Surge in Covered Call and High-Dividend ETFs in the Korean Market

Recently, the Korean ETF market has seen a significant influx of capital into covered call products. Notably, the 'TIGER Semiconductor TOP10 Covered Call Active' ETF by Mirae Asset Asset Management attracted a net inflow of KRW 508.3 billion and delivered an impressive 30.94% return. Similarly, the 'KODEX 200 Target Weekly Covered Call' by Samsung Asset Management received over KRW 1.64 trillion from retail investors. This trend is largely driven by investors seeking stable monthly income amid ongoing market volatility.
Korea Investment Trust Management has announced the upcoming June listing of its 'ACE High Dividend Plus Covered Call Active ETF', which features major semiconductor names such as Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix in its portfolio. This ETF is structured as a monthly distribution product, aiming to provide returns through both stock dividends and option writing premiums, offering both regular income and potential capital gains if markets rise. Nonetheless, due to the nature of covered call strategies, returns may be limited during strong bull markets, and principal loss risks remain tied to underlying equity performance.
To educate investors, the firm has been hosting live webinars through the ACE ETF official YouTube channel 'HanTou Station', focusing on the specific investment strategy, covered call trends, and explaining risks such as option utilization and the impact of dividend cuts. Incentive events, including prize giveaways, are also being offered to seminar participants to boost engagement and interest.
