Growth of the Korean ETF Market and Focus on Thematic Products
The Korean Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) market is expanding rapidly. The top-performing ETF this week was 'SOL China Solar CSI (Synthetic)' by Shinhan Asset Management, which recorded a 12.59% increase. Investors also saw returns of 7.73% from Mirae Asset Management’s 'TIGER China Clean Energy SOLACTIVE', while the KOSPI leveraged inverse product 'PLUS 200 Futures Inverse 2X' emerged as a key investment option after a 7.28% gain.
This week saw the listing of two new ETFs: Samsung Asset Management's 'KODEX 28-12 Corporate Bond (AA- or above) Active' and Mirae Asset Management's 'TIGER USA AI Power SMR'. These new listings offer diverse investment options, with particular interest in American AI and Small Modular Reactor (SMR) power investments.
In the stock market, the rise dominated by large-cap stocks has led ETFs to focus on thematic products centered around select large-cap stocks. Half of the newly listed ETFs in October are structured to invest in specific themes and large-cap stocks. This approach targets high returns but also comes with inherent risks.
