For investors seeking momentum, Matthews Korea Active ETF (MKOR Quick QuoteMKOR<\/a> – Free Report<\/a>) is probably on the radar now. The fund just hit a 52-week high and jumped a solid 172% from its 52-week low price of $25.97 per share.<\/p>\n

But are there more gains in store for this ETF? Let\u2019s take a quick look at the fund and its near-term outlook to get a better sense of where it might head.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n

MKOR in Focus<\/p>\n

This fund offers exposure to South Korea-based companies capable of sustainable growth based on the fundamental characteristics of those companies, including balance sheet information; number of employees; size and stability of cash flow; management\u2019s depth, adaptability and integrity; product lines; marketing strategies; corporate governance; and financial health. The product charges 79 basis points (bps) in annual fees (See: Asia-Pacific Developed ETFs here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

What Led to the Rise?<\/p>\n

South Korean stocks have been experiencing a record rally lately, primarily driven by explosive, AI-fueled demand for high-bandwidth memory (HBM) chips and proactive corporate governance reforms. This must have led the MKOR fund to touch a new 52-week high peak, with a major share of this ETF\u2019s top holdings allocated to the information technology sector, primarily comprising global memory-chip and semiconductor leaders.<\/p>\n

More Gains Ahead?<\/p>\n

MKOR may continue its strong performance in the near term, with a positive weighted alpha of 184.26<\/a> (as per Barchart.com), which suggests a further rally.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"For investors seeking momentum, Matthews Korea Active ETF (MKOR Quick QuoteMKOR – Free Report) is probably on the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":54890,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[965,966,960,958,959,31,962,963,961,967,968,956,964,969,957],"class_list":["post-54889","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-korea","tag-financial","tag-financial-planning","tag-investing","tag-investment","tag-investment-advice","tag-korea","tag-online-investment","tag-online-stock-trading","tag-online-trading","tag-quote","tag-quotes","tag-stock","tag-stock-market","tag-stock-quotes","tag-stocks"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54889","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=54889"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54889\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/54890"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=54889"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=54889"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=54889"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
