Samsung Asset Management Grand Opens FunETF Fund Platform

A fund platform has been launched that allows users to find, compare, and analyze information on all domestic Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and public funds in one place, and connect to brokerage firms for transactions all at once.

Samsung Asset Management announced on the 1st that it has newly opened the fund platform ‘FunETF,’ where users can view ETFs and funds at a glance. FunETF is a name combining ‘Fund’ and ‘ETF.’ It is a mobile application designed to provide easy access and usability for information on representative financial products such as ETFs and public funds, and it is also available on PC.

FunETF is characterized by enhanced features that go beyond simply checking individual product information from a specific asset management company, enabling investors to compare and analyze ETF and fund products from all asset management companies themselves and create and manage their own portfolios.

On FunETF, users can ▲search all domestic ETFs (878) and funds (3,222), ▲access real-time data on major U.S. futures indices such as the S&P 500, Nasdaq, Dow Jones, and Russell 2000, ▲search ETFs/funds using major keyword filters, and ▲find ETFs by their constituent stocks.

Additionally, users can ▲compare and analyze up to five ETF or fund products each, and ▲the platform is equipped with a direct connection feature to major securities firms’ Mobile Trading Systems (MTS) where investors trade, allowing easy transactions of selected ETFs and funds directly from FunETF.

First, the ‘ETF/Fund Filter Search’ allows investors to combine about 150 major keyword filters according to their preferences. Users can continuously monitor the performance of ETFs or funds using their saved personal filters.

Also, the ‘Find ETFs by Constituent Stocks’ feature lets investors search for ETF products that invest in specific stocks of interest. Up to two stocks can be searched simultaneously. This is useful for finding ETFs that invest heavily in stocks currently attracting market attention.

The ‘ETF/Fund Product Comparison’ feature allows users to select up to five products for simultaneous comparison, with improved screen design (UI/UX) for comparison results and report content, enabling performance comparisons at a glance.

Moreover, various information is provided, including trading trends by investor type for each ETF, dividend status, popular keyword search rankings, and investment insights provided by Samsung Asset Management.

In particular, an ‘Invest’ button is placed on the product information screen, greatly enhancing convenience by allowing investors to click the button and be immediately redirected to the MTS screen of their brokerage firm to trade the product. This offers a one-stop solution where users can analyze and compare ETF and fund information in detail beforehand and proceed with investment.

Currently, the ‘Invest’ service is linked with the MTS of 12 securities firms for ETFs, including Samsung Securities, KB Securities, NH Investment & Securities, Shinhan Investment Corp., Woori Investment & Securities, Eugene Investment & Securities, KakaoPay Securities, Kiwoom Securities, Toss Securities, Hana Securities, Korea Investment & Securities, and Hyundai Motor Securities. For public funds, it is connected to the MTS of four securities firms: Samsung Securities, KB Securities, Eugene Investment & Securities, and Hana Securities.

A Samsung Asset Management official stated, “We developed the service by gathering opinions from various users such as PBs, investors, and managers so that investors can independently search for and select various ETF and fund products.” He added, “We will continuously strive to provide easier and more diverse services so that investors can conveniently ‘understand and invest’ through FunETF when choosing ETFs and funds.”
