South Korea is seeing a growing trend of infant investment accounts, with babies becoming “mini shareholders” as parents start investing on their behalf, according to CNBC.

The outlets attribute the shift to parents’ investment strategies that begin early, turning childhood accounts into a way to build exposure to markets from the start.
