The Korea Exchange (KRX) has revamped the mobile disclosure system (mKIND) to reinforce customers’ convenience.

A one-year savings account of 10 million won at the highest fixed interest rate of 1.9 percent as of Nov. 14 earns about 160,000 won in after-tax income, but it is insufficient and a far cry from making money as suggested by the book “Rich Dad Poor Dad” by Robert Kiosaki. Despite risks of losing the principle, the stock investment option is attractive. But for some individual investors it was not easy to invest in stocks.

They could not keep up with detailed trends, including the price movements of their main stocks.

Now there is a revamped mobile disclosure system, offering real-time disclosure services.

Major features of the overhauled mKIND include functions such as the setting of priority stocks, informing public disclosures in real time, sharing public disclosures via social network services, direct connecting with the Mobile Trading System (MTS), and the provision of other diverse market information.

People can search and download the app “mKIND” at the Google Play Store or Apple app Store or at http://mkind.krx.co.kr.

The mKIND communicates public disclosures of priority stocks and information on IR sessions of listed companies in real time.

It offers notice services on updated IPO schedules: via mobile, you can know public disclosures of companies you are interested in real time regardless of time and location. If you’re getting too many notices, you can choose your interested stocks and public disclosers and set them up.

Public disclosures can be retrieved by clicking the sections [MY Concern] and [MY Notice] If you’re getting too many notices, you can choose how often you get updates.

Regarding notifications, you can choose from 10 KRX categories. If you do not choose any priority public disclosures, notice services on all the categories are offered.

The notice services are available when you sign up for a membership after downing the mKIND app. After becoming a member of mKIND, you can register your priority stocks at the section [+] in the right, upper screen and set up each your priority stock’s public disclosure, listed company’s IR information and subscription schedule.

The revamped mKIND offers a function in which public disclosures are confirmed and shared via social network services.

If confirming public disclosures via the mKIND app, you can share them with Facebook or sending them to Kakao Talk or Line by clicking the SNS connection button in the lower bottom of the public disclosure viewer’s screen. Connection is now possible with the three social network services.

The KRX plans to expand social network services possible with connection to the Instagram and Telegram to reflect users’ needs.

The overhauled mKIND also offers the function “Direct Connection to MTS,” in the right, upper part of the public disclosure viewer so that investors can transact quickly after public disclosures are made in consideration of their tendency of determining investments according to their content.

The function can be used after you click the section [+] and set it up with the MIS with which you trade in.

 
You can search connection between stock price movements and public disclosures in the “Public Disclosure Analysis Chart” screen from the “Corporate Details” section, which also offers the function “Direct Connection to MTS.”
