Korean ETF Market Sees Influx of New Products Targeting Exporters and Emerging Sectors
Korea Investment Management is launching the 'ACE K Export Core TOP10 Active ETF', focusing on export-driven Korean companies expected to benefit from the current strong won-dollar exchange rate. The ETF includes leading companies from ten key industries, ranging from traditional sectors like semiconductors and shipbuilding, to K-culture fields such as cosmetics, food, and content production. A high exchange rate environment is anticipated to increase export firms' earnings and price competitiveness, and the ETF selects companies with robust margin power capable of offsetting input cost increases, maintaining flexibility in response to market changes. While the strategy allows for concentrated investments, diversification is sustained across industries, and the fund is expected to perform strongly in the long term.
On the 31st, a total of seven new ETFs will be listed on KOSPI. Samsung Asset Management will launch an ETF focused on U.S. AI optical communication network companies, while Woori Asset Management will focus on Doosan Group-related companies. Hana, Kiwoom, Hanwha, and Daishin Asset Management will each introduce ETFs targeting diverse themes, including spot market prices, U.S. growth stocks, global copyright companies, and office REITs. Meanwhile, Wall Street-based Rex Shares plans to launch the world’s first 2x leveraged ETF tracking SK hynix’s U.S. ADR performance. This wave of new listings offers investors broader opportunities to access key Korean exporters, innovative technologies, and global investment themes.
