Especially, the introduction of investment banks, improvement of the regulatory system for the asset management industry, reformation of the capital market's infrastructure, and substantiation of direct financing for listed companies will provide a contribution to some degree in recognition of the scale and size of the Korean economy. This article analyses the effect of the introduction of investment banks under the revised bill of the Capital Markets Act.
