Is Samsung Electronics doubling its leverage possible? What are the financial authorities' ETF regulations easing?

[Market Insight] The landscape of the Korean ETF market will change in 2026.

The Financial Services Commission announced a roadmap to address regulatory asymmetrics between domestic and foreign listed ETFs. This revision is significant not only because it expands the product lineup but also because it establishes an institutional foundation for a "Korea Premium."

- Key Highlights:

1. Single-stock leverage allowed: Products with a multiple of the underlying asset of blue-chip stocks such as Samsung Electronics can be listed (from 2026).
2. Strengthening investor entry barriers: Strengthening risk management by introducing a minimum deposit requirement (KRW 10 million) for new investments in overseas leveraged products.
3. Introduction of fully active ETFs: With the abolition of correlation coefficient requirements, asset managers' operational capabilities are expected to become even more important.

How will these changes impact the asset management industry and individual investor portfolios? We've compiled the details and implications of the revised system on our blog.
