KOSPI 200 ETF Surpasses S&P 500 ETF in Size, Single Stock Leverage ETF Listing Approved
In the ETF market, the KOSPI 200 ETF has surpassed the S&P 500 ETF in terms of size. The total assets under management for the KOSPI 200 ETF stand at 36 trillion KRW, exceeding the 29 trillion KRW managed by the S&P 500 ETF. As market competition intensifies, fund managers are engaging in fee reduction battles to increase their share in products based on the country's leading indices.
The government has decided to allow the listing of single-stock leverage ETFs domestically. This move is interpreted as an effort to enhance the competitiveness of the ETF market and prevent the outflow of investment funds abroad. The rising interest of domestic investors in the Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix 2x leveraged ETFs listed overseas has accelerated the trend toward regulatory improvements. Nevertheless, experts caution about the potential for increased volatility associated with single-stock leverage ETFs and emphasize the need for investors to approach them cautiously.
