No.1 Among Active Equity ETFs

[Asia Economy Reporter Minji Lee] Samsung Asset Management announced on the 25th that among the eight actively managed ETFs simultaneously listed last month, the ‘KODEX K-Miraecha Active ETF’ achieved the highest return of 8.41%. Its net assets also ranked first among equity active ETFs at 69.34 billion KRW.

The KODEX K-Miraecha Active ETF is a product that invests in industries connected to a new concept of automobiles that did not previously exist, focusing on autonomous driving, electrification, and eco-friendly components. As of the previous day, it invests in Kia (8.56%), Hyundai Motor (8.53%), SK Innovation (5.48%), among others. Samsung Asset Management explained that the high returns were due to the stock prices of automobile and electronic parts companies rising as the shortage of automotive semiconductors is likely to have passed its peak.

This ETF invests not only in renewable energy industries such as solar power, wind power, and secondary batteries but also in all eco-friendly technologies and industries contributing to carbon reduction, holding stocks like CS Wind (8.33%), Hanwha Solutions (7.41%), and Samkang M&T (7.16%).

Im Taehyuk, head of the ETF management team at Samsung Asset Management, stated, “Recently, investor interest in active ETFs has increased,” adding, “As the industry’s top asset manager, we will continue to strive to deliver good performance.”
