Surge in Individual Interest in Defense ETFs
According to Samsung Asset Management, the net purchases by individual investors for 'KODEX Defense TOP10' and its leverage version ETFs amounted to 110.1 billion won over two days following the onset of the U.S.-Iran conflict. This unprecedented net purchase is attributed to the heightened significance of the defense industry amidst increasing global geopolitical risks. KODEX Defense TOP10 recorded a daily return of 13.3%, while its leverage version posted an impressive 28.5% return.
Particularly, the net assets of KODEX Defense TOP10 reached 426.4 billion won as of the previous day, with approximately 25% of its total assets bought by individual investors. This indicates that amidst expanded volatility in global securities markets, defense ETFs are emerging as a relatively stable investment alternative. Additionally, the high export ratio and technological prowess of the defense industry further enhance its investment allure.
The conflict between the U.S. and Iran, along with issues like tensions in Russia and Ukraine, is also drawing increased attention to the defense industry. Individual investors are focusing on the stability and potential returns of defense ETFs even amidst a downturn in the domestic stock market, demonstrating sustainable growth potential. This trend is anticipated to have significant implications for future investment flows in the defense industry.
