On October 23, 2026, the New York-based investment adviser xETFs launched the xETFs Samsung Group ETF (SMNG), the first U.S.-listed fund designed to provide exposure to the broader Samsung Group. The actively managed ETF tracks a portfolio across five industries, including technology, financials, consumer and services, industrials, and life sciences. The fund holds initial weightings of 20% in Samsung Electronics, 20% in Samsung Electro-Mechanics, and 7.5% in Samsung SDI. According to xETFs CEO Johnny Wu, the product was created because Samsung Group companies account for approximately 33% of the combined KOSPI and KOSDAQ market capitalization, yet none of these companies maintain direct U.S. listings.
