NH Amundi "Hydrogen Value Chain Fund, No.1 in Hydrogen Theme Returns"

NH-Amundi Asset Management announced on the 23rd that the "NH-Amundi Global Hydrogen Value Chain Fund" is ranked first in returns among domestic hydrogen-themed funds since the beginning of the year.

According to NH-Amundi Asset Management on the same day, the average return of hydrogen-themed funds, including ETFs sold domestically, was -10.2% as of the 19th, but the "NH-Amundi Global Hydrogen Value Chain Fund" showed a stable return of 8.5%.

This fund invests in the hydrogen industry, which is considered the next-generation energy source. It invests across the entire hydrogen value chain, including hydrogen production and charging, storage and transportation, and utilization. It identifies optimal investment companies through financial data analysis of 48,000 listed companies worldwide.

Recently, although Japan's economic growth rate exceeded expectations as it emerged from prolonged deflation, U.S. utility companies with high debt burdens were affected by stock price declines due to the high-interest-rate environment. Considering the global macroeconomic situation, this fund expanded investments in Japanese hydrogen car and hydrogen gas-related companies. Additionally, it pursued strategic management reflecting market conditions by reducing the proportion of U.S. utility companies.

Ko Soong-cheol, Head of Equity Management at NH-Amundi Asset Management, said, "The global carbon neutrality trend will strengthen, and the transition to a hydrogen economy is expected to accelerate. Through this scientifically managed fund, investors can benefit from the long-term rise of the hydrogen theme."
