Analysis of Individual and Institutional Investor Trends in the KOSDAQ Market
Samsung Asset Management has announced that the 'KODEX KOSDAQ150' ETF saw an all-time high in individual net purchases on the 26th. Individual investors net purchased approximately 595.2 billion KRW, with total trading volumes reaching 2.26 trillion KRW. This indicates an increasing trend for individual investors to shift their preferences from the KOSPI to the KOSDAQ index.
Recently, the KOSDAQ index surged over 7%, breaking the 1000 points mark for the first time in four years. Institutional investors marked a record high net purchase of 2.6217 trillion KRW in the KOSDAQ market, whereas individual investors recorded a net sale of 2.9138 trillion KRW. This discrepancy is partially due to a rush among individuals towards KOSDAQ150 ETFs, with ETF deviation rates also expanding to a maximum of 0.50%.
The KOSDAQ market has been attracting significant attention due to large-scale investments from both individual and institutional investors. Individuals have shown a trend to net purchase around 2 trillion KRW in KOSDAQ ETFs, while institutions have net purchased an unprecedented 4.2738 trillion KRW. As a result, there is growing anticipation for a '3000 KOSDAQ', with the KOSPI index also reaching a record-high surpassing 5000 points. Experts caution against the potential for overheating in the KOSDAQ due to high price-to-earnings ratios, even as government venture capital policies are seen as encouraging.
