Samsung Asset Management Achieves 'Triple Crown' with Two KODEX Single Stock Leverage Products

Samsung Asset Management announced on June 11 that 'KODEX Samsung Electronics Single Stock Leverage' and 'KODEX SK hynix Single Stock Leverage' achieved a "triple crown" by ranking first among single stock leverage products in individual net purchases, trading value, and net assets just two weeks after their listing.

According to Samsung Asset Management, since their listing, the cumulative individual net purchase for these two products has reached approximately 2.4 trillion won for the SK hynix product and 2 trillion won for the Samsung Electronics product, surpassing a combined total of 4 trillion won. Specifically, KODEX SK hynix Single Stock Leverage recorded 2.0881 trillion won in cumulative individual net purchases, showing the highest preference among similar products, while KODEX Samsung Electronics Single Stock Leverage reached 1.9815 trillion won. Both products led the inflow of funds in the single stock leverage market and each ranked first in individual net purchases within their respective product categories.

Driven by strong buying momentum, net assets have also risen sharply. The net assets of KODEX SK hynix Single Stock Leverage stand at 2.7138 trillion won, and KODEX Samsung Electronics Single Stock Leverage at 2.1461 trillion won, for a combined net asset total of 4.8599 trillion won. This demonstrates their unparalleled capacity to attract funds in the early single stock leverage market.

The greatest strength of the KODEX single stock leverage series lies in its abundant trading volume and liquidity. The average daily trading value was 2.7614 trillion won for KODEX SK hynix Single Stock Leverage and 1.9721 trillion won for KODEX Samsung Electronics Single Stock Leverage. The average daily trading volume also reached approximately 103.64 million units and 77.79 million units, respectively, making them the largest in the market.

These figures represent a clear advantage over other products in the market that track the same underlying assets. In the case of KODEX SK hynix Single Stock Leverage, the average daily trading value was more than 1.8 times higher than competing products, and the average daily trading volume was also more than 1.5 times greater. Similarly, KODEX Samsung Electronics Single Stock Leverage outperformed its competitors in both trading value and volume, at approximately 1.6 times and 1.5 times higher, respectively, further solidifying its liquidity advantage.

Such abundant trading volume offers an optimal trading environment for investors seeking large-scale trades. Because the order book is densely filled, investors can execute trades at their desired prices instantly. As a result, the structural stability minimizes "slippage costs"—the trading loss that occurs due to the spread between bid and ask prices—allowing investors to fully realize the leverage effect at their intended price.

In particular, Samsung Asset Management has established a liquidity management system prioritizing investor protection, taking into account the sensitivity of single stock leverage products to the underlying asset’s price movements. To ensure stable order flow, the company has built and operates the largest liquidity provider (LP) network among domestic asset managers, with a total of 22 LPs.

Sungchul Park, Head of ETF Management Team 1 at Samsung Asset Management, stated, "The reason these two single stock leverage products were able to attract concentrated interest from individual investors right after their initial listing is thanks to KODEX’s stable order management and abundant liquidity. We are focusing our operational capabilities to ensure that investors can trade efficiently at their desired price and time without concerns about slippage costs, thanks to our tightly managed order book."
