Retail Investors Sell Leveraged and KOSDAQ ETFs, Shift Funds to AI, Semiconductor, and US ETFs
Over the past month, retail investors have sold more than 2 trillion KRW worth of leveraged ETFs focused on KOSPI, KOSDAQ, and semiconductors, primarily to realize short-term gains amid sharply rising returns. This trend reflects a move to capitalize on the recent surge in leveraged ETF performance. Meanwhile, funds are increasingly being reallocated to AI- and semiconductor-related ETFs, as well as US equity ETFs, with substantial buying inflows observed in these sectors.
The investment appeal of the KOSDAQ market has recently diminished, leading to persistent capital outflows from KOSDAQ ETFs, particularly 'KODEX KOSDAQ150' and other major products, which have seen net selling for more than 20 consecutive trading sessions. Pharmaceutical and biotech sector challenges have further dented investor sentiment. In response, the government is aiming to boost the KOSDAQ market through measures such as launching a national growth fund and implementing a market upgrade system. As large-cap KOSPI stocks outperform, KOSDAQ's relative attractiveness continues to decrease.
