BlockBeats news, June 30 – Goldman Sachs' Timothy Moe and John Kwon pointed out that each one-percentage-point increase in the combined weight of Samsung and SK Hynix in the Korea stock index could cause foreign investors to withdraw about $2 billion from the Korean market, as the U.S. Investment Company Act requires portfolios to meet diversification thresholds.

Goldman Sachs also stated that large inflows into leveraged ETFs, combined with increased options trading and margin retail trading, create a structural environment where daily price swings far exceed what corporate fundamentals can support. South Korea's asset management scale growth since last year has mainly come from investment returns, not new inflows.

As valuations climb, institutional investors' mechanical exposure to market volatility also increases—often related to hedging strategies. This means that even a moderate market pullback could trigger a cascade of forced selling.
