29That day, large-cap semiconductor stocks continued to drive the market to record highs. Returns among semiconductor exchange-traded funds (ETFs) diverged sharply by product on the same day. Some ETFs posted positive returns, while others recorded losses.
Samsung Electronics, a leading stock, rose 5.84%, while SK Hynix rose 1.92%. The strength of the two stocks was clearly evident in the market. However, ETF performance did not match the trend in large-cap stocks.
In particular, some leveraged products posted negative returns despite gains in large-cap stocks. ETFs with the same “semiconductor” label also differed in their holdings and management approaches. As a result, performance varied widely among products.
Market participants said investors should check an ETF’s holdings and their weightings when choosing a fund. They should also examine whether it uses a leveraged or inverse structure, as well as its management fees and historical tracking-error data. Investing based on the product name alone may result in returns that differ from expectations.
Investors should check an ETF’s holdings and the weighting of each holding themselves. With leveraged structures, high daily volatility can lead to different performance. Investors should bear in mind that differences in ETF composition affect returns.
