[Asia Economy Reporter Myung-hwan Lee] Korea Investment Trust Management's 'Korea Investment TDF Alaseo ETF Focus Fund' has been awarded the Best Fund Award at the 2022 Asia Capital Investment Awards. It was recognized for its strengths in asset allocation and providing optimal solutions to clients.

Korea Investment Trust Management's 'Korea Investment TDF Alaseo ETF Focus Fund' is a pension asset specialized product that optimally manages assets automatically until the target date chosen by the investor. It is developed and managed by Korea Investment Trust Management based on the know-how accumulated over years of managing the 'Korea Investment TDF Alaseo Fund'.

The company explained that this product pursues maximizing long-term investment returns with a '3-Low' structure of low risk, low turnover, and low cost. It is also designed to deliver stable long-term performance despite repeated economic fluctuations of ups and downs. Seo Jae-young, head of the Multi-Asset Management Department in charge of managing this product, stated, "Since this product targets long-term investment, rather than responding to short-term markets, it will create a difference through detailed portfolio management and the effect of long-term compounding."

Korea Investment Trust Management is also focusing on strengthening its asset allocation capabilities. In July, it established the 'Solutions Headquarters' directly under the CEO to oversee the asset allocation business. The Solutions Headquarters will be responsible for developing asset allocation solutions, marketing asset allocation-related products, and establishing capital market assumptions related to asset allocation.

Korea Investment Trust Management plans to continue focusing on asset allocation capabilities. Bae Jae-gyu, CEO of Korea Investment Trust Management, said, "The key to investment success is asset allocation, not individual product selection," adding, "We will advance our asset allocation capabilities based on theoretically and empirically verified methods to become an asset management company that provides successful solutions to both institutional and individual clients."
