Fierce Competition in Gold Spot ETF Market with Low Fees

Mirae Asset Global Investments has launched the 'TIGER KRX Gold Spot ETF', boasting the lowest fee in the domestic market at 0.15% annually. This ETF tracks the KRX Gold Spot Index and holds physical gold in a government-certified vault to minimize costs. It allows for up to 100% investment within retirement accounts, making it a tax-efficient option.
With this launch, competition within the gold spot ETF market is heating up. The 'TIGER KRX Gold Spot ETF' recorded a net purchase of about 5.6 billion KRW from individual investors on its debut day, indicating significant interest. Responding to this, Korea Investment & Securities is considering lowering the fees of its own ACE KRX Gold Spot ETF, and global players like Samsung Asset Management and Shinhan Asset Management are entering the arena with international gold spot ETFs. The ultra-low fee war is expected to intensify.
In the backdrop of geopolitical uncertainties in the Middle East, there is increased demand for safe-haven assets like gold. Despite the KOSPI surpassing 3000 for the first time in 3.5 years, volatility in gold and oil prices remains high. Gold ETFs are thus becoming attractive investment options during this turbulence. Concurrently, companies like Naver and Kakao are seeing strong performances due to optimism around AI policies, lifting related ETF returns.
