Shifts and Uptrends in the Domestic ETF Market

In the domestic stock market, ETFs focusing on dividends are becoming increasingly popular. This surge is closely related to President Lee Jae-myung's emphasis on expanding dividend income, resulting in an influx of 2.25 trillion won into domestic high-dividend ETFs this year. These ETFs invest in blue-chip stocks that offer high dividends, targeting a yield twice that of bank deposit rates. Hanwha Asset Management's 'PLUS High-Dividend ETF' has surpassed 1 trillion won in net assets, establishing itself successfully in the market. Meanwhile, their 'PLUS Repurchase High-Dividend ETF' focuses on shareholder returns through buybacks. Kiwoom Asset Management's 'KIWOOM Korea High Dividend & US AI Tech' ETF, a hybrid product comprising domestic high-dividend stocks and US AI tech stocks, is drawing attention. Shinhan Asset Management's 'SOL Korea High Dividend' ETF aims for an annual dividend yield of 6% and anticipates offering tax benefits on dividend income.
Thanks to a rally led by Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, KOSPI reached an all-time high, with semiconductor-related ETFs soaring correspondingly. Notably, the 'TIGER Semiconductor TOP10 Leverage' ETF topped the weekly earnings chart with a significant 22.74% gain. Samsung Electronics rose by 5% and SK Hynix by 7.4% over the week. Despite the rally, average returns for equity funds were stable at 3.75% domestically and 1.88% abroad. In terms of capital flow, there was a consistent inflow into bond funds and money market funds (MMF), indicating that investments in safe assets are being pursued alongside equity investments.
