Kim Junghyun, Head of ETF Business at Shinhan Asset Management, stated, "Research on the quantum computing industry and a differentiated stock selection strategy were the key factors behind the performance gap."

The SOL US Quantum Computing TOP10 ETF focuses its investments on ten leading companies that are each advancing the quantum era in their own ways within the quantum computing industry. Its portfolio includes companies such as Alphabet (Google), Rigetti Computing, D-Wave Quantum, and IonQ.

Quantum computers, which operate based on the physical laws of quantum mechanics such as superposition and entanglement, are capable of ultra-fast computations that surpass supercomputers, earning them the nickname "dream computers." Quantum computing can process large volumes of information or countless possibilities at high speed, making it applicable in various fields such as AI, transportation and logistics, aerospace, pharmaceuticals and chemistry, and finance.

Kim further commented, "In a situation where industry standards for technological approaches have yet to be established, diversified investment through ETFs is an effective way to mitigate risks during the process of technological development and commercialization, while efficiently investing in promising companies of the future."
