Ant's Q3 Return On Major Investment Stocks '-9%'

While the local stock market was weak in the third quarter of this year, individual investors' returns were low, data showed.

According to a survey by the Korea Exchange, Samsung Electronics was the most net buyers by individual investors from July to last month, followed by SK Hynix, Kia, and Hyundai Motor.

Seven of the top 10 net buyers fell in the third quarter, sending shares down an average of 9 percent, lower than the KOSPI's fall of 7 percent in the third quarter.
