Among the top holdings of Samsung Securities' clients are major U.S. tech stocks, including Tesla, Nvidia, Apple, and Microsoft. Additionally, index-based ETFs have gained significant popularity, appearing prominently among the most-held assets.

To enhance customer convenience, Samsung Securities offers a range of services, including the mPOP mobile app, which allows customers to trade European stocks, and a consolidated margin service, enabling customers to trade overseas stocks directly in Korean won.
