According to FNGuide on May 12, the total net assets of its ETFs exceeded KRW 70 trillion, just one week after surpassing KRW 65 trillion on May 4.

This recent increase in net assets is attributed to the recent strength in the domestic stock market. In particular, the robust performance of semiconductor-related stocks and the inflow of foreign capital have contributed to expanding funds into the domestic equity ETF market.

Riding the growth of the domestic ETF market, FNGuide's financial performance has also remained strong. On a consolidated basis, first-quarter 2026 revenue reached KRW 11.5 billion, up 16.5% from the same period last year, while operating profit rose to KRW 4.7 billion, increasing by 124% year-on-year.

By business segment, financial information services accounted for KRW 5.7 billion, or 49.17% of total revenue. The index segment posted KRW 5.4 billion, or 47.29%, and fund evaluation generated KRW 400 million, or 3.54% of revenue. In particular, the index segment achieved nearly half of last year's annual revenue (KRW 10.8 billion) in just the first quarter of this year, demonstrating rapid growth.

FNGuide has set its sales target for this year at a level 11% to 48% higher than last year's revenue of KRW 35.4 billion. The company expects continued stable growth in financial information services and fund evaluation, along with sustained momentum in its index business.

An FNGuide official stated, "As the domestic ETF market continues to expand and new products are launched, demand for our index business is also increasing," adding, "We plan to strengthen our business competitiveness through the development of new indices and product diversification tailored to market demand."
