Samsung Asset Management Launches 'KODEX Shareholder Return High Dividend ETF'
Samsung Asset Management has announced the launch of the 'KODEX Shareholder Return High Dividend ETF', reflecting South Korea's new shareholder return policy. This ETF targets companies with high dividend preferences that meet the government’s shareholder return policy criteria. Comprising up to 30 selected companies, it includes those with a dividend propensity of 40% or above, or those that have increased their dividends by at least 10% from the previous year, among top shareholder return yielding firms. Notably, firms that have announced share buybacks and cancellations constitute about 55% of the portfolio, with the added benefit of monthly distributions providing steady income to investors.
This ETF does not simply track high dividend stocks but strategically incorporates the government's shareholder return policy, suggesting a more sustainable and strategic approach to investment. This move is a proactive adaptation to the evolving market trends set by new governmental policies and offers investors a promising opportunity. Stock prices are expected to positively react, driven by heightened interest in shareholder returns.
