The Korea Financial Investment Association (KOFIA) is a non-profit, self-regulatory organization (SRO) founded under the Financial Investment Services and Capital Market Act.
Established on February 4, 2009, through the merger of the Korea Securities Dealers Association, the Korea Futures Association, and the Asset Management Association, KOFIA operates as a think-tank for the financial investment industry, dedicating its efforts to promoting the development and globalization of the Korean capital market. |
KOFIA’s primary goals are ensuring fair business practice among members, the fair trading of securities and investor protection, and developing the nation’s capital market and financial investment services industry.
To achieve these goals, KOFIA performs five major functions: self-regulation, market management, upgrading the financial investment industry, education and training of professionals, and fostering a sound investment culture
As a primary SRO, KOFIA oversees a wide spectrum of areas in the Korean financial investment industry. All securities, asset management and futures firms in Korea are KOFIA members and are subject to the KOFIA’s self-regulatory operations. Using its successful experience in launching KOSDAQ, the Korean version of NASDAQ, KOFIA is now operating the FreeBoard, an OTC Bulletin Board, and the OTC Bond Market. To enhance the competitiveness of the Korean financial investment industry, KOFIA offers valuable professional services by making policy recommendations, providing member services and guiding the globalization of the Korean financial industry. By operating the Korea Institute of Financial Investment (KIFIN), KOFIA cultivates industry professionals, the most valuable asset of the financial investment industry. Finally, as a founding member of the International Forum for Investor Education (IFIE), KOFIA played a leading role in the establishment of the Korea Council for Investor Education (KCIE), which works to instill a sound investment culture, pioneering investor education in Korea.

The Korea Council for Investor Education (KCIE) is a national non-profit organization exclusively devoted to investor education in Korea. To provide systematic and efficient investor education programs, the KCIE was founded in 2005 by seven government and securities-related organizations, including the Financial Supervisory Service (FSS), Financial Services Commission (FSC), Korea Financial Investment Association (KOFIA, formally the Korea Securities Dealers Association) and the Korea Exchange (KRX).
|
KOFIA serves as the Secretariat of the KCIE, with the Chairman of KOFIA also serving as the Chairman of the KCIE. In order to increase the reach of its investor education programs, the KCIE runs a nation-wide network, operating regional councils in eight major cities.
The KCIE aims to help investors make informed investment decisions and lifelong financial plans by offering comprehensive, tailor-made educational programs on stocks, futures and asset management, thus creating a rational investment culture and protecting investors. The KCIE works to foster better investor education, recognizing it as a core infrastructure for the establishment of an advanced capital market.
To further develop investor education and capital markets in the Asian region, the KCIE and KOFIA are preparing the inaugural meeting of the Asia Forum for Investor Education (AFIE) which will be held on February 3rd through 4th, 2010.
