US was not the top seller in this year's 214 trillion won foreign net sell-off... UK accounts for half

‌


According to the Financial Supervisory Service, the cumulative net sell-off by foreign investors in the domestic stock market from January to September this year amounts to 214 trillion won. Among this, UK-based capital accounts for 97 trillion won, or approximately 45%. During the same period, US-based capital sold off 65 trillion won. Considering that the scale of UK investment in Korean stocks (172 trillion won) is about one-sixth of the scale of US investment (1,006 trillion won), this year's net sell-off by UK capital is unusual.
Currently, foreign capital in the KOSPI is estimated to be around 1,600 trillion won. Given that US-based investment scale is the largest and considering the scale of UK investment capital, there is a high possibility that foreign net selling will gradually decrease now.
UK-based capital has sold an unusually large amount relative to its share.
