ETF Market Expands Across Aerospace, Copyright, and Biotech Themes
Korean asset management firms are ramping up the launch of aerospace-themed ETFs, fueled by expectations surrounding SpaceX's potential IPO. While Korea Investment & Securities and Shinan Asset Management are preparing new products, Samsung Asset Management and Hana Asset Management already have related ETFs in the market. The anticipated listing of SpaceX could significantly influence sector ETF portfolios, though short-term momentum is limited for the aerospace theme outside of SpaceX, and investors should remain alert to high volatility and return fluctuations in this sector.
Hanwha Asset Management is set to introduce the 'PLUS Global Core Copyright Company Active ETF', focusing on global copyright and intellectual property industries. This fund targets major content companies such as Netflix, Walt Disney, Spotify, and Sony Group. Characterized by diverse revenue structures—including subscriptions, IP origins, and AI data licensing—the fund aims to capitalize on growing demand for AI training data and improved IP profitability, both seen as future growth drivers.
In the biotech sector, Mirae Asset's 'TIGER Technology Transfer Bio Active ETF' has attracted strong investor interest, surpassing KRW 100 billion in assets within just two weeks of listing. This surge is attributed to the revitalization of the KOSDAQ market and the strong performance of the biotechnology sector. The expiration of patents held by global big pharma companies expands technology transfer opportunities for biotech firms, making related active ETFs increasingly appealing and reflecting the diversification and intensifying competition in thematic ETF markets.
