NH Amundi, HANARO Comprehensive Bond Active ETF Listed
NH-Amundi Asset Management announced on the 26th that it will list the HANARO Comprehensive Bond (AA- and above) Active Securities Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF), which invests broadly in high credit rating domestic prime bonds.
According to NH-Amundi, the HANARO Comprehensive Bond Active ETF includes government bonds and high-quality corporate bonds with high credit ratings to pursue stable management. Through the ETF, investors can comprehensively invest in relatively low-risk domestic prime bonds with a small amount, offering high trading convenience and usability.
The benchmark index is the KAP Comprehensive Bond (AA- and above) Total Return Index. This targets domestic KRW bonds with a credit rating of AA- or higher. To enhance stability, bonds with maturities under 3 months, outstanding balances under 50 billion KRW, and credit ratings below AA- are filtered out among treasury bonds, monetary stabilization bonds, public bonds, bank bonds, and corporate bonds. The fund primarily tracks the benchmark and combines treasury bond strategies with credit strategies to pursue higher returns by generating excess profits.
Bonds are considered advantageous investment assets in a high-interest-rate environment. They can be purchased relatively cheaply during periods of rising interest rates and tend to increase in price when interest rates fall. As a result, interest rate hikes since last year have increased investors' interest in bond investments. Due to growing concerns about an economic recession, factors favoring future interest rate declines are expected to prevail.
