South Korea Implements Simulated Trading Requirement for Chip Leveraged ETFs
South Korea has introduced a mandatory five-day simulated trading course for investors in leveraged ETFs tied to chipmakers Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix. These ETFs, launched in May to attract retail investors, have seen trading values drop to a quarter of their June peak amid regulatory efforts to curb market volatility. The new rule requires investors to use a Windows-only program for at least an hour daily, which some find inconvenient, contributing to declining demand and the first expected monthly outflow for these products.
