[Korea Exchange to Launch ETF After-Hours Trading] BlockBeats reports that on August 7, the Korea Exchange announced it will officially launch after-hours trading for exchange-traded funds (ETFs) on September 14. The Korea Exchange aims to compete with alternative trading system Nextrade and 24/7 cryptocurrency exchanges. In response, asset management institutions have warned that the lack of real-time net asset value (NAV) estimates could widen ETF price deviations. The industry had previously called on the Korea Exchange to delay the launch of this service. Leveraged single-stock ETFs will not be included in the scope of after-hours trading. (Jin10)
