Shifting Trends in the ETF Market: Share Buybacks and High Dividend Strategies
Hanwha Asset Management has introduced a new ETF named 'PLUS Share Buyback High Dividend ETF', sparking interest among investors. This ETF employs a strategy of focusing on the top 30 companies in the KOSPI index with the highest combined dividend yield and share buyback rate. The launch highlights investors' expanding interests beyond traditional high-dividend stocks to include companies enhancing shareholder value through share buybacks. Companies like Meritz Financial Group, which have pivoted towards share buybacks for shareholder returns, are expected to be part of this ETF's portfolio.
The government’s initiatives to mandate share buyback cancellations and separate dividend income taxation are expected to effectively address undervaluation issues. The ETF plans to provide a monthly dividend payout in the 4% range, a move supported by such policy incentives that aim to create a healthy growth environment in the capital market, ultimately maximizing investor returns. Through the PLUS ETF, investors can employ various strategies to target stable dividend income along with value appreciation.
Meanwhile, KB Asset Management's 'RISE AI&Robot ETF' has attracted significant attention, surpassing 200 billion won in net assets. This ETF reflects expectations for growth in the AI and robotics sectors, investing in various innovative industries closely linked with governmental policies. It includes leading tech enterprises like NAVER and LG CNS. Recent performance figures are impressive, with a 6-month return of 10.49% and a 1-year return of 37.47%, bolstering an optimistic outlook for related industries. The market response demonstrates strengthening positive forecasts for future industry developments.
