Rapid Evolution and New Strategic Products in the Domestic Options ETF Market
The domestic options ETF market is stepping into a new phase. Recently, innovative strategic products like covered call and buffer-type ETFs have been gaining attention, notably with the launch of a second-generation covered call ETF in 2024 that addresses structural limitations. This has increased interest from individual investors, highlighting the need for asset protection and cost-effective, high-efficiency investments.
Comparatively, the growth rate of the domestic market is prominent even against the U.S., further boosting the potential development of the options ETF market. With surging demand for risk management following global stock market fluctuations and record highs in the U.S. markets, Samsung Asset Management and Kiwoom Asset Management have introduced 'buffer-type ETF' and 'loss-avoidance ETF', respectively. This reflects investors' concerns about loss avoidance and a focus on alternative investment strategies.
The volatility of the S&P500 index, potential overheating of U.S. markets, and tariff issues remain primary concerns, accentuating differences in perspectives between asset managers and investors. While investors still lean towards the possibility of market rallies, asset managers are prioritizing defensive strategies.
