Semiconductor ETFs Dominate Market as Concentration Deepens

As the recent stock market rally continues to be driven by the "two top" semiconductor companies, the phenomenon of semiconductor-related products dominating the returns of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) is intensifying.
In particular, leveraged products based on single stocks of SK Hynix have swept the top seven spots in returns among all ETFs listed in Korea.
In contrast, non-semiconductor ETFs, such as those focused on space technology and secondary batteries, have remained at the bottom of the performance rankings.
According to the Korea Exchange on Sunday (June 21), the TIGER SK Hynix Single Stock Leverage ETF recorded the highest return of 31.22% between June 1 and June 19.
The KODEX SK Hynix Single Stock Leverage (31.13%), ACE SK Hynix Single Stock Leverage (29.71%), SOL SK Hynix Single Stock Leverage (29.67%), RISE SK Hynix Single Stock Leverage (28.25%), and KIWOOM SK Hynix Futures Single Stock Leverage (27.06%) followed with narrow margins.
Seven types of SK Hynix single-stock leveraged ETFs, which were listed on May 27, have all secured spots at the top of the ETF return rankings this month.
