Shifts in Domestic ETF Market Trends
The recent trends in the domestic ETF market indicate a decreasing appeal of leveraged ETFs, with a notable shift towards large-cap and leading stock investments. Funds amounting to 1,789 billion KRW and 1,401 billion KRW were withdrawn from KODEX KOSDAQ150 leverage and KODEX leverage, respectively. Conversely, substantial inflows were noted in large-cap and defense sector-related ETFs like TIGER TOP10 and PLUS K defense, with 1,881 billion KRW and 1,244 billion KRW flowing in respectively, suggesting that investors are moving towards more stable assets to avoid volatility.
Interest in high-dividend stocks has also grown, driven by the government's strengthened dividend policy, attracting over 800 billion KRW into related high-dividend ETFs. In line with this, investors are increasingly interested in short-term investments as a strategy against volatility, evident from significant inflows of 2,585 billion KRW and 2,501 billion KRW into the TIGER Short-term Bond Active and RISE Short-term Special Bank Bond Active funds, respectively.
According to the Samsung Securities Research Center, individual investors have been exhibiting a pattern of selling leveraged ETFs even amidst rising stock markets and buying inverse ETFs during downturns. This behavior is attributed to differences in market profitability and carries a risk of accumulating losses during long-term uptrends.
