ACE Envida Value Chain Active ETF Breaks 260 Billion... Capital Flows into Artificial Intelligence Semiconductors

The net assets of the “ACE Nvidia Value Chain Active” listed index fund used by Korean investment trusts have exceeded 260 billion won, with funds rapidly flowing into the entire artificial intelligence semiconductor industry.

According to data from the Korea Exchange on the 7th, the ETF’s net assets reached 260.9 billion won based on the closing price on the 6th. After surpassing 250 billion won with 250.8 billion won on the 4th, it increased by about 10 billion won in just one day. Net assets are a representative indicator of investor capital concentration; a short-term increase in size indicates heightened market attention to related products.

This product is based on the KEDI Global Artificial Intelligence Semiconductor Index, adopting a structure centered on Nvidia, investing in the entire value chain including semiconductor design, manufacturing, equipment, and components. As of the 6th, Nvidia’s share was 20.9%, with TSMC, SK Hynix, Vitec Technologies, Intel, and Lumientum among the top components. Its characteristic is not focusing on a single company but diversifying investments across the overall growth potential of the AI semiconductor ecosystem.

The recent influx of funds is driven by the expanding trend of the global semiconductor market. As the market approaches a trillion dollars in scale, the spread of generative artificial intelligence has rapidly increased demand for high-performance semiconductors, raising expectations for Nvidia and related supply chain companies. Especially, the semiconductor industry is often not driven solely by the performance of one company but involves interconnected operations among design firms, foundries, memory chip companies, power, and communication equipment companies. Therefore, related ETFs are gaining attention as alternative investment options.

Performance also supports the inflow of funds. Korean investment trusts report that the ACE Nvidia Value Chain Active ETF has achieved a return of 35.92% over the past month, the highest among value chain-based overseas equity products. The high return has triggered additional buying, creating a continuous inflow trend. However, stocks related to semiconductors and artificial intelligence tend to have large price fluctuations due to rapid reflection of expectations, and in the future, the flow of funds may continue based on performance and global technological investment trends.
