Weekly prizes include Musinsa, CU and Baemin gift vouchers; cumulative trades of 50 million won or more unlock a 500,000-won prize
Daishin Securities announced Monday it will run a prize event for customers who trade domestic shares on the after-market.
Customers who make at least one after-market trade from Monday through Oct. 8 will be entered into a draw. A total of 800 winners — 200 per week — will each receive prizes worth 50,000 won ($37).
The prizes vary by week. From Monday through Friday, winners receive 50,000 won in Musinsa store credit; from Sept. 21 through Sept. 23, the prize is a 50,000-won CU convenience store gift card. From Sept. 28 through Oct. 2, winners receive a 50,000-won Baemin gift card, and from Oct. 6 through Oct. 8, the prize returns to 50,000 won in Musinsa store credit. Customers may enter multiple weeks.
There is also a bonus prize tied to trading volume. Among customers whose cumulative after-market trades during the event period reach 50 million won or more, five will be selected by draw to receive 500,000 won in Musinsa store credit.
Customers who have not made any after-market trades in the past six months but complete at least one trade during the event period will be eligible for a separate draw, with 5,000 winners each receiving a 3,000-won CU convenience store gift card.
Advance registration is required to participate.
"We designed the event so that customers can naturally experience after-market trading through fresh weekly incentives," said Cho Tae-won, head of the customer solutions division at Daishin Securities. "We hope customers will take advantage of the new trading hours to explore a wider range of investment opportunities."
Korea Exchange launched the after-market on Monday, allowing investors to trade shares in real time from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. The previous after-hours single-price auction session, which ran from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. in 10-minute intervals, has been abolished.
