The first useful news is about ultra-short-term investments.
These days, it is a really difficult market to predict interest rates and the financial markets.
As a result, more people are looking to roll their money over the ultra-short term rather than tying it up for a long period.
Ultra-short-term savings products with maturities of around a month are gaining popularity.
A 31-day installment savings product from one internet-only bank surpassed 600,000 accounts just four months after its launch.
Another one-month savings product also sold over 1 million accounts in six months.
Issued notes, which are short-term financial products offered by securities firms, are also seeing a rapid increase in investment funds.
The total value of funds set in money market funds (MMFs), a representative short-term product, has also increased by more than 35 trillion won compared to the end of June.
Experts predict that the preference for short-term products will likely continue for the time being as it remains difficult to forecast the direction of interest rates and stock market volatility.
