What is The Rules of Yunjanghyeok jeo Investing about?

Yunjanghyeok jeo 투자의 법칙 (The Rules of Yunjanghyeok jeo Investing) is a personal-finance book that bills itself as "Yunjanghyeok jeo read through 100,000 real redemption records." Yunjanghyeok jeo stands for equity-linked securities. Instead of experience and gut feeling, it sets investing standards from the data itself, comparing real results across coupons, underlying assets, knock-in barriers and early redemption.

I had been waiting a long while for this finance book. These days I try to read whatever catches my eye, so I left it in the living room and read it a little at a time whenever I had a moment. Reading instead of watching TV and scrolling my phone, and adding +1 to my knowledge, feels so rewarding!

Can a complete finance beginner understand this Yunjanghyeok jeo book?

Honestly, for a complete beginner this isn't a book you understand in one read. I think I'll need to read it three or four more times before the year is out. Yunjanghyeok jeo investing is sooo hard 🤔

I'm someone who knows nothing about finance and has only bought a few Samseong Electronics shares. Since getting married I've been trying to open my eyes to it bit by bit! It's an unfamiliar field, so it's not even fun (haha) and I'm not really interested, but every goal I have ends up requiring me to put money to work, so I'm grudgingly learning one thing at a time. Money-saving knowledge +1, and this time I dipped just a toe into Yunjanghyeok jeo with this book..^ㅠ^

It would be nice if someone just told me "do it this way!", but living my busy daily life I find researching this stuff a hassle, so I decided to learn the basics from one book and move forward step by step. Want to study together..? 😊 If you order it, it arrives the next day or even the same evening. Hoho

Of the Yunjanghyeok jeo that ended in a loss, a terrifying 85.11% were concentrated in the -60% to -30% range..

Seen this simply, can Yunjanghyeok jeo investing really be called safe? And conversely, when losses do happen, which products do they happen in..? It's hard.. The book answers this most common question with real data, not gut feeling or experience.

For a book review it felt awkward to photograph every single line, and I didn't know what to post, so I just snapped pages I read here and there.

Coupons, knock-in barriers and underlying assets explained

Body page of ELS 투자의 법칙
Book page on ELS coupon and underlying asset conditions
Book page on ELS knock-in and early redemption conditions
Book page comparing ELS results by condition

The book shows how real results changed depending on conditions like the time of purchase, underlying assets, coupon, knock-in barrier, early redemption terms and fair value. Ah.. starting with this, what even is a coupon, and what do coupon and knock-in mean in investing..

  • High coupon = good product??
  • Do more underlying assets mean spread-out risk??
  • Are no-knock-in products safe??

It untangles these questions well for anyone with even a little interest in Yunjanghyeok jeo investing.
