TIGER China ETF Achieves 3.3 Trillion Won in Cumulative Net Purchases by Individual Investors

Mirae Asset Global Investments announced on the 28th that the 'TIGER China ETF' has achieved a dominant first place in the domestic China investment ETF market, capturing a 90% market share based on cumulative net purchases by individual investors.

According to the Korea Exchange, as of the 27th, the total cumulative net purchases by individuals for the 48 China investment ETFs listed in Korea amounted to 3.2856 trillion won. Among these, the cumulative net purchases for the TIGER ETF reached 2.9735 trillion won, accounting for 90.5% of the total. This means that 9 out of 10 individual investors investing in China ETFs have chosen the TIGER ETF.

Mirae Asset Global Investments has introduced the China ETF, which covers innovative growth industries such as electric vehicles, semiconductors, biotechnology, AI, and robotics, and has become the overwhelming choice among individual investors. There are 17 types of TIGER China ETFs, with total net assets of 3.8052 trillion won. This represents 75% of the approximately 5 trillion won domestic China investment ETF market, making it the largest among Korean asset management companies.

The TIGER China ETF is leading the market with a differentiated portfolio. Among the four new thematic ETFs launched this year in line with changing trends in Chinese industry, the 'TIGER China Tech TOP10' is a representative example. This ETF focuses on Chinese technology stocks listed in Hong Kong, mainland China, and the US, and is the only fund of its kind to include the leading Chinese AI chip company Cambricon, resulting in an outperformance of more than 10% compared to similar funds.

The 'TIGER China Humanoid Robot' ETF has also drawn attention by differentiating itself as a 'pure China humanoid ETF' that excludes industrial robot companies. In addition, products such as 'TIGER China AI Software' and 'TIGER China Global Leaders TOP3+' are expected to benefit from the growth of Chinese tech companies.

The impressive returns are also noteworthy. In the second half of this year, the Chinese stock market has shown a sharp rebound, driven by the government's 'AI+ policy drive,' abundant liquidity and capital inflows, and accelerating technological self-sufficiency. From July 1 to the 27th, the 'TIGER China STAR50 (Synthetic)' ETF posted a return of 33.6%, ranking first among China investment ETFs listed in Korea (excluding leveraged ETFs). 'TIGER China Biotech SOLACTIVE' and 'TIGER China Semiconductor FACTSET' also rose by 33.4% and 31.4%, respectively.

Lee Junghwan, Executive Director of ETF Management at Mirae Asset Global Investments, explained, "With large-scale investment and support from the Chinese government expected for AI self-sufficiency, and the possibility of individual funds flowing into the stock market due to lower deposit rates, there is a high potential for further growth." He added, "As a leading player in the domestic China investment ETF market, TIGER ETF will continue to provide solutions for China's innovative growth themes, which are expected to see structural growth going forward."
