Shifts and Growth in the Korean ETF Market

Samsung Active Asset Management's 'KoAct Korea Value-Up Active ETF' has been outperforming and gaining attention, recording a cumulative return of 137.3% since its listing. The portfolio focuses on semiconductors and automotive industries, expanding its net asset size to 119.7 billion won. With major holdings such as SK Hynix, Samsung Electronics, and Hyundai Motor, the ETF is strategically invested based on the Korea Value-Up Index of the Korea Exchange.
Currently, the Korean stock market is on an uptrend, with the KOSDAQ index rising by 24.4% since the beginning of the year, showcasing high investment appeal. This is interlinked with the government's KOSDAQ revitalization policies and the inflow of funds from individual investors, significantly boosting demand for Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs). The industry anticipates that with policy optimism and liquidity, the KOSDAQ index could surge up to the threshold of 1,500 points.
Additionally, individual investor funds have been concentrated in leveraged ETFs, exhibiting high returns and high downside risks. The leveraged ETF tracking KOSDAQ 150 has seen gains of over 70%, while inverse ETFs betting against the index have declined by over 25%. Such investments rely heavily on short-term directional movement, raising concerns among investors about market volatility.
Mirae Asset Management's 'TIGER KOSDAQ150 ETF' is also gaining attention, surpassing 1 trillion won in total net assets. The combination of a low-cost strategy and competitive leverage ETFs catered to aggressive investors supports its performance. Expectations for growth in key industries within KOSDAQ and policy changes have driven fund inflows, and there is optimism about future prospects.
