AI Is 20-to-30 Year Megatrend, ETF Father Warns Against Leverage Risk on July 21

AI Industry News Stocks

2026-07-22 00:49:53

According to an interview with Asia Economy News yesterday (July 21), Bae Jae-kyou, CEO of Korea Investment Trust Management and known as the father of ETFs, emphasized that artificial intelligence represents a 20-to-30 year megatrend comparable to historical breakthroughs like steam engines, electricity, and the internet. He cautioned individual investors against short-term speculation and urged focus on compound growth through long-term investing. Bae specifically warned about single-stock leveraged ETFs, explaining that volatility erodes capital even when underlying prices return to original levels. He illustrated the risk with a 2x leveraged example: while a base asset gains 25% then loses 20% (breaking even), a 2x product gains 50% then loses 40%, reducing capital from 100 to 90. Bae recommended patient investment in mega-tech companies supporting AI infrastructure.
