The main purpose of modern banking regulation is to prevent system risk, while that of the securities businesses regulation is to protect investors and efficiency of capital market. Therefore, the entry regulation of securities businesses has a pivotal role to prevent unsuitable firms from doing securities businesses in the capital market enhancing investor protection and promoting market efficiency. Securities firms are superior to investors in terms of information and therefore are in conflicts of interest according to the agency theory. Accordingly, the proper and efficient entry regulation of securities firms is necessary to secure investor protection and the soundness, fairness and reliability of the capital market. However, the current entry regulation of securities firms under the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act ("FSCMA") is unreasonably strong. Currently, entry units are excessively subdivided, which in practice acts as an entry barrier and hindrance to business extension. For instance, there are cases in which the individual entry unit itself is not meaningful enough to be able to perform specific services only if it has to receive multiple unit authorisation at the same time. As a result, unlike the original purpose of deregulation, the level of entry regulation has been substantially higher. In this respect, it would be desirable to significantly simplify the entry unit of the securities businesses, as in the case of U.S. and U.K., which could ensure the business scalability inherent in the capital market. In addition, the entry capital requirements for entry must also be significantly reduced. This is because the strict and heavy entry capital requirement deter financial innovation and diversity in the capital markets Of course, some entry units that are at a high risk or in need of higher investor protection, the entry capital requirements should be relatively high. Even in this case, however, it is desirable that the absolute level of the entry capital requirement should be significantly mitigated. The current high entry regulation is partially due to the policy consideration to foster the securities industry through the restriction of competition and to enhance the credibility of the securities industry. However, for the creative risk taking and the emergence of new securities firms operating in various sectors, material mitigation of entry capital requirements is essential. In short, the license system for the securities businesses should be simplified, and the entry barriers should be lowered.
