KSD – History and Timeline Mature Phase (2000-2005) Growth Phase (1994-1999) Initial Phase (1974-1993) KSSC Established Centralized Deposit Beneficiary shareholder system introduced FundNet launching Intl. Consulting & Infra Export IT Back-up Center KSD reborn on SEA International Services OTC Bond DVP settlement SLB, Repo, etc. KSD was first established in 1974 as the Korea Securities Settlement Corporation. At that time, it was established under the Commercial Code, and was a wholly owned subsidiary of the Korea Stock Exchange. With the rapid development of the front office, however, a stable and efficient back office infrastructure became vital. So, in 1994, the KSSC was renamed into the Korea Securities Depository and KSD became the only central securities depository under the Securities and Exchange Act. In addition, the ownership structure of KSD became more user-friendly with about 100 shareholders. Since its establishment, KSD has expanded its service areas not only by providing centralized deposit of securities for the domestic market but also by facilitating cross-border securities settlement, forming a cross-border clearing network covering 42 countries and launching the American Home Trading System. In addition, KSD opened the indirect investment asset deposit and settlement system called FundNet, positioning itself as the hub of the Korean Asset Management Industry. In a nutshell, the history of KSD is the history of challenges and responses and at the time the history of tireless march into new service areas.
