Trends in South Korea-related ETFs and China Securities Themed ETF
South Korea's stock market has shown a remarkable rise, positively influencing South Korea-related ETFs listed on the U.S. stock exchange. The iShares MSCI South Korea ETF (EWY) and the Franklin FTSE South Korea ETF (FLKR) have notably attracted significant inflows. These ETFs benefit from the earnings growth of major companies like Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, driven by factors such as the AI semiconductor supercycle and government valuation enhancement programs. Notably, the EWY has achieved a 1-year return of 140.42%, placing it in the top 1% of all equity ETFs.
Mirae Asset Global Investments has launched a new ETF focusing on Chinese securities firms, named 'TIGER China Securities ETF.' This ETF comprises a portfolio of major securities firms from mainland China and Hong Kong, selected based on market capitalization and liquidity, consisting of 12 stocks. Through regular rebalancing, the investment weights are adjusted to capitalize on the rise in stock investments within China and household fund flows into the stock market. This new ETF offers an opportunity to invest in the growth of the Chinese securities market, with expectations for positive long-term returns.
