US ETF Investment Notes

A 15% withholding tax applies to US ETF dividends. If annual overseas stock capital gains exceed KRW 2.5 million, a 22% capital gains tax is imposed.

Exchange rate fluctuations affect returns. When the Korean won strengthens, dollar-denominated gains may decrease — consider whether to hedge currency risk.

Brokerage fees for overseas ETF trades vary. If you trade frequently, compare fees across brokerages before choosing one.
