Although the domestic stock market has rebounded sharply in August from the shock of a sharp drop at the end of last month, individual investors’ funds for exchange-traded funds (ETF) were concentrated on the U.S. flagship index and covered call products, the report showed. While buying semiconductor and information technology (IT) ETFs in the domestic stock market, KOSDAQ, Samsung Electronics, and SK Hynix have begun to realize large profits in single-stock leverage ETFs.<\/p>\n

According to a News 1 report on the 16th, an analysis of Coscom check data showed that the ETF net purchased by individual investors from the 3rd to the 14th of this month was “TIGER US S&P 500”, with a net purchase of 281.8 billion won.<\/p>\n

“KODEX USA Nasdaq 100” also ranked second with a net purchase of 11.1 billion won. U.S. representative index products swept the top net buyers, with “KODEX US S&P 500” ranking fourth with 163.3 billion won and “TIGER US Nasdaq 100” ranking fifth with 133.7 billion won.<\/p>\n

Individual funds have been steadily directed to the U.S. stock market despite a rapid rebound in the local stock market, with the KOSPI and KOSDAQ rising 5.80 percent and 20.13 percent, respectively, in August. Of the 10 trading days this month, the KOSPI rose on the 7th and the KOSDAQ rose on the 9th.<\/p>\n

Investors who experienced a sharp decline last month also intensively bought covered call products seeking stable cash flow. Individuals bought a net 179.8 billion won of “KODEX 200 Target Weekly Bird Call” to rank third overall, while “KODEX 200 Bird Call Active” was also bought 114.7 billion won. It is interpreted as reflecting the demand to use option premiums to earn profits from distributions while participating in some of the stock market’s rise.<\/p>\n

Among the ETFs related to the domestic stock market, buying was concentrated in semiconductors and IT. Individuals bought a net 69.4 billion won for “TIGER Semiconductor TOP10 Leverages” and a net 51.8 billion won for “TIGER 200IT Leverages.” Net inflows of 36.9 billion won and 31.2 billion won were also made to “TIGER Semiconductor TOP10” and “KODEX AI Semiconductor TOP2 Plus,” respectively.<\/p>\n

It is analyzed that Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix’s stock prices recovered some of the fall after a sharp drop at the end of last month, betting on a further rise in the semiconductor industry. SK Hynix, which plunged 35.17% last month, fell only 4.25% this month, greatly reducing its fall. Samsung Electronics rebounded 4.57 percent this month after falling 21.41 percent last month.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, large-scale funds have been withdrawn from leveraged products that double bets on KOSDAQ and individual semiconductor stocks. The ETF that individuals sold the most net this month was “KODEX KOSDAQ 150 Leveraged,” with a net sale of 318.6 billion won. As the KOSDAQ surged more than 20% in just 10 trading days, it is interpreted that there was a flood of sales to realize profits.<\/p>\n

The sell-off was also noticeable in Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix’s single-stock leverage ETFs. Net outflows of 185 billion won from the “KODEX SK Hynix Single Stock Leveraged” and 167.4 billion won from the “KODEX Samsung Electronics Single Stock Leveraged” respectively.<\/p>\n

Including TIGER products, SK Hynix’s net sale of leverage ETFs in single stocks amounted to about 251.3 billion won, and Samsung Electronics’ leverage in single stocks amounted to about 220.1 billion won.<\/p>\n

In the end, individuals are betting on the possibility of a further rise in the semiconductor and IT industries, but double the daily fluctuation rate of individual stocks, reducing their exposure to highly volatile single-stock leveraged products. It is interpreted that caution against high-risk products has increased as it went through a sharp decline last month.<\/p>\n

“ETF is an alternative that can defend individual companies’ risks by distributing baskets and fully follow the trajectory of huge profits generated by a small number of hegemonic companies that survived,” said Lim Eun-hye, a researcher at Samsung Securities. “It is important to secure a flexible investment theme because the theme of AI-related investment changes rapidly.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"U.S. S&P 300\u00b7Nasdaq 100 Stock PurchaseInflows 300 Billion Into Covered Call ProductsSamjeonics Leverage Selling \uc0ac\uc9c4 \ud655\ub300 On the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":121039,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[19719,50724,127,276,21644],"class_list":["post-121038","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-samsung-electronics","tag-kodex","tag-leverage","tag-samsung","tag-samsung-electronics","tag-tiger"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/121038","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=121038"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/121038\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/121039"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=121038"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=121038"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=121038"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
