Mirae Asset Global Investments' 'TIGER Korea TOP10' ETF Achieves 45% Year-to-Date Return

Mirae Asset Global Investments announced on March 6 that the "TIGER Korea TOP10" Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) achieved a year-to-date return of 45.01%.

According to the Korea Exchange, as of the closing price on the 5th, this ETF recorded a year-to-date return of 45.01%. This outperformed the KOSPI, which rose by 32.50% during the same period, by 12.51 percentage points. The net buying volume by individual investors during this period amounted to 300.6 billion won. This suggests that investor demand for leading domestic blue-chip stocks remains strong despite increased market volatility.

The TIGER Korea TOP10 ETF is a product that invests in the ten core stocks representing the Korean stock market. The portfolio is centered around SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics, and also includes major industry leaders such as Hyundai Motor, Hanwha Aerospace, and KB Financial Group. By evenly including companies from various sectors, the ETF reduces volatility while reflecting the performance of leading market players.

With recent increases in market volatility, there is growing analysis highlighting the importance of investment strategies focused on blue-chip stocks with strong earnings and global competitiveness. In the domestic stock market, profits are increasingly concentrated among large-cap blue chips. According to estimates by domestic securities firms, KOSPI-listed companies are expected to post operating profits of around 616 trillion won this year, with the top 10 stocks accounting for 64.4% of the total.

In particular, it is being observed that the profit-generation structure is increasingly centered on key large-cap stocks such as Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, and Hyundai Motor, with these leading companies driving a significant portion of the overall earnings improvement among listed companies in Korea. Performance in the Korean stock market is also showing greater differentiation between stocks, with a stronger trend toward concentration in leading companies.

Jung Heehyun, Head of ETF Management at Mirae Asset Global Investments, said, "With market volatility increasing recently, it is necessary to focus on blue-chip stocks with strong earnings and global competitiveness. The TIGER Korea TOP10 ETF is a product that invests in Korea's core representative companies through a portfolio with a high weighting in SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics, and it can serve as an alternative in a highly volatile market environment."
