KOSDAQ Index Surge and the Expansion of ETF Investments by Individual Investors
Last month, the KOSDAQ index broke through the 1,000-point barrier, with institutional investors' net purchases exceeding 10 trillion won for the first time. This phenomenon was fueled by massive purchases of KOSDAQ ETFs, especially the 'KODEX KOSDAQ150', by individual investors, leading to increased financial investment and notable market activation.
Individual investors have primarily accessed the market through KOSDAQ ETFs, contributing to the index's rise alongside institutional investors' large-scale investments. Conversely, profit-taking through the sale of individual stocks has also risen, increasing KOSDAQ's turnover rate. The securities industry perceives that the government's market activation policies underpin these developments, with continued inflow of KOSDAQ-related funds expected.
Notably, ETFs like Samsung Asset Management's 'KODEX KOSDAQ150' and Mirae Asset's 'TIGER KOSDAQ150 Biotech' are attracting attention. As the KOSDAQ index has surged recently, the interest and capital influx into these ETFs by individuals reflect the expectations of future growth alongside the government's market nurturing plans.
Experts believe that the domestic stock market remains relatively undervalued, with ample potential for further upward movement. Moreover, the influx of long-term investment funds is increasing, with pension accounts playing a crucial role in driving the KOSDAQ market. Meanwhile, some skepticism remains, with opinions suggesting the necessity for solid earnings to support the rally.
