Hàn Quốc sẽ ra mắt các quỹ ETF đòn bẩy chứng khoán gắn với Samsung và SK Hynix

The Huoxing Finance report states that on May 24, South Korea will launch its first individual stock leveraged ETFs, which are linked to semiconductor manufacturers Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, designed to achieve daily returns of up to twice the positive or negative movement of the underlying stocks. Analysts expect these ETFs to attract strong demand from over 14 million retail investors in South Korea. However, given that intraday fluctuations of 5% in the KOSPI index have become increasingly common, this enthusiasm could further amplify market volatility. The CEO of Fibonacci Asset Management in Singapore stated, "These ETFs will exacerbate existing concentration risks, posing a structural challenge for long-term investors, as index volatility will remain persistently high, making the Korean market difficult to navigate." Yoon Jaehong, an analyst at Daewoo Future Asset, predicts that net inflows into the 14 leveraged ETFs betting on Samsung Electronics or SK Hynix, expected to list by the end of May, could reach up to 5.3 trillion Korean won. He noted that in the first two months of this year, the number of investors who completed the mandatory online training before investing in leveraged products reached 300,000, surpassing the total for all of 2025.
