[Asia Economy Reporter Junho Hwang] Samsung Asset Management will list two currency-exposed ETFs tracking the US S&P500 TR Index and NASDAQ 100 TR Index, KODEX US S&P500TR and KODEX US Nasdaq100TR ETFs, on the 9th.


Samsung Asset Management has expanded its KODEX lineup for investing in the US market to a total of 18 products, including KODEX US FANG Plus (H), which focuses on major US-listed tech stocks, and KODEX US Russell 2000 (H), which invests in US small and mid-cap stocks.


The KODEX US S&P500TR ETF invests in the top 500 companies by market capitalization listed on the US stock market. It aims to track the S&P500 TR (KRW) Index and, unlike the previously listed KODEX US S&P500 Futures (H), it is a spot-type, currency-exposed product.


The newly listed KODEX US Nasdaq100TR ETF aims to track the NASDAQ100 TR (KRX) Index. Unlike the previously listed futures-type, currency-hedged KODEX US Nasdaq100 Futures (H), it is a spot-type, currency-exposed product.


Im Taehyuk, head of the ETF management team at Samsung Asset Management, said, "By complementing the existing futures-type, currency-hedged lineup with spot-type, currency-exposed products, we have established a US lineup that can also be invested in through pension accounts. We will continue to strive to develop various products that meet customer needs."



Samsung Asset Management will hold an event to commemorate the listing of KODEX US S&P500TR and KODEX US Nasdaq100TR. During the event period, prizes will be awarded based on the combined daily trading amount (including both sell and buy) of three stocks, including KODEX US FANG Plus (H). This event will be held through Eugene Investment & Securities from the 12th to the 30th of this month.
