Korea Investment & Securities Launches Four New ETNs Tracking Solactive Gold and Silver Total Return Leveraged Indices

FRANKFURT AM MAIN – Korea Investment & Securities Co., Ltd. launched four new ETNs tracking the 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, respectively. The products are designed to provide exposure to the performance of gold and silver futures strategies through transparent and rules-based index methodologies.

Gold and silver continue to be closely monitored by market participants, particularly during periods of macroeconomic uncertainty, geopolitical developments, and changing interest rate expectations. As widely recognized precious metals and portfolio diversifiers, both assets remain important reference points in global financial markets. In this context, listed products linked to gold and silver indices can provide standardized exposure to defined precious metals futures strategies.

The Solactive Gold Total Return 1x Long Leverage Index and the Solactive Gold Total Return 1x Short Leverage Index are derived from the Solactive Future Series 5-Day Roll Gold Excess Return USD Index. Solactive Silver Total Return 1x Long Leverage Index and the Solactive Silver Total Return 1x Short Leverage Index are derived from the Solactive Future Series 5-Day Roll Silver Excess Return USD Index. The indices incorporate a defined leverage factor, interest rate effects, and daily financing adjustments. All four indices are calculated intraday and publish an official closing level for each calculation day, with a daily rebalancing mechanism applied.

The ETNs were listed on 21 May 2026 on the Korea Exchange (KRX) under the following ticker codes:

ETN Name	Ticker Code
KIS Gold Futures ETN	570121.KS
KIS Inverse Gold Futures ETN	570122.KS

Timo Pfeiffer, Chief Markets Officer at Solactive, commented: “We are pleased to further expand our collaboration with Korea Investment & Securities through the launch of these new ETNs. Gold and silver remain closely followed asset classes among market participants, and the indices provide transparent and rules-based access to long and short precious metals exposure.”
