Intensified Competition in the ETF Market and Economic Trends
As the ETF market continues to grow rapidly, competition among asset management companies is intensifying. Samsung Asset Management maintains its leading position with a market share of 38.72%, while Mirae Asset Global Investments is expanding its share through overseas ETF products. Additionally, Korea Investment Management and Shinhan Asset Management have climbed to third and fifth places, respectively, with KB Asset Management focusing on strategies for pension investors to drive its growth. Each asset manager is working hard to attract clients with differentiated product strategies.
Political factors are also significantly influencing the economy. President Lee Jae-myung's ETF investments have rejuvenated the market, resulting in a rise of more than 5% within just five days. However, financial policies remain unchanged, with the household debt total restraint system continuing, presenting a persistent economic burden. The government is preparing a second supplementary budget of 20 trillion won, which is expected to lead to an increase in government bond issuance.
Meanwhile, the aviation industry, recovering from COVID-19, is seeing record-high international demand, indicating a strong recovery trend. In addition, dividend stocks are gaining popularity among investors, with last year's dividends from listed companies exceeding 32 trillion won. These developments offer new opportunities for investors.
However, the U.S. economy is showing signs of slowdown due to the impact of tariff policies. The decline in the Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) and the increasing possibility of interest rate cuts are expanding the uncertainty regarding the future of the U.S. economy, which could potentially act as a variable in the global economy.
