Solactive is pleased to announce its first Collaboration with Samsung Securities through the launch of two new exchange-traded notes (ETNs). The Samsung CHINA MOBILITY TOP5 TR ETN (H) and the Samsung CHINA AI TECH TOP5 TR ETN (H) track the Solactive China Mobility Top 5 Hedged to KRW Index TR and the Solactive China AI Tech Top 5 Hedged to KRW Index TR, respectively. Both ETNs provide Korean investors with focused access to China’s most leading and influential companies in the rapidly growing fields of mobility and artificial intelligence, while mitigating foreign exchange risk through a monthly KRW hedge.
China has solidified its position as a global leader in mobility and Artificial Intelligence (AI) innovation. China dominated the global Electric Vehicle (EV) market in 2024, accounting for nearly two-thirds of global EV sales and over 70% of global EV production, establishing its leadership across the EV value chain[1]. In parallel, Chinese technology firms are accelerating AI development through major investments and new foundation models, demonstrating the sector’s growing momentum. In response to these developments, the two new ETNs offer investors a focused exposure to these transformative sectors by targeting industry leaders while mitigating FX risks through KRW hedging.
The Solactive China Mobility Top 5 Hedged to KRW Index distills China’s mobility leaders into a tradable and currency-controlled theme. The index comprises the five largest Hong Kong–listed Chinese players across vehicles, batteries, charging, and next-generation transport. Liquidity and concentration rules mirror those of the AI index, ensuring investors access to liquid and representative exposures.
Similarly, the Solactive China AI Tech Top 5 Hedged to KRW Index selects the five largest Hong Kong–listed Chinese companies specializing in AI, selected by total market capitalization. Securities are subject to liquidity screens with a minimum average daily trading volume of USD 1 million and are weight capped at 30% for diversification. The index is rebalanced quarterly, with an integrated monthly KRW hedging to minimize currency volatility.
Both ETNs will be listed on September 9, 2025, on the Korean Exchange (KRX) with the ticker codes
- Samsung CHINA MOBILITY TOP5 TR ETN(H) (530141.KS) and
- Samsung CHINA AI TECH TOP5 TR ETN (H) (530142.KS).
Timo Pfeiffer, Chief Markets Officer at Solactive, commented: “We are delighted to initiate our partnership with Samsung Securities with these two innovative ETNs. China’s mobility and technology sectors are not only central to the country’s long-term growth trajectory but also to global innovation and sustainability trends. By offering focused, liquid exposure while reducing currency risks, these indices provide Korean investors with an opportunity to participate in China’s growth.”
Samsung Securities commented: “We are pleased to have our first collaboration with Solactive to launch two innovative ETNs. China’s AI and EV industries are the key of China’s future growth and these new ETNs will provide investors with an opportunity to invest in global innovative industries through the ETN listed on KRX. Samsung Securities will continuously create products that allow domestic investors to confidently and conveniently engage in global innovation trends”
