What Newsystock does
Newsystock is the largest quantitative investment platform in Korea, founded in 2011 and headquartered in Seoul as a subsidiary of iM Financial Group (formerly DGB Financial Group). The company builds no-code quantitative investment software for individual retail investors trading Korean equities, US equities (NYSE/NASDAQ), and virtual assets, and licenses the same technology to Korean securities firms for embedding inside their own brokerage apps. Its product portfolio centers on NewsyRank (quantitative stock scoring and ranking across 18+ indicators and six universes), GenPort (DIY no-code robo-advisor for strategy creation, backtesting, and reservation trading), PortAI (a 2025-launched generative-AI service that converts natural language prompts into stock searches, strategies, and execution), Coin GenPort (a 24-hour automated cryptocurrency trading platform integrated with Coinone), and GenTrader (automated order execution connecting strategies to partner securities firm HTS systems). Underlying technology includes patent-registered chart analytics (Enbel, Seasonal, Long-term charts), a backtesting engine supporting daily/tick/monthly bar data, portfolio optimization modules (risk parity, minimum dispersion, maximum diversification, momentum rebalancing, direct indexing), and a Gen-learning algorithm that passed KOSCOM's RATB securities technology audit.

Revenue model
- Membership/Subscription Fees: Newsystock generates revenue primarily through tiered membership subscriptions (FREE, BASIC, STANDARD, PREMIUM, PRO) with monthly and annual billing options. The membership tiers provide access to different levels of backtesting, strategy generation, and other platform features. Revenue is collected directly from end-user retail investors via the company's website and mobile apps.
- Securities Firm Partnership / B2B Licensing: Newsystock provides its quantitative analysis services (뉴지랭크, 젠포트) to partner securities firms through licensing and integration agreements. Securities firms embed Newsystock's technology within their own platforms to serve their customers, generating revenue through B2B partnership arrangements.
- Strategy Fees / Algorithm Sales: Users can purchase paid algorithms and strategies on the platform's market. When paid algorithms underperform beyond their initial MDD (Maximum Drawdown) thresholds, the platform compensates buyers with coupons convertible to cash equivalent. This creates a revenue stream from algorithm strategy sales.
- Academy / Educational Content: Newsystock offers paid educational content through its Academy (아카데미) including video lectures (동영상 강의), e-books (전자책 강의) by noted investors, covering investing strategies, algorithms, and quantitative investing techniques. Revenue is generated from course and content purchases.
