Trends in Core Export Industry and Carbon Emissions Futures ETFs

Korea Investment Management has announced the listing of the ACE K-Export Core TOP10 Industries Active ETF. This product invests in leading companies across 10 major Korean export sectors, such as semiconductors, shipbuilding, and K-food, and aims to reduce sector concentration risk by including at least one stock from each sector. Its benchmark is the iSelect K-Export Core Industries Index, while the portfolio can be adjusted flexibly depending on market shifts. Investors, therefore, gain exposure to both the growth potential and diversification advantages of Korea’s leading export industries.
Meanwhile, the rapid adoption of AI technologies has significantly increased power demand at data centers, contributing to strong returns for carbon emissions futures ETFs. Shinhan Asset Management’s ‘SOL European Carbon Emissions Futures S&P (H·Hedge)’ ETF recorded a 1-week return of 11.29%, ranking first among all domestic ETFs. The combination of AI industry growth and tighter climate regulations has led to a surge in both demand and trading volumes for carbon credits. Additionally, carbon assets are increasingly being discussed as foundational assets for security token offerings (STOs), broadening their financial market relevance. In parallel, South Korea and China have agreed to strengthen climate cooperation, reflecting growing international collaboration.
