Investment Trusts Engage in ETF Fee Reduction Competition
Korean Investment Trust Management Co. (KITMC) has decided to significantly lower its ETF management fees, following recent trends of fee reduction competition within the ETF sector. This move focuses on lowering fees for ETFs tracking gold spot prices and major indices in Korea and the U.S., as a strategic response to fee reductions by competitors, including Mirae Asset. However, with intensified scrutiny by the Financial Supervisory Service, immediate implementation of these changes may face delays.
Simultaneously, KB Asset Management has climbed to the third position in the domestic ETF market, surpassing KITMC, highlighting its strong performance. KB possesses a pronounced advantage in domestic bond ETFs, while KITMC is more concentrated on overseas stock and gold spot ETFs. Analysts view KITMC’s examination of fee reduction as a strategic effort to attract more investors. There is industry consensus that appropriate fee cuts could further enhance the competitive stance of ETFs.
Spotlight on EV and Battery Sector ETFs
Korea Investment & Securities has launched the 'ACE BYD Value Chain Active' ETF, bringing attention to the burgeoning electric vehicle sector. This ETF is based on the Bloomberg BYD Plus Top Supply Chain Index, consisting of key suppliers related to BYD's batteries and electric vehicle components. Given BYD's commanding 21.1% market share, leading the electric vehicle sector, the new ETF aims to attract investment interests targeting this area.
In the domestic ETF market, Mirae Asset Global Investment's 'TIGER Secondary Battery TOP10' ETF witnessed a 14.06% increase last week, gathering significant attention. Additionally, the leveraged versions, 'TIGER Secondary Battery TOP10 Leverage' and Samsung Asset Management's 'KODEX Secondary Battery Industry Leverage' recorded impressive returns of 30.31% and 24.84%, respectively, showcasing robust investor enthusiasm. Furthermore, the newly listed product from VI Asset Management, 'FOCUS Alibaba US Treasury Covered Call Mix,' adds another dimension to the evolving ETF landscape.
Innovation in ETF-Based Retirement Pension Services
Mirae Asset Global Investments has launched the 'M-ROBO' service in collaboration with NH Nonghyup Bank, marking a pioneering move in the banking sector with an ETF-based retirement pension robo-advisor offering. This service, designed for Individual Retirement Pension (IRP) subscribers, aims to automate complex investment decisions and enhance efficiency through automated portfolio construction. Available on the NH Allone Bank app, users can choose from algorithm-driven ETF and fund investment options.
Meanwhile, KB Securities has introduced the 'Pension Insight' feature on its mobile trading system, KB M-able, offering a comprehensive view of pension investment information. This new initiative allows clients to visually analyze their assets while easily accessing trending ETF and fund data in the market. The feature also includes portfolio recommendations by experts, accompanied by easy-to-understand explanations and video content to enhance clients' understanding of pension investments.
