Business
LS SECURITIES Co., Ltd. is a South Korea-based financial services provider primarily engaged in securities brokerage, investment banking, wealth management, and proprietary trading. Founded in 1999 and headquartered in Seoul, South Korea, the company operates as the financial services affiliate of LS Group. The company operates across multiple core business segments: Retail and Online Brokerage, Wholesale and Institutional Sales, Investment Banking (IB), and Trading and Derivatives. Its core products and services include domestic and international equity and bond brokerage; exchange-traded funds (ETFs), exchange-traded notes (ETNs), and equity-linked warrants (ELWs); exchange-traded and over-the-counter derivatives comprising index futures, options, overseas futures, and foreign exchange (FX) margin contracts; proprietary Home Trading Systems (HTS) and Mobile Trading Systems (MTS), along with algorithmic and API trading solutions; wealth management offerings such as beneficiary certificates, mutual funds, trust accounts, wrap account services, repurchase agreements (RPs), cash management accounts (CMAs), and individual retirement pension (IRP) plans; structured financial products including equity-linked securities (ELS) and derivative-linked securities (DLS); investment banking solutions encompassing initial public offering (IPO) underwriting, debt and equity capital markets underwriting, corporate bond issuance, syndicated loans, real estate and infrastructure project financing (PF), and mergers and acquisitions (M&A) advisory; and institutional fixed income, currency, and commodities (FICC) trading, bond market making, and equity research services. The company primarily caters to retail investors, high-net-worth individuals, institutional investors, and corporate clients throughout South Korea, while providing cross-border trading access to global financial markets. In recent corporate developments, following regulatory approval by South Korea's Financial Services Commission in early 2024 for LS Networks to acquire a controlling stake, the company completed a major ownership transition and officially changed its corporate name from eBEST Investment & Securities Co., Ltd. to LS Securities Co., Ltd. in June 2024. Under LS Group ownership, the firm has initiated strategic business expansions aimed at leveraging group-wide synergies in corporate financing and supply-chain finance, while upgrading its digital trading platforms and reorganizing its investment banking and risk management structures.
