(Mirae Asset Securities) Mirae Asset Securities said Monday it has launched a foreign investor omnibus account service through a partnership with Singapore-based brokerage UOB Kay Hian, in a move aimed at improving overseas investors' access to South Korean equities.The service was developed through Mirae Asset Securities' Singapore subsidiary and is expected to broaden access to the Korean stock market for investors in Singapore and across Southeast Asia.UOB Kay Hian is the brokerage arm of Singapore-listed UOB Kay Hian Holdings.
