Intel's transformation reveals new logic in semiconductor investment: Why global expansion surpasses regional focus?

Recently, the chip giant $Intel (INTC.US)$ has shown remarkable stock price performance, driven by a grand strategic transformation from significant losses to receiving US government subsidies and key customer (As $NVIDIA (NVDA.US)$ 、 $Apple (AAPL.US)$ ) orders. This is not just a single company's self-rescue but clearly reveals a core trend: under the backdrop of artificial intelligence and global supply chain restructuring, the growth momentum of the semiconductor industry has deeply dispersed across the entire global value chain.

Core Advantage of a Global Perspective

$Intel (INTC.US)$ The case is highly enlightening: an American company’s recovery depends on its own technological breakthroughs, domestic policy support, and customer orders from around the globe. This perfectly reflects the modern semiconductor ecosystem of 'global R&D, manufacturing, and collaboration.'

Perspective Determines Height: Differences Between Global Deployment and Regional Focus

Investing in semiconductors essentially means investing in the infrastructure of global technological innovation. Currently, related ETFs on the market can mainly be divided into two categories:

– Regionally Focused Type: Primarily covering semiconductor companies in specific regions such as China or Asia. These products are significantly affected by regional industrial policies, market cycles, and geopolitical factors.

– Global Panorama Type: Gathering leading semiconductor companies globally to form a complete industrial puzzle.

$Samsung Bloomberg Global Semiconductor ETF (03132.HK)$ It is a representative of the latter. It is not limited to any single country or region but focuses on enabling investors to gain exposure to the top of the global semiconductor value chain with one investment.

$Samsung Bloomberg Global Semiconductor ETF (03132.HK)$ The fund's global allocation strategy highlights its ability to capture opportunities across the entire industry chain:The fund covers US design and equipment giants (such as $NVIDIA (NVDA.US)$ ), as well as Asia’s manufacturing leaders (such as $Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM.US)$ , Samsung), forming a complete industrial closed loop. Investors can simultaneously participate in technological breakthroughs and capacity cycles across different regions.

Diversification of regional and cyclical risks: Industry dynamics rotate between different regions and sub-sectors. A global allocation naturally smooths out market volatility or policy changes in a single region, making the portfolio more robust.

Focus on pure-play sectors: The fund strictly tracks global semiconductor companies, with a clear investment intent that directly aligns with overall industry growth, avoiding dilution from other industry factors.
