Asset Management Firms Launch New KOSDAQ Active ETFs
In line with government policies to boost the KOSDAQ market, asset management firms are launching active ETFs based on KOSDAQ indices. Samsung Active Asset Management and Timefolio Asset Management have introduced ETFs aiming for returns above the KOSDAQ index, and Hanwha Asset Management is also preparing a KOSDAQ150 active ETF. Due to the high volatility and thematic rotation characteristics of the KOSDAQ market, active strategies are being viewed as potentially effective.
In the banking sector, products with high-interest rates are being launched. Woori Bank has come out with savings accounts offering a 10% interest rate, while OK Savings Bank and DB Savings Bank are offering parking accounts with various preferential rates. Such financial products are evaluated as attempts to provide stable returns amidst fluctuating economic conditions.
Meanwhile, an entrepreneur named Mr. A, who operates a small business, has recently adjusted his asset portfolio to focus on reducing volatility and securing stable assets. He transitioned from having 70% risky assets to a structure where 60% are safe assets by including dollar assets, U.S. Treasury ETFs, and gold ETFs. As part of a defensive choice, he also decided to allocate some weight to U.S. NASDAQ ETFs, S&P500 ETFs, and domestic KOSPI ETFs. This reflects his strategy to opt for safer asset management due to the uncertain global economic environment.
