The World’s Only Samsung Electronics Leveraged and Inverse Products Debut in Hong Kong Today

HONG KONG, May 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — CSOP Asset Management Limited (CSOP), one of Asia’s largest ETF issuers and a pioneer in leveraged and inverse products (L&I products), announces the launch of the CSOP Samsung Electronics Daily (2x) Leveraged Product (HKD counter: 7747.HK,  USD counter: 9747.HK) and CSOP Samsung Electronics Daily (-2x) Inverse Product (HKD counter: 7347.HK,  USD counter: 9347.HK) on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEX) on 28 May 2025. These groundbreaking products—the world’s only L&I products tracking Samsung Electronics—are designed to empower investors with strategic tools to capitalize on short-term volatility and hedge risks in Korea’s most iconic stock, now accessible in a time zone-aligned market, following the successful launch of Asia’s first batch of nine single stock L&I products in Hong Kong in March 2025.

Samsung Electronics (Samsung), a global tech titan, dominates as Korea’s largest publicly traded company by market capitalization, and is consistently included in the world’s top listed companies by market value with 5.16 million domestic shareholders[1]. Nevertheless, no L&I products for Samsung are available in the global market. However, Hong Kong’s proximity to Korean trading hours (vs. U.S./Europe) and CSOP’s expertise in L&I products solutions position these L&I products as a game-changer for tactical trading and hedging.

In order to track the two times daily performance and two times inverse of the daily performance (before fees and expenses) of the common stock of Samsung Electronics Co Ltd, the two products deploy a swap-based synthetic replication strategy, with a listing price of about 7.8 HKD (1 USD) per unit, trading lot of 100, and management fee of 1.6% of the ETF’s net asset value per year.

For investors who are bullish on Samsung, leveraged product can help them gain greater exposure to Samsung, while inverse product can serve as a hedging tool during short-term volatility in Samsung’s share price. For investors seeking tactical positioning during regional trading hours, instruments such as Samsung L&I products offer efficient exposure adjustment capabilities. L&I products offer several advantages, including no margin calls, zero collateral requirements, no financing costs, transparent pricing and capped maximum leverage.

“We are pleased to announce the listing of CSOP Samsung Electronics Daily (2x) Leveraged Product and CSOP Samsung Electronics Daily (-2x) Inverse Product on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.” said, Ms. Ding Chen, CEO of CSOP Asset Management “As a leading ETF issuer in the APAC region with a 99% market share in leveraged and inverse products in Hong Kong[2], CSOP is committed to offering diversified investment options. The introduction of Samsung Electronics’ only L&I products globally in Hong Kong offers chances to capitalize on short-term market fluctuations.”

As Korea’s largest publicly traded company by market capitalization, Samsung dominates global markets through its four core divisions: 1) Semiconductors, 2) Display Panels, 3) Mobile Communications, and 4) Consumer Electronics[3]. The company holds world leadership positions across key sectors, serving as the largest manufacturer of OLED panels, televisions, smartphones, and DRAM memory chips[4]. Its semiconductor division ranks among Asia’s top two producers, contributing to Samsung’s consistent inclusion in the world’s top 50 listed companies by market value[5].

Bobby Lehew Named commonsku’s Chief AI Officer — an Industry First in Promo

Published

April 20, 2026

By

TORONTO, April 20, 2026 /CNW/ – commonsku, the connected workflow platform trusted by 950+ distributors driving $1.9 billion in network volume, today announced the creation of a dedicated AI + Strategy role, promoting Bobby Lehew to Chief AI Officer to lead the company’s AI initiative for customers and the platform. The move makes commonsku the first platform in the promotional products industry to invest at the leadership level in AI strategy shaped directly by distributor needs.

The new role bridges the gap between what AI can do and what commonsku’s customers need it to solve, owning the intelligence loop between customers, product, and the AI landscape. What makes the role distinct: it combines AI landscape intelligence, product strategy influence, direct customer engagement, and industry thought leadership in a single role.

A Natural Evolution

Lehew brings more than 30 years of experience in the promotional products industry to the role. Prior to joining commonsku, he was the CEO of Robyn Promotions, a company among the first wave of distributors who architected the model of technology driven e-commerce company stores in the industry, earning three consecutive Inc. 5000 rankings. Always tech-forward in his work, his industry recognition includes multiple Gold and Silver PPAI Pyramid Awards.

The shift to AI strategy is a natural next chapter for Lehew. At commonsku, he built the company’s content engine from scratch — co-hosting the skucast (350+ episodes, the #1 promotional products podcast) while leaning heavily into AI for all his work. He is editor of The AI Promo Brief, the industry’s go-to resource for AI developments in promotional products, and speaks frequently on the future of merch and the cultural shifts transforming how we sell. At PPAI Expo 2026, his AI session packed the room to capacity and was named a must-attend session by PPAI editors. The industry has been watching Lehew move deeper into AI for over a year. This role makes it official.

Investing in AI for Customers

“The industry is at an inflection point with AI, and distributors need a partner who understands their business,” said Catherine Graham, CEO of commonsku. “commonsku has always been built ‘by promo, for promo.’ Bobby has three decades of that expertise, a passion for helping our customers, and the strategic insight to shape AI tools for future growth. This role reflects our mission: making sure our AI tools solve real problems for real distributors.”

“The companies pulling ahead are the ones leading with customer intelligence – letting what they learn from their community shape what they build and advancing with the frontier of AI development. That’s what this role is designed to do. I’ll be talking with our customers at every level about AI and making sure the features we build make work smarter, drive growth, and eliminate friction.” said Lehew.

“Bobby and I have been creative partners for years, always pushing each other to see around corners for this industry,” said Mark Graham, President of commonsku. “We’ve launched multiple projects together and helped educate and raise the standard for what the future distributor can look like. This role is a natural evolution of that passion. He deeply understands the industry and the distributor’s pain points, and he sees with us an incredible opportunity with AI. We’re thrilled to build commonsku’s AI future together.”

commonsku’s AI investments are already in motion. The skubot Mockup Generator is in beta with Advanced and Enterprise customers, a new Opportunity Agent is entering beta as an AI-powered business intelligence tool, and the company’s immediate roadmap includes a Description Rewriter, Auto-Art Configuration, and a Presentation Generator with much more to come.

About commonsku

Built by industry experts, it combines CRM, order management, and social collaboration tools in one cloud-based solution.

The Oxygen Plan Corporation Files Utility Patent on O2OS™ Pre-Diagnostic Behavioral Health Architecture — Measurement, Routing, Reimbursement, Governance; 2008 Prior Art

Four-layer architecture spans measurement, routing, reimbursement, and governance. 2008 filing predates the Apple App Store and the current generation of digital behavioral health platforms.

MINNEAPOLIS, April 20, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — The Oxygen Plan Corporation today filed a Track One (prioritized examination) utility patent application covering the O2OS™ architecture — spanning measurement, routing, reimbursement, and governance — with foundational disclosures dating to April 22, 2008.

We built the pre-diagnostic measurement layer to make risk visible before it becomes a clinical event. Our role is architecture and calibration. Deployment, operations, and vertical execution sit with institutional partners. — Eric Lucas, Founder-Governor • The Oxygen Plan Corporation

O2OS™ establishes a structured, pre-diagnostic measurement framework that makes behavioral health risk visible, routable, and economically measurable before it becomes a clinical event.

The 2008 filing predates the launch of the Apple App Store.

The subsequent 2009 PCT publication predates the current generation of digital behavioral health platforms.

THE ARCHITECTURE

O2OS™ is a four-layer operating system for behavioral health:

Measurement — Stress Number™, a composite score across Home, Work, and Social domains (each scored 0–100), designed to produce a bounded, interoperable pre-diagnostic behavioral health signalRouting — Smart Referral Engine™, threshold-triggered and tri-hierarchical, designed to match individuals to appropriate resourcesReimbursement — CPT-aligned workflow support, intended to enable billing integrationGovernance — the Automated Governance Utility™, a license registry and access control layer designed to support neutrality and structured participation

The system operates as a closed-loop architecture in which pre-diagnostic measurement informs routing, routing aligns with reimbursement pathways, and governance enables coordinated operation at scale.

STRUCTURAL GAPS

Behavioral health systems currently operate with two unresolved structural gaps:

Penetration Gap — the majority of individuals remain unmeasured at the pre-diagnostic stageRouting Gap — measured individuals are not consistently routed to appropriate resources

O2OS™ is designed as a pre-diagnostic measurement and routing architecture that addresses both conditions within a unified system.

FEDERAL ALIGNMENT

O2OS™ is aligned with established federal and reimbursement pathways, including CMS Coverage with Evidence Development (CED), CPT 96127 and CPT 96138, Medicaid 1115 Waivers, HEDIS quality measures, and CMS Aim 1 for prevention and early detection.

CLINICAL VALIDATION

Stress Number™ has been validated working in collaboration with Mayo Clinic (Archives of Psychology, 2018, N=292). O2OS™ functions as a pre-diagnostic measurement layer designed to support routing toward existing clinical tools and workflows.

About The Oxygen Plan Corporation

The Oxygen Plan Corporation develops O2OS™ — a pre-diagnostic measurement, routing, reimbursement, and governance architecture for behavioral health. Foundational disclosures date to 2008 prior art, with peer-reviewed clinical validation conducted working in collaboration with Mayo Clinic.
