Korea Investment lists four gold and silver ETNs on KRX

Korea Investment & Securities listed four ETNs on the Korea Exchange on May 21, 2026, tracking Solactive 1x long and short total return indices for gold and silver.

Korea Investment & Securities listed four exchange-traded notes on the Korea Exchange on May 21, 2026. The ETNs track Solactive Gold Total Return 1x Long Leverage Index, Solactive Gold Total Return 1x Short Leverage Index, Solactive Silver Total Return 1x Long Leverage Index and Solactive Silver Total Return 1x Short Leverage Index.

The ETNs provide rules-based exposure to futures strategies for gold and silver. The Solactive indexes are derived from the Future Series 5-Day Roll Excess Return USD family for each metal, which means the indexes account for the timing of futures contract rolls and the excess return methodology used to measure performance.

Each index applies a defined 1x long or 1x short leverage factor and incorporates interest rate effects and daily financing adjustments. Index values are calculated intraday and an official closing level is published for each trading day. A daily rebalancing process is applied to maintain the intended exposure and leverage profile.

The listed notes deliver separate long and short 1x exposures that track the underlying total return indexes in either direction. Issued by Korea Investment & Securities and traded on the KRX, the ETNs let investors access those futures-based index strategies through exchange-traded securities rather than by trading futures contracts directly.

Gold and silver prices are often monitored for changes in macroeconomic conditions, geopolitical developments and interest rate expectations. Securities linked to precious metal futures are commonly used as hedges or portfolio diversifiers. The new listings add to the set of exchange-traded options available to investors in South Korea.

All four ETNs began trading on the Korea Exchange on May 21, 2026.
