According to Samsung Securities, highly concentrated exchange-traded funds (ETFs) focusing on 2-10 core large-cap stocks are gaining traction in global and domestic markets. South Korea has launched approximately 24 ultra-concentrated thematic ETFs this year, marking a shift from traditional diversified portfolios. A DRAM-focused ETF that debuted in the U.S. in April expanded rapidly post-launch. Researcher Im Eun-hye noted that concentrated portfolios tracking Magnificent 7 tech stocks have consistently outperformed the Nasdaq 100 and S&P 500 in recent years. Data shows that over 60% of the S&P 500's returns in the past five years came from its top 20 holdings, reflecting AI infrastructure's concentration of capital among a few large tech firms. Advantages of ultra-concentrated ETFs include precise target exposure, reduced individual stock risk, lower rebalancing costs, and tactical trading flexibility.
