'TIGER 200' Achieves Top Year-to-Date Return Among KOSPI200 ETFs

Low Fees and Ample Liquidity
Average Daily Trading Volume Surpasses 1 Trillion Won
Net Assets Exceed 10 Trillion Won

Mirae Asset Global Investments announced on October 1 that the 'TIGER 200' exchange-traded fund (ETF) has achieved the highest year-to-date return among domestic KOSPI200 index-tracking ETFs listed in Korea.

According to the Korea Exchange, as of the previous day, the year-to-date return of the TIGER 200 stood at 81.28%, marking the highest among 15 KOSPI200 index-tracking ETFs listed domestically. During the same period, the fund's net assets amounted to 10.2207 trillion won, while the average daily trading volume over the past month reached 1.4329 trillion won.

As of the end of last year, TIGER 200's net assets were 4.6382 trillion won, representing an increase of nearly 126% compared to now. This is the highest growth rate among the major KOSPI200 index-tracking ETFs with over 1 trillion won in net assets at the end of last year. In terms of trading volume as well, the average daily figure for September surged more than 16 times from around 89 billion won in the same month last year, recording the highest growth rate among the main KOSPI200 index-tracking ETFs.

This year, the Korean stock market has soared, buoyed by a strong semiconductor business environment and expanded investment in artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure. In the second half of the year, even as volatility increases, the semiconductor-led upward trend has continued to spread to diverse sectors such as shipbuilding, defense, nuclear power, secondary batteries, and biotechnology. As predicting the direction of individual stocks or specific sectors becomes increasingly difficult, investor interest is rising in representative index ETFs that allow for diversified investment across the broader domestic stock market.

Mirae Asset Global Investments explained that the TIGER 200 ETF is a product that enables diversified investment in major domestic companies, thanks to its low fees, ample liquidity, and outstanding tracking performance.

Jung Hyun Chung, Head of ETF Management at Mirae Asset Global Investments, stated, "The Korean stock market is seeing leading sectors expand in line with improved semiconductor performance," adding, "The TIGER 200 ETF is a core product that enables efficient investment in 200 of Korea's leading companies, underpinned by a competitive total expense ratio of 0.05% and excellent liquidity."
