South Korean Financial Supervisory Service oversight
Overview
The South Korean Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) has expanded its regulatory oversight to enhance consumer protection and manage risks within the financial sector.
Initially, the FSS launched inspections into KB Financial Group and KB Kookmin Bank, focusing on governance, internal controls, and the transparency of CEO succession. The regulator also scrutinized the sale of Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) trusts, investigating whether banks adequately disclosed fee structures to investors.
Following these actions, the FSS tightened oversight specifically regarding high-risk investment products, such as overseas real estate funds and REITs. To prevent total principal losses for junior equity holders, the regulator implemented new requirements for enhanced due diligence, standardized risk disclosures in prospectuses, and the mandatory reporting of historical losses exceeding 20%. A special review team has been established to conduct intensive inspections of these high-risk assets.
