- Matthews Korea Active ETF (MKOR) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing at least 80% of its net assets in common and preferred stocks of companies located in South Korea. The fund employs a fundamental, bottom-up research approach to select 30-plus all-cap companies demonstrating sustainable growth potential, strong competitive moats, robust governance, and exposure to innovative sectors including semiconductors, information technology, biopharmaceuticals, new energy vehicles, e-commerce, and entertainment; top holdings as of recent data include Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. (10.7%), SK Hynix, Inc. (7.3%), and Samsung Biologics Co., Ltd. (3.3%), representing a high active share with differentiated picks often absent from standard Korea indices. Launched on July 17, 2023, and listed on the New York Stock Exchange, MKOR targets investors seeking tactical exposure to South Korea's export-driven economy and expanding domestic consumer base, with assets under management of approximately $64.7 million, a net expense ratio of 0.79%, and management by lead portfolio managers Michael Oh and Elli Lee alongside co-manager Sojung Park. Issued and managed by Matthews International Funds under Matthews Asia, an independent investment manager founded in 1991 and headquartered in San Francisco, California, the ETF forms part of Matthews Asia's suite of active ETFs focused on emerging markets and single-country strategies. In 2025, MKOR maintained steady operations amid South Korea's market dynamics, with no reported acquisitions, funding rounds, or major strategic shifts in the prior 1-2 years beyond ongoing portfolio adjustments to capture growth opportunities.
