Defense and Nuclear Themes Dominate H1 in the Korean ETF Market
In the first half of this year, the defense and nuclear themes recorded high returns in the Korean ETF market. Hanwha Asset Management’s 'PLUS K-Defense' ETF led with a 157.03% return, indicating strong investor interest in defense industry companies. Mirae Asset Management's 'TIGER K-Defense & Space' ETF followed closely with a 154.70% return, while Shinhan Asset Management’s 'SOL K-Defense' also achieved an impressive 118.19% return, ranking fourth. The success of these ETFs seems heavily influenced by increased geopolitical tensions due to military conflicts between Israel and Iran.
With the launch of Samsung Asset Management's new 'KODEX K-Defense TOP10' ETF, the number of listed K-Defense ETFs in the domestic market has increased to four. 'PLUS K-Defense' maintains the largest market size with a net asset value of 1.242 trillion KRW, and 'SOL K-Defense' has shown the best performance in recent monthly and weekly returns. These ETFs aim to enhance growth and profitability by investing in a range of defense and space-related companies.
Separately, Samsung Asset Management has introduced a user-tailored portfolio service offering greater convenience to investors. The service is based on ETFs and provides personalized portfolios aligned with each investor’s profile. It also includes a tax-free management strategy simulation feature that offers a variety of investment solutions to users.
