SK Hynix + Samsung combined hold over 60%, the first pure KOSPI 200 ETF in Asia-Pacific is about to list on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange

BlockBeats News, June 17 — According to recent product information released by the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the new ETF product under Southern East Asia (Code: 03121) will be listed on June 18, with a lot size of 100 units, an entry fee of HKD 780, and an annual management fee of 0.99%. It becomes the first ETF in the Asia-Pacific region to directly track the Korean flagship index KOSPI 200, adopting a passive, unleveraged tracking strategy with a 1x multiplier.

In terms of holdings, SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics together account for approximately 62% of the weight, significantly higher than the corresponding weights of U.S. stock DRAM-related ETFs and EWY (iShares MSCI Korea ETF), indicating a more concentrated exposure to Korea’s storage semiconductor giants. The remaining holdings also include Korean blue-chip stocks such as Samsung Electro-Mechanics, Hyundai Motor, and Doosan Energy, providing a comprehensive coverage of Korea’s core sectors in the real economy.

Regarding background, driven by the AI wave, the Korea KOSPI 200 index has risen a total of 113% this year, with leading companies like SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics returning several times over in the past year. For investors who cannot directly open Korean securities accounts, 03121 offers a convenient channel to participate in Korea’s large-cap stocks through a Hong Kong stock account with low barriers.
