Southern East Securities Increases SK Hynix Leveraged Fund Option Position Limit to Meet Market Demand

2 hours ago

June 22 (Bloomberg) — CSOP Asset Management Ltd. will raise the options investment limit for its $14.4 billion leveraged ETF tied to South Korean chipmaker SK Hynix. The move comes after a sharp rally in SK Hynix’s stock, which will grant the fund’s managers increased operational flexibility. In a Sunday statement, CSOP announced the adjustment, effective Tuesday: the fund may now allocate up to 49% of its net asset value (NAV) to options, up from the prior cap of 40%. This 40% limit was itself an increase from the 25% level set back in May of this year. SK Hynix’s shares have been surging amid robust demand for its High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) chips, driven by the global AI boom. This rally has attracted large inflows into the 2x leveraged ETF. To maintain the product’s leverage target and accommodate the fund’s rapid growth, CSOP has been gradually loosening limits on its use of options and other derivatives.

Berenberg: Conventional DRAM prices may continue to rise in 2027, HBM faces profit catch-up pressure

June 22nd – Analysts at Bernstein stated in a recent report that commodity DRAM, which saw a roughly 4.5x price surge from the third quarter of 2025 to the second quarter of 2026, may continue its upward price trajectory in 2027. As a result, current commodity DRAM already boasts an average selling price per bit that matches, or even exceeds, that of High Bandwidth Memory (HBM), per the firm’s analysis. Bernstein noted that thanks to higher bit density and yield, this year’s revenue per wafer for commodity DRAM could double that of HBM, translating to a significantly higher profit margin. The institution estimated HBM prices would need to rise roughly threefold to match commodity DRAM’s revenue per wafer. However, memory chip manufacturers are unlikely to pursue aggressive price hikes for HBM, as they recognize the technology’s high costs could hinder the broader artificial intelligence ecosystem’s development and ultimately dampen overall memory demand.

Japan's National Corporate Pension Fund is considering investing in cryptocurrency to diversify exchange rate risk

June 22: Japan’s National Commercial Business Pension Fund, which is supported by about 1,200 small and medium-sized enterprises based in Okayama City, plans to start investing in cryptocurrencies in fiscal year 2026. While some Japanese companies have previously dabbled in crypto assets, it remains relatively unusual for a domestic pension fund to directly participate in crypto investments. The fund intends to allocate roughly 1% of its total assets to cryptocurrency, via indirect investments in passive funds managed by large hedge funds that hold a range of crypto assets. Regarding asset allocation, its 2025 fiscal year breakdown is 80% in Japanese yen, 15% in U.S. dollars, and 5% in other currencies. For fiscal 2026, the planned adjustments are: lower yen holdings to 70%, add a 10% allocation to developed-market currencies, and assign the remaining 5% to emerging-market currencies, gold, and crypto assets. The core goal of this shift is to diversify exchange rate risk. Ai T
