92% over the past year, yet retail investors continue to prefer the US market, contributing to a weakening local currency due to capital outflows.
