Korea - KOSPI Conviction Book

KOSPI exposure for US-based investors. Most names trade as OTC ADRs; KRX-direct names (.KS suffix) need IBKR or a similar broker with Korean cash-equity access. The case as of May 2026: the Korea Discount is narrowing (Value-Up Index +130% since Sep 2024, KOSPI +75% year on year, Macquarie projecting +48% earnings growth for 2026, bank payout ratios mandated to rise from 36% to 50%+ by the end of 2026), and the holdco names (HYMTF, SSGQF, 402340.KS) trade at 40-50%+ discounts to NAV. The memory leg overlaps with the AI memory bubble.
