Rapid Growth of the ETF Market
Active ETFs are gaining significant attention among investors, driven by a pursuit of high returns and the buoyancy of the domestic stock market. In Korea, the number of active ETFs has increased from 108 to 262, with assets rising 5.8 times. In the US and Europe, the launch of active ETFs has also surged, being released at twice the rate of passive ETFs. Experts anticipate that global active ETF assets could grow fivefold within the next five years.
KB Asset Management has rebranded under 'RISE', capturing the attention of individual investors, resulting in a net asset increase of 5.2317 trillion KRW. By expanding exposure to global asset classes and launching US stock-based products, KB is solidifying its market position. Following the RISE brand rollout, the company has strengthened its ETF strategies, notably reducing fees for its Nasdaq 100 and S&P 500 ETFs and achieving significant growth.
Mirae Asset Management's TIGER KRX Gold Spot ETF is drawing attention with its low-cost structure. The stringent US tariff policies have driven increased demand for gold investments, leading this ETF to record over 400 billion KRW in purchases from individual investors within a month of its listing. This trend reflects a growing demand for stable investment assets.
