Korean Semiconductor ETFs Surge Amid AI Demand and Retail Inflows
Since early 2023, semiconductor-focused ETFs in Korea have experienced rapid growth, propelled by increased demand for AI infrastructure and the robust expansion of the memory chip sector. Mirae Asset's 'TIGER Semiconductor TOP10 Leverage ETF' has dominated the market, leading individual net purchases with 424.1 billion KRW and expanding its assets under management to approximately 2.5 trillion KRW, a tenfold increase since the start of the year. Its impressive return of 404.8% has attracted significant attention, with retail investors and institutional channels alike flocking to major holdings such as Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix.
Similarly, Shinhan Asset Management's 'SOL AI Semiconductor TOP2 Plus ETF' has surpassed 2 trillion KRW in assets in just two months since listing, reflecting strong investor appetite. The ETF's focus on large-cap memory stocks, particularly Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, has coincided with record-breaking share prices and continued enthusiasm from both private and institutional investors. However, as a performance dividend product, it carries inherent principal risks that investors should consider. Overall, Korean semiconductor-themed ETFs have become a market mainstay, boosted by optimism in AI and industry growth prospects.
Meanwhile, Chinese semiconductor ETFs are also performing strongly. The KODEX China AI Semiconductor TOP10 ETF recorded a 37.7% return in one month, making it the top-performing China-themed ETF in the market. Other funds like TIGER China Semiconductor FACTSET and RISE China AI Semiconductor TOP4Plus have also posted robust returns, supported by strong government backing and a national drive for technological autonomy, further improving sector sentiment.
