Hana Securities and Meritz Securities Have Launched New ETNs, Tracking Solactive Natural Gas Total Return Leverage Indices

*The names of the issuers mentioned in this press release appear in alphabetical order.

Solactive is pleased to announce its collaboration with Hana Securities and Meritz Securities in supporting the launch of a suite of Exchange Traded Notes (ETNs) tracking the Solactive Natural Gas Leverage Indices. The new products aim to provide Korean investors with transparent and rules-based access to leveraged and unleveraged exposure in the natural gas market, offering strategies for both bullish and bearish outlooks.

Natural gas has become one of the most dynamic segments of the global commodity complex, with prices driven by seasonal demand cycles, production levels, and geopolitical influences. These characteristics create a fertile environment for leveraged investment strategies. The Solactive Natural Gas Index Series addresses this demand by enabling investors to gain exposure to the sector with varying leverage profiles, while offering the asset diversification in the portfolio as commodity.

The Solactive Natural Gas Total Return 2x Short Leverage, Solactive Natural Gas Total Return 2x Long Leverage and Solactive Natural Gas Total Return 1x Long Leverage indices are derived from a Henry Hub Natural Gas Rolling Futures Index, calculated on a total return basis. The methodology applies leverage factors of -2x, +2x, and +1x, enabling investors to pursue bearish, bullish or neutral strategies. The transparent and rules-based construction provides an efficient foundation for ETNs tailored to both directional and hedging use cases.

All ETNs are listed on September 16, 2025, on the Korean Stock Exchange (KRX) with the ticker codes:

Hana 2X Natural Gas Futures ETN(H), ticker code KRG700000315 (Q700031)
