The two biggest\ncompanies in the world for memory, SK Hynix and Samsung, will initially\nrepresent approximately 40% of the portfolio.\n\nOutside of the memory leaders, the fund will also provide exposure to leading\nKorean companies in Materials & Equipment, Manufacturing & Packaging,\nSubstrates & Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), and Testing.\n\n“AI is driving a new memory cycle, and Korea is home to critical leading\nmemory companies,” continued Wu. “It is also home to a core group of\nsuppliers well-positioned to participate in this ongoing upcycle.
