South Korea Tightens Leverage ETF Controls After SK Hynix Fund Trades 50% Above Fair Value

According to News1, on July 5, South Korea's financial authorities announced measures to strengthen liquidity provider (LP) management for single-stock leverage exchange-traded funds (ETFs) following pricing anomalies. In early June, Korea Investment Trust Management's ACE SK Hynix Single-Stock Leverage ETF traded at a 50% premium to its net asset value despite the underlying stock declining 8%, when the fund should have fallen 15-16% based on its 2x leverage structure. The Financial Services Commission, Financial Supervisory Service, and Korea Exchange are reviewing enhanced LP evaluation standards, including increased weighting of price discrepancy management in quarterly assessments. Asset managers responsible for pricing incidents may face penalties during future ETF listing reviews.
