Energy Security and the HALO Theme: Reinforcing Investment Strategies via HANARO CAPEX Facilities Investment iSelect ETF

According to NH-Amundi Asset Management's latest 'HANARO ETF Monthly Report,' increasing geopolitical risks in the Middle East — particularly the ongoing US-Iran tensions and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz — have heightened market uncertainty and drawn investor attention towards the HALO (Heavy Assets, Low Obsolescence) thematic strategy. The HALO theme targets sectors such as power, utilities, pipelines, and railways, which involve large-scale physical assets not easily replaced by technological shifts. NH-Amundi underscores the rising importance of national security assets amid the energy security crisis, AI infrastructure expansion, and accelerating reshoring of industries.
The HANARO CAPEX Facilities Investment iSelect ETF includes major Korean power facility and heavy equipment companies, including LS ELECTRIC, Hyosung Heavy Industries, and Doosan Enerbility. By focusing on companies involved with nuclear power, power grid reinforcement, and expanding data center demand, the ETF aims to offer investors comprehensive exposure to themes resilient to geopolitical shocks. NH-Amundi positions the HALO theme as particularly attractive in times of high market volatility, presenting it as a way to build a stable, long-term portfolio. The significance of investing in infrastructure, capital expenditure, and national security-related firms is expected to become even more prominent going forward.
