Innovation and Shifts in the Korean ETF Market
Samsung Active Asset Management and Timefolio Asset Management have successfully launched two active ETFs, 'KoAct Kosdaq Active' and 'TIME Kosdaq Active', drawing significant interest from individual investors. These ETFs utilize active management strategies to outperform the Kosdaq index, allowing for flexibility in stock inclusion and weight adjustments. Notably, 'KoAct Kosdaq Active' has shown remarkable performance, prompting financial authorities to initiate a review of potential excessive disclosure in asset management firms' marketing practices.
Meanwhile, Shinhan Asset Management plans to launch a new ETF named 'SOL 200 Target Weekly Covered Call', in response to the high volatility of the domestic stock market. This ETF aims to achieve an annual 15% option premium income by investing in the KOSPI 200 index and selling call options on a weekly basis. By offering monthly dividends and tax exemption benefits, it provides additional incentives for investors, allowing them to expect more stable returns.
