Samsung Asset Management and Shinhan Asset Management's Movements in the Korean ETF Market
Samsung Asset Management's KODEX Korean Real Estate REITs Infrastructure ETF has achieved a milestone of continuous net purchases by individual investors for 100 trading days, accumulating a total influx of 116.6 billion KRW. This is a first in the domestic ETF market and is attributed to the recent rate cuts by the Bank of Korea, which have increased the attractiveness of investments in real estate REITs and infrastructure assets. This ETF boasts a high dividend yield of about 9% and offers segregated taxation benefits for dividend income up to 50 million KRW, making it appealing to high-net-worth individuals and pension account investors.
Meanwhile, Shinhan Asset Management and Hanwha Asset Management are showing outstanding performances in thematic ETFs. Shinhan's 'SOL U.S. Quantum Computing TOP10' topped the domestic ETF market with a one-month return of 41.19%. Additionally, Hanwha's 'PLUS K-Defense' ETF has drawn attention with a six-month return of 126.65% in the defense sector theme. These remarkable achievements are contributing to the expansion of both asset managers' market shares.
On another note, following the first regular rebalancing of the Korea Value Up Index, the net asset value of related ETFs increased by only 1.1% to 1.2%. 'KODEX Korea Value Up' and 'TIGER Korea Value Up' aim to enhance stock values through shareholder returns, yet have struggled to significantly capture investor interest post-rebalancing. The limited influx of liquidity indicates a need for more proactive marketing and investor engagement strategies.
