For the first time ever, the market capitalization of KOSDAQ has surpassed KRW 500 trillion. It's a significant milestone that is the result of a steady stream of venture and technology companies going public. However, the market is not without its challenges. Individual investors are still over-represented, and institutional funds such as pension funds are still shying away from KOSDAQ. High turnover rates, frequent theme stock booms and busts, unfair trade and zombie companies are also eating away at trust. The key is whether the government's announced measures to revitalize KOSDAQ will go beyond mere tax incentives to restructuring distressed companies and establishing a fair exit system. In order for the 500 trillion won figure to translate into real growth, we need to look at 'how much it has risen' rather than 'how strong it has become'. #kosdaq #500trillion #koreanstock #ventureinvestment #equityinvestment #individualinvestors #zombiecompanies #unfairtrade
