South Korea Targets Single-Stock Leveraged ETFs; Multiplier Cuts, Product Mixing Considered

GateNews
Stocks
SK Hynix-13.25%
According to Herald Economics, on July 13, South Korean authorities are reviewing regulatory measures for single-stock leveraged ETFs tracking Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, which have drawn scrutiny for amplifying market volatility since their launch 1.5 months ago. Current proposals include raising minimum deposits to 50 million won, enhanced investor education, and technical measures such as reducing leverage multiples from 2x to 1.5x or combining both stocks into a single product. Dongguk University professor Lee Jun-seo stated that while leveraged ETFs are not the primary cause of volatility—attributed mainly to global semiconductor sector concerns—their concentration in just two high-cap stocks has accelerated market swings. Broader accessibility to 20–30 top-cap stocks, as available in U.S. markets, could distribute liquidity and reduce single-stock concentration risk.
