Fund managers say South Korea looks too risky

Article Abstract:

Majority of fund managers have aggressively reduced their already-trimmed holdings in South Korea's stock market amid another depreciation of the won and the stock market. Moreover, new concerns that are emerging about the condition of the country's financial sector as well as the soundness of its conglomerates have led to few investors who are ready to go back to the market.
