What if you invested monthly in TIGER Nasdaq 100 (KR-listed) for 5 years?
This looks at putting the same amount every month for 5 years into TIGER Nasdaq 100, a Korea-listed ETF tracking the Nasdaq 100. Even holding the same index, a Korea-listed product is priced in won, so its currency exposure and taxation differ from the US-listed QQQ.

Why this period and asset
TIGER Nasdaq 100 tracks the US tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 but is listed in won on the Korean market, making it popular in pension and IRP accounts. This 5-year window starts near the 2021 tech peak, runs straight through the large 2022 correction, and captures what followed. Because it is Korea-listed, trades settle in won, but since the underlying index is a US asset, won/dollar moves feed into the return alongside the index performance.
Interpreting the result
The Nasdaq 100 is tech-heavy and among the more volatile indices, and this window had a substantial maximum drawdown and a long loss period from the 2022 correction, followed by time to recover. Monthly investing keeps buying at lower prices during that decline, lowering your average cost. But as a Korea-listed product, the won/dollar effect stacks on top of the index performance, so the won-based return can differ from the US-listed QQQ holding the same Nasdaq 100 — an important distinction to understand.
Caveats & limits
This result simplifies dividends, trading fees and taxes, and past performance does not guarantee the future. TIGER Nasdaq 100 is a Korea-listed won (KRW) product, so the figures are in Korean won, but since the underlying is a US index, won/dollar moves are reflected in the return. Tech concentration can make the maximum drawdown deep and the loss period long, and Korea-listed versus US-listed products are taxed differently, which can change the actual after-tax return.

Frequently asked questions
How does the Korea-listed Nasdaq 100 differ from the US QQQ?
They track the same index, but the Korea-listed one trades in won and is taxed differently. For both, won/dollar moves affect the won-based return.
Why is 5 years considered short?
This window starts near the 2021 peak and runs straight through the large 2022 correction. Over shorter windows the entry timing matters more, so the maximum drawdown and loss period can stand out sharply.
Does currency affect the return?
Yes. It is Korea-listed and trades in won, but the underlying is a US index, so as the won/dollar rate moves the won-based return changes with it.
