The luncheon meeting was hosted by Kim Jae-joon, chief executive officer of the KOSDAQ market.

The participants "discussed the need for the KOSDAQ's marketing to benchmark the US NASDAQ, which has taken root as a high-tech innovation market," the KRX said.

Those foreign investors asked the KRX to develop various types of investment vehicles including futures and derivatives, it added. (Yonhap)
