Analysis of New Dividend ETFs and Active ETFs

As the popularity of the U.S. Dividend Dow Jones ETFs declines, investors are turning their focus to several alternative ETFs. Korea Investment Trust Management is preparing the 'ACE U.S. Dividend Quality' ETF, a product modeled after DGRW, which includes select growth potential stocks and is garnering attention. Additionally, Timefolio Asset Management's new active ETF follows indices similar to SCHD but aims for higher returns, marking a significant development in the ETF landscape.
In the domestic market, despite the underperformance of major sectors, active ETFs are registering impressive gains amid concerns over U.S. tariffs. Notably, the KOSPI active ETF has achieved an impressive return of 9.20%, surpassing both the KOSPI index and KOSPI100 ETF returns. ETFs with a high weighting in large-cap stocks showed relatively lower performance, although leading stocks in shipbuilding and defense sectors are drawing considerable attention. Meanwhile, domestic equity mutual funds exhibit robust performance, with the 'AssetPlus Korea Rich Together Long-term Income Deduction' fund registering an astounding 33.66% return, capturing the interest of investors.
