Surge in Active ETFs in the Domestic Market

This year, the domestic ETF market saw significant growth in active ETFs. The total net asset value increased by 31.3%, surpassing the passive ETF growth rate of 30.5%. Active ETFs tracking the Nasdaq 100 index stood out with a 13% gain, significantly outperforming the 2.6% rise of passive ETFs. This strong performance is largely attributed to their higher adaptability to market changes.
The rise of active ETFs is not limited to domestic markets; it is increasingly prominent globally, with growing interest from investors. The ability to rapidly incorporate new and surging stocks into portfolios is an appealing factor for investors.
Meanwhile, Timefolio Asset Management has emerged as a leading player in the domestic active ETF market. As of August 2023, they manage over 2 trillion won in assets, marking a threefold increase from the previous year. The TIMEFOLIO Global AI Active ETF, in particular, has drawn personal investors due to its high returns.
