(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Ji-Heon Lee = Last year, while the KOSPI was breaking its record high, the ETF was the so-called’double bus’ that earned about twice the decline by betting on a decline in the stock index. .
Investors who have traded Gopbus from before also have a higher trading threshold from the new year.
According to the financial investment industry on the 3rd, individual investors net purchased’KODEX 200 Futures Inverse 2X’ (hereinafter referred to as Inverse 2X) from the beginning of last year to the closing date of December 30th.
It was the overwhelming number one place with a net purchase difference of more than 3 trillion won from’KODEX Inverse’ (5791 billion won), the second-largest net buying ETF.
In terms of all stocks, individuals have the most net purchase of Inverse 2X last year after Samsung Electronics (9,5946 billion won) and Samsung Electronics Woo (6,111.3 billion won), the preferred stock of Samsung Electronics.
Inverse 2X is a product designed to reverse the daily rate of return of the KOSPI 200 index by twice the daily rate.
It is interpreted that there were many cases of investors who judged that the domestic stock market was overheated while the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19) continued, using Inverse 2X to bet on the index decline.
However, the investment performance of individuals who bet on pessimistic scenarios as KOSPI held a’rally’ until the end of the year after the bottom of March did not look good.
In fact, while the KOSPI 200 index rose 32.5% last year, the Inverse 2X fell 58.78%.
On the other hand, from the new year, existing Inverse 2X investors also increase the threshold for new trading of leveraged ETFs and listed securities (ETNs).
In accordance with the government’s plan to consolidate the ETF/ETN market, new investors for leveraged products could place purchase orders only after completing preliminary training and entrusting basic deposits from September 7 last year.
However, for existing investors, the application of the regulation was suspended until the end of last year. However, starting on the 4th of this month, you can place an order to buy a leveraged ETF only after receiving the online pre-training run by the Financial Investment Education Institute and entrusting the basic deposit.
The basic deposit is divided into three stages and applied differentially. For the first transaction, the basic deposit is 10 million won (2nd grade), and the deposit is exempted or reinforced up to 30 million won in accordance with the application standards set by the securities company, taking into account the purpose of investment, investment experience, and credit status.
