Global X Launches Asia Semiconductor ETF Covering Key Regional Chip Markets
The ACHP fund will invest in up to 25 semiconductor companies across Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, China, Hong Kong and Southeast Asia.
-Global X Management Company LLC (“Global X”), the New York-based provider of exchange-traded funds (ETFs), announced the launch of the Global X Asia Semiconductor ETF (ticker ACHP).
ACHP (“the Fund”) seeks to invest in companies that are positioned to benefit from the growth and advancement of the Asian semiconductor ecosystem. This includes companies involved in semiconductor chip manufacturing as well as semiconductor design and related intellectual property and software enablement.
Although the semiconductor industry has expanded globally, Asia’s leadership in the space is undeniable. The Fund aims to track an index of up to 25 companies across Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, China, Hong Kong, and Southeast Asia that delivers access to the regional semiconductor ecosystem.
“We know that markets are cyclical, but innovation is persistent. That’s why we work so hard to spot powerful macro trends that can be transformed into tangible investment opportunities over the long run,” said Global X CEO Ryan O’Connor. “That’s the key to unlocking new frontiers of growth. And it’s why we have such high conviction in the semiconductor space.”
Global X has 17 ETFs designed to target companies involved in a broad category known as disruptive technologies, including those that invest in robotics, cybersecurity, and data centers. The firm’s largest disruptive technology fund – launched more than four years before the public release of ChatGPT – is the $10.56 billion Artificial Intelligence & Technology ETF (ticker AIQ), which aims to invest in the wider AI-driven ecosystem, as of October 12, 2026.
ACHP is part of a suite of ETFs recently launched by Global X that seek to provide investors with targeted exposure to specialized segments of the technology supply chain via a single, transparent ETF. The suite includes the Global X LLM ETF (ticker LLMA) that seeks to provide targeted exposure to companies involved in large language models, and the Global X MLCC & Electronic Components ETF (ticker MLCC), which is focused on the manufacturers of multi-layer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) and related components.
ACHP is designed to capture both established leaders in semiconductor manufacturing as well as design innovators across Asian markets.
“The semiconductor industry is incredibly complex and capital intensive. Asia in particular is known for its dominance in global semiconductor manufacturing, earning it the nickname ‘the factory of chips,’” said Pedro Palandrani, Head of Product Research & Development at Global X. “Any disruptions in the region from geopolitical tensions to natural disasters can affect the production of a wide array of products elsewhere in the world.”
ACHP is a passively managed fund that seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the Global X Asia Semiconductor Index, designed to identify companies deriving significant revenue or a significant portion of their revenue from key segments of the semiconductor value chain.
