FnGuide Index-Tracking ETF Net Assets Surpass 35 Trillion Won

On January 12, financial information provider FnGuide announced that the total net asset value of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) managed based on its proprietary indices has surpassed 35 trillion won.

FnGuide currently supplies indices for approximately 160 ETF products listed in Korea. Continued capital inflows have been observed, particularly into thematic ETFs focused on clear policy and industry shifts. The company's ability to develop thematic indices that reflect industry, policy, and investor demand has been a key driver of its growth. Recently, FnGuide also launched 'FNAIDX,' a platform that enables index development simulations, further strengthening its collaboration with asset management firms.

As of this date, the net asset value of 'TIGER Semiconductor TOP10' exceeded 3.3 trillion won, driven by expectations of a semiconductor industry recovery and the global expansion of artificial intelligence (AI) investments. 'SOL Shipbuilding TOP3 Plus,' buoyed by optimism for a shipbuilding industry rebound, reached 2.17 trillion won, while 'KODEX Samsung Group' stood at 2.03 trillion won. 'PLUS High Dividend Stocks,' benefiting from increased demand for high-dividend investments, also recorded 1.85 trillion won.

In addition, new thematic ETFs such as 'RISE Donghak Ants' and 'SOL Shipbuilding Equipment' have recently been listed, reflecting both the evolving investment trends among retail investors and the growing segmentation within the industry.

FnGuide stated, "Based on our proven expertise in developing thematic ETF indices, we will continue to provide indices that reflect industry and policy changes as well as investor behavior, thereby supporting the growth of the ETF market."
