Analyzing Market Changes and Impact of Kosdaq Active ETFs
Kosdaq active exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are expected to play a leading role within the Kosdaq market. The new pension fund evaluation methods, corporate cleanup policies, and discussions on greater operational flexibility of active ETFs are anticipated to contribute to market revitalization.
In particular, DB Securities analyzes that a stock-centric market phase is likely within the Kosdaq sphere due to institutional changes and the spread of active ETFs, allowing for diversified strategies and increased stock influence.
In Hong Kong, the behavior of investors disposing Samsung Electronics 2x leverage ETFs while acquiring SK Hynix 2x leverage ETFs is noteworthy. The burgeoning trend of share buybacks also stands out, with over 50 listed companies adopting similar approaches, estimated to involve around 24 trillion won.
Since the listing of two active ETFs, low-liquidity stocks have experienced significant funds inflow and price volatility following the ETF listing. Notably, stocks involved in the KoAct Kosdaq Active have witnessed trading volumes surge by 3 to 5 times, suggesting a potential shift to a stock-centric market phase in the Kosdaq market.
