Samsung and SK Hynix Stocks Face Selling Pressure Amid Investment Limits

Global investors have been heavily investing in Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix stocks, but high stock prices have reached the 10% single-stock holding limit for some funds, forcing them to reduce their holdings. According to Odaily, Zurich-based GAM Investment Management and Singapore's Jupiter Asset Management have adjusted their portfolios to comply with these limits. As of Thursday, global investors have net sold $63.6 billion worth of South Korean stocks, marking the largest monthly sell-off since 1999. Goldman Sachs analysts noted that if the market concentration of Samsung and SK Hynix continues to rise, there could be additional selling pressure in the future, although most of the forced selling has already been completed.
