The TIMEFOLIO Korea Plus Dividend Active Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) is gaining popularity among ETF investors as the best choice for tax-free dividend investment.


TIMEFOLIO Asset Management announced on the 27th that about half of the distributions paid by the TIMEFOLIO Korea Plus Dividend Active ETF last year were tax-exempt.


Despite paying an 8% annual distribution last year, the ETF recorded a 13% increase in stock price. Compared to the KOSPI 200, which fell 11% during the same period, it achieved an excess return of 24 percentage points (P).


The TIMEFOLIO Korea Plus Dividend Active ETF pursues differentiated performance through an active management strategy that simultaneously invests in high-quality domestic dividend stocks and leading stocks. It focuses on capturing stable dividend income and growth potential at the same time.


In the case of overseas equity ETFs, dividend income tax is imposed on both capital gains and interest/dividend income. This has been a burden for investors seeking tax-saving effects. The TIMEFOLIO Korea Plus Dividend Active ETF invests in domestic stocks, providing tax-exempt benefits on trading as well as more than 50% tax savings on distributions. The advantage lies in maximizing tax savings and after-tax returns. From a tax perspective, it offers efficient asset management opportunities for large investors and pension investors.



A representative from the ETF division of TIMEFOLIO Asset Management stated, "The TIMEFOLIO Korea Plus Dividend Active ETF offers tax-saving benefits on domestic dividends in both pension accounts and general accounts where tax deferral effects remain," adding, "It will be an attractive option for all investors."
