Starting today (26th), 'decimal point trading' will be possible for domestic stocks, like US stocks, in which one share is bought and sold.
Reporter Lim Tae-woo will explain how trades are made and what to keep in mind when investing.
<Reporter> The
difference between decimal stock trading and general trading is that when you place an order, you set the amount instead of the number of stocks you want to buy or sell.
For example, if an order is made to buy 150,000 won worth of stocks worth 150,000 won a week, the brokerage company puts 0.15 shares of the stock into the customer's account.
In this way, even an investor without a lot of money can buy stocks worth several hundred thousand won a week.
Each brokerage company has different stocks and fees that can be traded with decimal points.
Under the Fair Trade Act, Samsung Securities cannot trade with Samsung affiliates and Kakao Pay with Kakao Pay at Kakao Pay Securities.
The minimum order amount also varies from 100 won to 1,000 won by each brokerage company.
[Jung Byeong-seok / CEO of Namoo Customer Division, NH Investment & Securities: You can diversify your portfolio with a small amount of money.
In the future, I think that having the experience of dividing 1,000 won into 100 won and dispersing it into 10 stocks is the biggest advantage for me.] Something to
note.
Decimal stocks can receive dividends but do not have voting rights.
Decimal trading is not done right away in real time, but multiple orders are collected for a certain period of time and processed at a specific time, so you may not be able to trade at the desired price or time.
The government considers decimal stocks like regular stocks and imposes a securities transaction tax, but has decided not to pay dividend income tax or transfer tax.
