Korea's 10 most-bought ETFs took in 5.35 trillion won over a month and averaged 0.83%, while KOSDAQ supplier funds led the return table at 26% to 32%. Earnings season will test whether 2.17 trillion won parked in two cash funds follows them.
Reality
Korean regulators' 30 million won cash deposit rule cut daily turnover in 16 Samsung and SK hynix single-stock ETFs by about 92%, to 990 billion won. The drop has held, but in September retail's appetite for doubled bets moved to index inverse funds outside the rule's single-stock scope.
Reality
Korean investors put $477 million into two defensive US ETFs in September, nearly three times the $168 million sent to a triple-leveraged chip fund. Their $589 million of net buying covers about 7.5% of the $7.8 billion rise in US holdings since August, so price gains account for the rest.
