Geopolitical Tensions and Shifts in the Domestic ETF Market

As tensions escalate in the Middle East due to the U.S.'s preemptive strikes, there's an increasing flow of capital into ETFs investing in domestic defense companies. Hanwha Asset Management remains the leader, while Samsung and Mirae Asset Management join the fray, intensifying market competition.
The geopolitical risks in the Middle East are also causing volatility in international oil prices, drawing attention to 'KIWOOM 미국원유에너지기업 ETF' by Kiwoom Asset Management. This ETF focuses on major U.S. energy companies, including ExxonMobil and Chevron, and has exceeded 50 billion won in net assets. With significant rises in returns this year, it is attracting considerable investor interest.
Additionally, Jo Il-woong, head of equity management at Hanwha, optimistically predicts that the KOSDAQ index could rise by 50% and is actively participating in the market through the listing of the 'PLUS KOSDAQ150 Active' ETF. The portfolio is designed with the KOSDAQ150 index as a benchmark, focusing on diverse growing sectors such as energy, robotics, beauty, and content, intending to drive long-term growth.
