Korean retail investors have made substantial investments in U.S. stocks, owning 31% of a prominent quantum computing stock and 17% of another. They also hold 19% of an AI-related firm involved in small modular reactors. Among their top 50 U.S. holdings, eight are leveraged ETFs, including a single-stock ETF where they own 40%. This trend highlights the impact of Korean retail investors on price movements in illiquid U.S. stocks, with comparisons drawn to the retail trading behavior seen in Taiwan.
