The purpose of this study is to analyze the Korean ETF market, which is experiencing a rapid increase in the number of stocks, to identify the degree of investment efficiency and to present investment directions. The methodology and procedure are ETF yield, change trends, correlation and regression analysis of the ETFs traded between 2010 and 2018. As a result, the total return of domestic ETFs was 3.51%, which was lower than the KOSPI growth rate and the return on equity ETFs was 4.03%, which was low. Leverage ETF yields were below 3%, which was low. The return on bond and currency ETFs was less than 1%. The most profitable ETFs were index ETFs, followed by domestic and leveraged ETFs. This study has contributed to establishing considerations when purchasing ETFs from the viewpoint of investors. Future research will present the direction of ETF investment more precisely.

The purpose of this research is to analyze the ETF market, which has a large increase in the number of listed shares and the market capitalization, and to identify the investment effects of ETFs. The study procedure and method used to calculate the return and change trend of ETFs for the sample of the transaction information, the transaction amount, and the market capitalization for the period from 2010 to 2018, and performed correlation and regression analysis. As a result, the ETF's total return was 2.11%, the domestic underwriting market ETF yield was 2.39%, and the stock ETF yield was 2.59%, which was lower than the KOSPI 200 index and the KOSPI 200 index. Index ETF was 2.63%, followed by stock ETF and oversea underwriting market ETF. The problem with ETF investment is that the annual return of ETFs and domestic ETFs is as low as 2%, which is not enough for investors to expect more than 5%. The study contributes to the realization of the ETF by analyzing the actual effect of the investment and to establishing considerations when buying ETFs from the viewpoint of investors. The direction of the research is to accumulate more ETF data and present the investment direction precisely.

Neural networks have been used to predict the direction of stock index movement from past data. The conventional research that predicts the upward or downward movement of the stock index predicts a rise or fall even with small changes in the index. It is highly likely that losses will occur when trading ETFs by use of the prediction. In this paper, a neural network model that predicts the movement direction of the daily KOrea composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI) to reduce ETF trading losses and earn more than a certain amount per trading is presented. The proposed model has outputs that represent rising (change rate in index ${\geq}{\alpha}$), falling (change rate ${\leq}-{\alpha}$) and neutral ($-{\alpha}$ change rate < ${\alpha}$). If the forecast is rising, buy the Leveraged Exchange Traded Fund (ETF); if it is falling, buy the inverse ETF. The hit ratio (HR) of PNN1 implemented in this paper is 0.720 and 0.616 in the learning and the evaluation respectively. ETF trading yields a yield of 8.386 to 16.324 %. The proposed models show the better ETF trading success rate and yield than the neural network models predicting KOSPI.
