According to KOSCOM CHECK, since their May 27 debut, single-stock leveraged and inverse ETF products tracking Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix have accumulated 13.4 trillion won in net inflows as of July 16. However, leveraged fund holders suffered losses, with the KODEX SK Hynix single-stock leveraged ETF declining 47.5% and the KODEX Samsung Electronics single-stock leveraged ETF falling 41.7%, while inverse products also posted losses despite the underlying stocks declining. The Financial Supervisory Service reported that 92.7% of single-stock leveraged product investors are retail traders, who cumulatively purchased 14.02 trillion won worth of these 16 products. On July 16, the South Korean government announced remedial measures including raising the minimum deposit requirement to 30 million won, expanding the minimum purchase unit, and extending pre-investment education requirements to limit retail investor participation.
