#BOKWarnsSingleStockLeveragedETFRisks
Bank of Korea warns that leveraged ETFs on Samsung and SK Hynix could worsen market concentration and volatility.
In a response to a lawmaker, BOK highlighted how these single-stock products are amplifying the already heavy weighting of the two semiconductor giants.
Samsung and SK Hynix now represent 55.3% of total market value (up from 36.1% end of last year) and 63.5% of daily trading volume (up from 27.9%).
The central bank noted that leverage ETFs can drive bigger one-way flows during sentiment shifts, increasing swings.
When prices fall, individual investors could face amplified losses, and mass redemptions or rebalancing might add further pressure.
This marks a shift from the more positive tone in BOK’s June 24 Financial Stability Report. Regulators are now considering tighter rules.
Experts agree these products can magnify existing volatility, especially given the recent sharp run-up in semiconductor stocks.
BOK plans closer monitoring and coordination with other authorities to manage risks.
What do you think about leveraged ETFs on dominant stocks like these?
