'SOL US Nuclear SMR' ETF Surpasses 50 Billion KRW in Net Assets Just Two Weeks After Listing

The net assets of the 'SOL US Nuclear SMR' ETF, which was listed by Shinhan Asset Management on May 20, have surpassed 50 billion KRW.

Soon after its listing, US President Donald Trump signed an executive order to revitalize the nuclear industry, heightening expectations for a full-scale revival of the US nuclear sector. As a result, funds from both individual and institutional investors have flowed in rapidly.

Net purchases by individual investors exceeded 30 billion KRW within just two weeks of listing. Institutional investors also showed strong interest, recording net purchases of more than 10 billion KRW. Among domestic ETFs related to nuclear energy, it is recording the most notable fund inflows and performance. Since listing, its return has reached 11.76%, effectively absorbing demand for nuclear investment.

Kim Junghyun, Head of the ETF Business Division at Shinhan Asset Management, stated, "The Trump administration has begun to strengthen the nuclear industry to address power demand arising from the expansion of AI and data centers, as well as to enhance energy security." He added, "The US nuclear industry has emerged as a key sector that global investors should pay attention to." He further emphasized, "Due to its inherent economic efficiency, stability, and technological complexity, nuclear power is inevitably a government-led industry. Now, with the US government's strong policy commitment, is the right time to focus on the US nuclear industry."

President Trump declared a 'National Energy Emergency' immediately after taking office in January this year. Through an executive order, he clearly designated the nuclear industry as a core part of the US energy strategy.

SOL US Nuclear SMR is the only domestic ETF that allows concentrated investment across the entire value chain of the US nuclear industry. It includes a broad range of companies expected to benefit from the executive order.
