Shinhan Asset Management announced that the net assets of the "SOL AI Semiconductor Small Department Head ETF," which invests heavily in domestic semiconductor materials, parts, and equipment (small department head) companies, exceeded KRW 1 trillion.

Net assets, which were around 464.6 billion won at the beginning of the year, surpassed 1 trillion won in two months. During the same period, the net purchase amount of individual investors was 182.4 billion won.

Shinhan Asset Management analyzed, "The domestic semiconductor industry has recently been suffering from supply shortages and expansion issues by companies due to the expansion of investment by global big tech amid accelerated competition in AI technology and high-tech industries." "If Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix received attention in the face of price (P) rise until recently, the benefits of semiconductor materials, parts, and equipment, or small-scale companies, could be highlighted in the face of production (Q) expansion."

"Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, and Micron, the three major memory semiconductors, are announcing plant expansion, additional investment, and strengthening cooperation with domestic semiconductor small-scale companies," said Kim Jung-hyun, head of Shinhan Asset Management's ETF business group. "The more we focus on expanding HBM production, the more general-purpose DRAM supply will become relatively scarce, and the more production spaces and facilities need to be expanded to compensate for this, so benefits are likely to spread across materials, parts and equipment."

He added, "As funds flow into ETFs specialized in semiconductor themes along with the expansion of the ETF market, semiconductor small manager stocks are in a positive environment not only in terms of industrial momentum but also in terms of ETF supply and demand."

SOL AI Semiconductor Small Department Head ETF is a product that selects and invests companies with core competitiveness among domestic AI semiconductor small department head companies. The components are ▲Hanmi Semiconductor ▲Rino Industrial ▲ ISU PETASIS ▲ Wonik IPS ▲ Eotechnics ▲ Hansol Chemical ▲ HPSP ▲ Jusung Engineering ▲ Solbrain ▲ ISC.

The proportion of HBM-related companies is about 45%, and the proportion of companies related to the miniaturization process is about 55%. By detailed category, the proportion is about 14% of materials, about 16% of parts, about 45% of equipment, and about 25% of others.

Since the beginning of the year, the yield of the SOL AI Semiconductor Sub-Director ETF has been 62.47 percent, exceeding 56.71 percent of Samsung Electronics and 44.09 percent of SK Hynix. The yields for the last one and three months were 21.66% and 56.67%, respectively.

Meanwhile, Shinhan Asset Management plans to list a new 'SOL AI Semiconductor TOP2 Plus ETF' with a strategy that maximizes the proportion of large semiconductor stocks on the 17th. This ETF is characterized by the incorporation of SK Square as a significant proportion to expand exposure to SK Hynix while taking the largest proportion of Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix.

"If the head of the SOL AI semiconductor department was a Broad strategy that encompasses the entire small head company, and the SOL semiconductor post-process was an investment strategy that subdivided the industrial value chain, SOL AI Semiconductor TOP2 Plus is a product of a more intensive strategy that adds small head representative stocks to large stocks such as Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, and SK Square," said Kim, head of the group. "We can also expect synergy with the existing head of SOL AI semiconductor department through a portfolio centered on large stocks."
