[South Korea's "ETF Father": Leveraged Products Should Not Be Forcibly Delisted, But Investors Are Better Off Avoiding Them] According to Deep Tide TechFlow, on July 30, Bae Jae-kyu, CEO of a South Korean investment management company and known as South Korea's "ETF Father," stated on Thursday that single-stock leveraged products tracking Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix should be allowed to naturally phase out of the market rather than being forcibly delisted. Bae Jae-kyu remarked that the best choice for investors regarding such products is "not to invest." He warned that during periods of significant market volatility, daily rebalancing and the compounding effect could quickly erode the value of these products. He added that investors often attempt to bottom-fish for rebounds after a market crash, but relying on this strategy makes it difficult to achieve sustainable wealth growth. He also advised investors not to concentrate their funds on a single memory chip manufacturer but to invest across the entire semiconductor supply chain. Bae Jae-kyu stated, "The memory chip industry still exhibits clear cyclicality." He pointed out that Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, and Micron Technology are continuously expanding their investments, while regional competition is also intensifying. He believes that the semiconductor boom driven by artificial intelligence has already led to market performance exceeding expectations, but he recommends that investors focus on the industry's long-term growth prospects rather than short-term price fluctuations.
