Asia

South Korea equity markets.

Black Haven Investments provides liquidity around block trades in South Korea-listed equity: off-market or negotiated-price execution, risk taken on the line itself, and the large-holding disclosure that follows a substantial transfer managed end to end. The market is overseen by Financial Services Commission / Financial Supervisory Service (FSC / FSS).

03 · FAQ

South Korea · Block Trades

What holders ask about South Korea.

01How do you execute a South Korea block trade?

We work the line off the order book, off-market or at a negotiated price, and the block is then printed to Korea Exchange (KRX) under its block-trade rules. Black Haven Investments can take all or part of the risk on the line, so the seller achieves a clean exit at an agreed price.

02How large a block can you handle in South Korea?

It depends on the stock’s free float, daily traded volume and volatility. We assess each line on its merits and indicate a workable size and price range after reviewing the position.

03Does the block trade have to be disclosed?

Often, yes. A substantial transfer by a significant shareholder is generally disclosable under the relevant regime overseen by FSC / FSS. We manage the sequencing and wording of any required notification around the trade.

04Can you finance the buyer of the block?

Yes. A block can be paired with a stock loan to the acquirer, so the newly acquired South Korea-listed line serves immediately as collateral for the financing that funds it.
