[Société Générale: Korean investors shift from leveraged ETFs to structured products] On September 2, Societe Generale said that Korean retail investors are shifting from leveraged exchange-traded funds to semiconductor stock-related structured products, which represents a change in investment tool preferences rather than a cooling of investment demand. Strategists including Rajat Agarwal wrote in a research report: "Although the inflow of single stock leveraged ETFs has slowed down in the past six weeks, the buying of ordinary stocks remains strong and the scale of structured product issuance has increased, indicating that it is just a change in investment tool preferences, not Retail investor demand weakened. "The issuance scale of structured products linked to Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix and the Korea Composite 200 Index has nearly tripled since the low in May, reaching 3.4 trillion won and 4.3 trillion won respectively in July, and fell back in August.
