Hanwha Cross-Lists Two Korean Equity ETFs in Abu Dhabi

Exchange Traded Concepts (ETC) has cross-listed two Hanwha Asset Management ETFs on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX), expanding their availability beyond their existing U.S. listings. The PLUS Korea Defense Industry Index ETF (KDEF) and PLUS Korea Manufacturing Core Alliance Index ETF (KMCA) began trading on ADX on November 2, 2026. KDEF, originally launched in the U.S. in February 2025, tracks Korean aerospace and defense companies, while KMCA, launched in May 2026, provides exposure to 35 Korean companies across six manufacturing sectors, including AI semiconductors, shipbuilding, power grids and nuclear energy. The cross-listings mark the funds' entry into a third market and highlight ETC's white-label platform capabilities in supporting international ETF distribution. Both are cross-listings of existing ETFs rather than new fund launches.
