Solactive Silver Total Return Leveraged Indices Selected As Underlying Indices For Silver Total Return Etns By Four Major South Korean Securities Firms

Solactive is pleased to announce that KB Securities, Korea Investment Securities, Meritz Securities, and Samsung Securities have selected the Solactive Silver Total Return Leveraged Index family as the underlying indices for their newly launched Silver Total Return ETNs. The ETNs track the respective Solactive indices and provide investors with leveraged and inverse exposure to silver futures within a transparent and rules-based total return framework. 

Silver plays a dual role in global markets as both a precious metal and an industrial input. In addition to its traditional role as a store of value, silver demand has been supported by structural growth across sectors such as solar energy, semiconductors, and electric vehicles. As electrification trends and renewable energy deployment continue to evolve, silver’s industrial applications remain an important component of broader commodity market dynamics. Leveraged and inverse ETNs are commonly used for short-term exposure or hedging purposes in volatile market environments.

The Solactive Silver Leveraged Index and Solactive Silver Leveraged KRCD3M Index family are designed to replicate the performance of a hypothetical investment in the Solactive Future Series 5-Day Roll Silver Excess Return USD Index while incorporating a defined leverage factor and interest rate component. The indices apply a daily leverage mechanism, offering positive and inverse exposure to the underlying silver futures index. The total return calculation reflects the performance of the underlying futures index together with a short-term interest rate component and a daily financing adjustment. The indices are rebalanced on a daily basis to maintain the specified leverage factor.

The ETNs will be launched on March 6, 2026, on Korea Exchange (KRX). An overview of the respective ETNs and their corresponding Solactive indices is provided below.

Timo Pfeiffer, Chief Markets Officer at Solactive, commented:“We are pleased that   KB Securities, Korea

Investment Securities, Meritz Securities and Samsung Securities have selected the Solactive Silver Total Return Leveraged Index family as the basis for their new ETNs. The launch also marks our first collaboration with Korea Investment Securities, further expanding our presence in the South Korean market. We remain committed to providing transparent, rules-based index solutions designed to meet the evolving needs of our clients.”
