Product Focus

The new ETF is an actively managed fund built around the AI semiconductor value chain, rather than a passively indexed product. Active ETFs give portfolio managers discretion to adjust holdings, allowing the fund to respond to shifts across segments of the semiconductor supply chain, including chipmakers and related material, component and equipment players.

Filing and Listing Process

The listing is documented in a disclosure filed through the Financial Supervisory Service's DART electronic disclosure system, the asset manager's official announcement, and exchange-related reporting. DS Asset Management has been expanding its lineup of theme-oriented ETFs targeting technology sectors, with AI-related products a particular area of focus for domestic fund managers as demand for AI chips continues to grow.

No details regarding the fund's expense ratio, initial asset size or specific holdings were provided in the available information.

Context

The launch comes as Korean investors continue to show strong interest in ETF products tied to the AI boom, with domestic asset managers competing to offer vehicles that capture exposure to companies along the semiconductor production chain, from design and manufacturing to equipment and materials.

The claim that DS Asset Management listed its 'AI Semiconductor Chain Investment' active ETF on the 13th is True.
