VI Asset Management announced on the 25th the launch of a new strategy fund, the 'VI Save Us Securities Investment Trust,' which addresses low birth rates and the climate crisis.

The goal is to create an ESG fund that is not just "good" but one that ensures sustainable growth and profitability. The VI Save Us Fund is based on the recognition that labor shortages due to low birth rates and the climate crisis caused by industrialization are impacting human "essential well-being (Save Us)" and the "well-being of the Earth (Save Earth)."

To respond to these challenges, the fund invests in alternative labor forces and eco-friendly energy-related industries, continuously identifying industries and stocks with assured profit sustainability to enhance investment returns.

Investments will be made not only domestically but also in global markets by capturing various opportunities. The expected portfolio allocation is approximately 70% overseas and 30% domestic. The main investment targets are the U.S., Japan, China (including Hong Kong), and European markets.

Increasing the domestic investment ratio to around 30% allows the fund to leverage the mass production capabilities of domestic companies' competitiveness, capturing additional profit opportunities in the process of following global trends (Global Trend-Following), which differentiates it from other overseas funds.

Labor shortages caused by low birth rates can lead to growth in many industries and stocks such as IT, big tech, semiconductors, AI platforms, robotics, and autonomous vehicles. The climate crisis resulting from industrialization connects to sustainable industries that consider both eco-friendliness and social development, including secondary batteries, solar power, hydrogen, electric and hydrogen vehicles, and recycling.
