**[Samsung and SK Hynix Leveraged ETFs Set to Launch]** Odaily Planet Daily reports that South Korea will launch a single leveraged exchange-traded fund (ETF) this Wednesday, linked to semiconductor giants Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, offering investors the potential for greater returns. According to documents released by the Financial Services Commission and the Financial Supervisory Service of South Korea, eight asset management companies—Samsung Asset Management, Mirae Asset, Korea Investment, KB, Shinhan, Hanwha, Kiwoom, and Hana—will list a total of 16 single leveraged and inverse ETFs based on Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix on the Korean stock market. Mirae Asset Securities will also introduce two types of ETNs. This launch comes as South Korean investors are increasingly focused on overseas-listed leveraged products tied to local stocks, while regulators aim to attract retail trading activity back to the domestic market. Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix are South Korea's two largest companies and key beneficiaries of the growing demand for AI-related chips. With over 14 million retail investors in South Korea, analysts predict strong demand for the new funds amid the ongoing surge in AI-related investments. Net inflows into leveraged ETFs linked to Samsung and SK Hynix could reach as high as 5.3 trillion won. (Sci-Tech Innovation Board Daily)
