Rising Demand for Maturity-Matched Bond ETFs Amid Volatility
In the wake of heightened stock market and interest rate volatility, investors are channeling their funds into maturity-matched bond ETFs that promise stable returns. The KODEX 26-12 Bond Active ETF, which invests in financial bonds maturing in December 2026, has gained traction by offering stable returns in an uncertain interest rate environment. Over the past month, approximately 1.2733 trillion won has flowed into this ETF, reflecting a growing interest among investors seeking stability amid domestic and international interest rate uncertainty.
This trend is further influenced by factors such as the interest rate policies of central banks, including the Bank of Korea, and the potential interest rate hikes by the Bank of Japan. Investors are increasingly turning towards products with fixed maturity and interest rates to secure stability in a volatile market. As global uncertainty continues, these maturity-matched bond ETFs are expected to attract ongoing interest from those looking to mitigate risk.
