A healthy ideology flourishes only when every participant is granted—and actively encouraged to pursue—upward mobility through fair effort and achievement. Yet, in securities investment and the redistribution of capital, knowledge has become specialized, centralized, and siloed by country. Income gaps that might once have seemed justifiable now translate directly into gaps in investment opportunity. The chance to become a shareholder and a capitalist is far from equal.

The global securities‑data ecosystem operates in silos. Exchanges generate raw data, vendors fragment it, and brokerages struggle to integrate the pieces efficiently. News organizations cannot analyze fast enough, so investors trade on incomplete information. Every year, this structural inefficiency wastes an estimated ₩500 trillion and deepens the gap in market access.

Everyone says they want to build wealth, yet most people cannot see the market’s full flow, don’t know which sources to trust, and are unsure where to begin. Market information is too often packaged as sensational content that prioritizes trading activity over genuine returns. Investors, confined to limited data and a distorted structure, end up relying on instinct—decisions that frequently lead to unrecognized risk.

This is not merely a technical or informational glitch. It is a warning that the social contract underpinning shareholder capitalism—the idea that anyone can become an owner and build capital—is starting to erode. Nations embracing this model are facing a crisis of legitimacy.
