Reference excerpt

The Korea Financial Investment Association (KOFIA; Korean: 금융투자협회; RR: Geumnyung Tuja Hyeophoe) is a non-profit, self-regulatory organization (SRO) in South Korea, founded under the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act. It was established on February 4, 2009 through the merger of the Korea Securities Dealers Association, the Korea Futures Association, and the Asset Management Association of Korea.

Overview KOFIA's goals are to ensure fair business practices among members, the fair trading of securities and investor protection, and the development of the nation’s capital market and financial investment services industry. KOFIA performs five major functions: self-regulation, market management, upgrading the financial investment industry, the education and training of professionals, and fostering a sound investment culture. As the primary SRO, KOFIA oversees a wide spectrum of areas in the Korean financial investment industry. All securities, asset management and futures firms in Korea are KOFIA members and are subject to KOFIA’s self-regulatory operations. Previously having launched KOSDAQ, KOFIA is now operating FreeBoard, an OTC Bulletin Board, and the OTC Bond Market. KOFIA offers services such as making policy recommendations, providing member services and guiding the globalization of the Korean financial industry. By operating the Korea Institute of Financial Investment (KIFIN), KOFIA cultivates industry professionals. As a founding member of the International Forum for Investor Education (IFIE), KOFIA established the Korea Council for Investor Education (KCIE), which works to instill a sound investment culture, pioneering investor education in Korea. KOFIA consists of 244 members as of the end of July 2009. KOFIA also oversees the licensing of investment professionals such as Certified Securities Investment Advisors and Certified Derivatives Investment Advisors.

History Korea's Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act was enacted to advance the Korean financial market by improving the competitive edge of the nation's capital market and financial investment industry. In response, the Korea Securities Dealers Association, the Asset Management Association of Korea and the Korea Futures Association merged to form the Korea Financial Investment Association (KOFIA) in February 2009.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Korea Financial Investment Association

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Korea Financial Investment Association claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Korea Financial Investment Association before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Korea Financial Investment Association ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Korea Financial Investment Association

In research: Korea Financial Investment Association appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Korea Financial Investment Association in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Korea Financial Investment Association is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 2009 establishments in South Korea, Arbitration organizations, Finance in South Korea, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
