Among retail investors, those in their 40s recorded the largest purchases of single-stock leveraged ETFs for Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix.
《Seoul Economic Daily》 commissioned a major securities firm to analyze the investment portfolios of 25,000 high-net-worth individuals during the period from May 27 to July 10 of this year. The analysis found that among the top five assets by net purchases, three were single-stock leveraged ETFs linked to Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix. They made net purchases of 178.1 billion KRW in the "KODEX SK Hynix Single Stock Leveraged ETF" and 140.1 billion KRW in the "TIGER SK Hynix Single Stock Leveraged ETF," in addition to buying 116.6 billion KRW worth of the "KODEX Samsung Electronics Single Stock Leveraged ETF." Given that the remaining two of the top five assets were also ordinary stocks of Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, this indicates that wealthy investors have adopted a strategy of heavily betting on the "two giants" of the South Korean stock market.
