Trends in Foreign Investor Activity and Regular Investment Services

Recently, foreign investors are anticipating a decline in the KOSPI index of the Korean stock market and have been focusing on investing in the inverse ETF 'KODEX 200 Future Inverse 2X'. From July 1 to 7, these investors bought this ETF for a total of 27.9 billion KRW, while simultaneously selling 7.3 billion KRW worth of the 'TIGER 200' ETF. This investment strategy is interpreted as a hedging method against the previously surged KOSPI index, reflecting expectations of a potential short-term market correction.
