Intensifying Competition in Korea's Sovereign AI ETF Market

Samsung Asset Management is expanding its investment in AI infrastructure by newly listing the 'Korea Sovereign AI ETF.' Aligning with the Korean government's AI policy initiatives, investments in major companies like Naver and SK hynix aim to enhance the nation's AI competitiveness. Amid intense competition between Hana Asset Management and Samsung Asset Management, the sovereign AI-targeted ETF market is rapidly expanding. These ETFs invest in diverse sectors including semiconductors, data centers, cloud, and software, contributing to the overall build-out of AI infrastructure across industries.
Samsung's 'KODEX Korea Sovereign AI' ETF encompasses a wide range of sectors, including software, semiconductors, data centers, and power infrastructure. This reflects a market shift from policy-driven concepts to industrial applications, with the potential for long-term capital inflows serving as a catalyst for normalizing the KOSPI. Director Inbong emphasizes the focus on infrastructure investment structures to differentiate from software-centric products.
Ultimately, Samsung Asset Management is facilitating the acceleration of AI-based innovation and industrial applications. The launch of this ETF contributes to positioning sovereign AI as a new investment domain in capital markets. It provides investors with new opportunities and is seen as a crucial component in the advancement of Korea's AI industry.
