The Bank of Korea said single-stock leveraged exchange-traded funds tied to Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix could deepen market concentration, amplify volatility, and intensify one-way trading flows. The statement was reported by Bloomberg.
Background on the Products Single-stock leveraged ETFs seek to deliver multiples of daily returns for one listed company. They have grown in use in several Asian markets. The Bank of Korea noted that heavy flows into these products can reinforce existing price trends rather than offset them.
Officials at the central bank said the structure may channel investor money into a narrow set of large-cap technology shares. The same statement said this concentration could raise the speed and size of price moves during periods of stress.
