KOSCOM is Korea's leading financial IT company, responsible for the nation's capital market infrastructure. The company collects and processes financial market data generated across Korea's capital markets and provides market information and technology services to financial institutions.
Through this partnership, the two organizations will combine KOSCOM's financial data with EXAONE Business Intelligence (EXAONE BI), LG AI Research's AI-powered financial agent built on its globally recognized forecasting technology, to develop an AI prediction and analysis service tailored to the Korean stock market.
Developed by LG AI Research, EXAONE BI is a financial AI system in which multiple AI agents collaborate to perform data analysis, reasoning, forecasting, and commentary generation, helping organizations make complex business and investment decisions.
LG AI Research has established a strong track record of applying AI forecasting technologies across various domains, including lithium price forecasting, demand forecasting, and AI-powered exchange-traded funds (AI ETFs).
Built on EXAONE BI, AI-Powered Equity Forecast Score (AEFS) is a financial data product that predicts the expected price movement of individual stocks over the next four weeks while providing AI-generated commentary explaining the rationale behind each prediction.
A key differentiator of the service is its explainability. Every day, AEFS analyzes approximately 8,000 stocks listed on Korean and U.S. exchanges, delivering stock-specific forecast scores together with professional-grade analytical commentary. Rather than simply predicting future price movements, the service explains the reasoning behind each forecast, enabling investors to make more informed, data-driven investment decisions.
LG AI Research has previously partnered with the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) to launch an AI-powered forecasting and analysis service for U.S.-listed equities, bringing its financial AI capabilities to the global market.
As the Korean stock market has shown strong momentum this year, interest in data related to Korean listed companies has grown among global financial institutions and institutional investors. At the same time, increased market volatility has driven rising demand for AI-powered forecasting and analytical insights.
Under the partnership, KOSCOM will provide the financial data required to analyze the Korean stock market, including domestic trading data, corporate disclosures, and Korean macroeconomic indicators. Leveraging these datasets, LG AI Research has optimized EXAONE BI's time-series forecasting and data analytics capabilities for the unique characteristics of the Korean market.
The two organizations plan to deliver AI-powered forecasting and analysis services tailored to the Korean stock market to customers both in Korea and internationally by combining KOSCOM's domestic customer network with the global distribution channels of the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG), a long-standing partner of LG AI Research.
"The combination of trusted financial data and advanced AI technology is becoming increasingly critical in the AI era," said Changhyun Yoon, President & CEO of KOSCOM. "By bringing together KOSCOM's financial data expertise and LG AI Research's AI capabilities, we will deliver differentiated financial information services. Building on this launch, we will continue introducing new AI-powered products and lead the AI transformation of the financial industry."
To ensure the reliability of the service, LG AI Research and KOSCOM will continuously evaluate the validity of the evidence used to generate forecast scores and the quality and completeness of AI-generated commentary, minimizing hallucinations that may occur during AI analysis and explanation generation.
"In financial markets, it is just as important for AI to explain why it reaches a particular conclusion as it is to make accurate forecasts," said Woohyung Lim, Co-President of LG AI Research. "Leveraging LG's AI technologies, we will provide trusted insights to institutional and individual investors around the world while driving innovation in AI-powered financial services."
