Hanwha Launches 'TDF Active ETF'.. Invest in TDF through ETF

[Asia Economy Reporter Junho Hwang] Hanwha Asset Management listed the 'Hanwha ARIRANG TDF Active Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF)' on the 30th, which automatically adjusts the proportions of risky and safe assets according to investment preferences and retirement timing.

This product features a combination of the strengths of both public offering funds and ETFs. With advantages such as low fees, trading convenience, and real-time monitoring of held securities, it incorporates the glide path feature of TDFs. A Target Date Fund (TDF) is an asset allocation product that automatically adjusts the ratio of risky and safe assets based on the investor's retirement date. Due to its characteristic of allocating assets according to the retirement timing, designing asset allocation that considers the investor's life cycle is important. The total fee for this product is 0.14% per annum, the lowest among TDF products in the same category. As a pension-type asset, the lowest fees for long-term investment can be seen as an attractive investment factor.

This product was jointly developed with Morningstar, the world's largest fund rating agency, to create the core glide path and underlying indices of the TDF. By using Morningstar's five underlying indices as investment targets for asset allocation, it aims to achieve the effect of diversified investment across more than 10,000 individual securities.

Kim Seong-hoon, Head of ETF Business Division at Hanwha Asset Management, said, "The ARIRANG TDF Active ETF is a long-term investment product for domestic investors' retirement asset formation, optimized for the life cycle of Koreans based on Korea's human capital and capital market assumptions." He added, "This product sets the lowest fees among TDF-related products, allowing investors to enjoy higher compound returns through cost savings in long-term investments."

Kim also stated, "In particular, the ARIRANG TDF Active 2060 is the product with the longest investment horizon among TDF products, expanding investment options not only for those in their 20s and 30s who have a long time until retirement but also for those who want to invest more aggressively." This product consists of four types: 2030, 2040, 2050, and 2060.
