Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix have seen their stock prices soar, prompting significant fund sell-offs due to single-stock position limits. Samsung's stock has increased over 400%, while SK Hynix has surged more than 1,000% in the past year, pushing both companies' market capitalizations beyond $1 trillion. As a result, institutions like GAM Investment Management and Jupiter Asset Management are rebalancing portfolios to comply with a 10% cap on individual stock exposure.
This rebalancing has led to a net outflow of $586 billion from South Korean stocks in 2026, with $58.6 billion specifically from Samsung and SK Hynix. Goldman Sachs estimates that position limits have triggered $69 billion in selling since October last year. Some investors are turning to alternative assets for semiconductor exposure, as further selling pressure may arise if these stocks' market weight continues to grow.
