South Korea may cap leveraged ETF investments for retail investors, media reports say
South Korea's financial regulator is considering imposing a cap on retail investors' holdings of single-stock leveraged exchange-traded funds (ETFs). The move follows recent measures that increased cash deposit requirements for such products. It comes amid sharp declines in the shares of Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, which have heightened concerns about market volatility.
- ▪The Financial Services Commission announced it will review and possibly limit the total value of leveraged ETF investments for individual retail investors.
- ▪Regulators recently raised the cash deposit needed to purchase leveraged ETFs tied to major Korean stocks such as Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix.
- ▪Samsung Electronics shares fell up to 9.7% on concerns about losing market share to Chinese competitor CXMT and financing risks related to AI infrastructure spending.
- ▪SK Hynix shares dropped as much as 11.2% in Seoul, and its American Depositary Receipts fell 10% on Nasdaq, underscoring market pressure on semiconductor stocks.
