Korea Premium Week 2026: South Korea's Capital Markets Seek Global Investors

South Korea's largest integrated investor relations event, 'Korea Premium Week 2026,' kicked off on September 28. The three-week long event is being hosted by the Financial Services Commission and Korea Exchange to draw overseas investor attention to South Korea's capital markets.

The event features top executives from global financial firms including BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, Nasdaq, and Vanguard attending in force to assess the investment appeal of South Korea's capital markets firsthand. A total of 42 institutions and 55 listed companies are participating, with roughly 25 programs scheduled during the event period.

South Korean blue-chip companies such as Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix will hold one-on-one meetings with overseas investors, while seminars and listed-company briefings for retail investors are also planned. The government aims to make the event a regular fixture, modeled after integrated IR events in Japan and Taiwan, to boost the global competitiveness of South Korea's capital markets.
