Shifts in the Korean ETF Market and Key Trends Among Individual Investors
Hana Asset Management has reduced the total cost of the KOSPI 200-based active ETF to an unprecedented low in the domestic representative index. This move targets long-term investors by underscoring the potential for fee differences to compound into returns over time. The ETF, which uses the KOSPI 200 index as its base, pursues excess performance through various strategies including arbitrage and IPOs, achieving a remarkable annual return of 94.99% last year. This year also forecasts continued growth in major industries and positive policy momentum.
The rise of the Kosdaq index is spurring individual investors to purchase Kosdaq ETFs. Samsung Asset Management's KODEX Kosdaq150 posted a record individual net purchase of over 1 trillion won on the 26th and 27th, marking an all-time high. As the government pushes forward policies to develop Kosdaq as a growth platform for innovative businesses, interest from individual investors is escalating. Mirae Asset Management is actively promoting events related to Kosdaq ETFs.
Leveraged ETFs that track double the Kosdaq index have recently recorded high returns. In this environment, individual investors have been making substantial investments in leveraged products, pushing cumulative net purchases of Kosdaq ETFs to 1.7 trillion won. However, there is a cautionary note about the potential for significant losses should market volatility increase, urging investors to exercise caution.
The Kosdaq index has hit its highest point since the IT bubble burst, and related ETFs continue to post high returns. In the past week, leveraged ETFs have dominated the top 1-5 positions in terms of returns, receiving robust buying support from individual investors. Notably, KODEX Kosdaq150 saw a record net purchase of 1.076 trillion won over two days, demonstrating concentrated interest from investors.
