三星SK海力士杠杆ETF即将上市

Odaily reported that South Korea will launch single-stock leveraged exchange-traded funds (ETFs) linked to semiconductor giants Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix this Wednesday, offering investors greater profit potential.

According to documents released by the Financial Services Commission and the Financial Supervisory Service, eight asset management companies—including Samsung Asset Management, Mirae Asset, Korea Investment, KB, Shinhan, Hanwha, Kiwoom, and Hana—will list a total of 16 single-stock leveraged and inverse ETFs based on Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix on the South Korean stock market. Mirae Asset Securities will also introduce two types of ETNs.

The launch comes as South Korean investors increasingly turn their attention to overseas-listed leveraged products linked to local stocks, with regulators seeking to attract retail trading activity back to the domestic market. Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix are two of South Korea’s largest companies and are major beneficiaries of the growing demand for AI-related chips.

South Korea has over 14 million retail investors, and analysts expect strong demand for the new funds amid the ongoing surge in AI-related investments. Net inflows into leveraged ETFs tied to Samsung and SK Hynix could reach up to 5.3 trillion Korean won. (科创板日报)
