Samsung Asset Management Launches KODEX US AI Tech TOP10 ETF

A product combining the U.S. representative tech companies M7 (Magnificent7) with AI5 has been launched.

Samsung Asset Management announced on the 25th that it will list the KODEX U.S. AI Tech TOP10 Exchange Traded Fund (ETF), which simultaneously pursues the growth potential of the AI industry and the stability of big tech.

KODEX U.S. AI Tech TOP10 differentiates itself from other products by carefully selecting the top 10 U.S. AI tech stocks using an AI investment method that applies not only market capitalization but also an LLM (Large Language Model) score, instead of a simple market capitalization weighting, to properly reflect AI industry trends.

Through this method, the product focuses investment on 10 companies, including AI5?AI industry leaders Nvidia, Microsoft, Broadcom, TSMC, AMD?and the U.S. representative big tech companies M7: Apple, Meta, Google, Amazon, and Tesla. Among these companies, AI hardware leader Nvidia, AI software leader Microsoft, and AI utilization service leader Apple have already reached a market capitalization of around $3 trillion amid the AI boom, leading the AI industry ecosystem.

Additionally, KODEX U.S. AI Tech TOP10 concentrates more than 50% of its investment in the AI5 stocks. According to Bloomberg data, the average revenue of AI5 companies is expected to increase by 35% this year, and the average earnings per share (EPS) is projected to grow by 130%, indicating significant benefits from the future growth of the AI industry.

This product was listed on the 28th of last month, and individual investors have shown daily buying momentum. Among products that focus on major U.S. tech companies, it has recorded the highest cumulative net purchase by individuals during the same period, amounting to 138 billion KRW, and it forms the same portfolio as KODEX U.S. AI Tech TOP10 + 15% Premium.

Kim Cheonheung, manager at Samsung Asset Management, said, “KODEX U.S. AI Tech TOP10 is a product that pursues both the stability of U.S. big tech companies with abundant capital and the growth potential of leading AI companies. It is suitable for investors who want to focus on the long-term stock price appreciation of core AI industry companies.”
