Samsung Asset Management to Host ETF Investment Webinar on "2027 Market Outlook"

Korea Premium Week Webinar on the 12th

Samsung Asset Management announced on October 8 that it will hold the “ETF Investment Webinar with Samsung KODEX” on October 12. It expects domestic stock market volatility to increase as interest rates remain elevated through the first half of 2027.

The webinar, titled “2027 Market Outlook and ETF Investment Strategies,” will be livestreamed on YouTube starting at 6 p.m. on October 12.

In the first session, Oh Seunghoon, head of the Research Center at Samsung Asset Management, will present his outlook for domestic and international stock markets in 2027. Samsung Asset Management expects sectors related to AI infrastructure and services, which have strong earnings-generating capabilities, to perform well amid a continued high-interest-rate environment.

For the domestic stock market, the company expects limited reflection of listed companies’ earnings in their share prices due to increased volatility and concerns about the semiconductor cycle. However, it expects a renewed revaluation of the domestic stock market if shareholder return policies gain momentum next year and listed companies sustain their earnings.

In the second session, Ahn Jeongjin, head of the ETF Consulting Team at Samsung Asset Management, will present “ETF Investment Strategies” that apply the market outlook to actual investment portfolios. The session will cover ways to use ETFs expected to benefit at different stages, focusing on bottlenecks in the semiconductor sector, where supply shortages are emerging as AI advances, and in related equipment, power infrastructure, and energy storage systems (ESS).

In particular, the session will take a close look at investment opportunities in transformers, cables, and ESS, where supply shortages are expected to persist amid the expansion of AI data centers and the replacement of the U.S. power grid. It will also introduce ways to use KOSDAQ 150 ETFs, which offer broad exposure to growth sectors in line with policies to revitalize the KOSDAQ market.

The webinar is part of the third week of the first-ever “Korea Premium Week,” taking place this year. Korea Premium Week is the country’s largest capital market investor relations event, bringing together 42 organizations—including the Financial Services Commission, Korea Exchange, Korea Financial Investment Association, Korea Securities Depository, and Korea Securities Finance—as well as financial investment firms, media outlets, and 55 listed companies.

Samsung Asset Management is holding the seminar online to significantly lower the barrier to participation for retail investors. The webinar is designed to let individual investors access market outlooks and investment strategies directly, without time or location constraints.

Anyone can watch the webinar via a live broadcast on Samsung Asset Management’s official YouTube channel, with no advance registration required. Information about the participation link will be provided to visitors to the Samsung Asset Management website, KakaoTalk Plus Friends, and FunETF site members.

There will also be a prize giveaway for viewers. A drawing during the webinar will award prizes to a total of 500 people, including A Twosome Place Americano drinks, BBQ chicken sets, and Daiso mobile gift certificates.
