Daishin Securities Surpasses 1 Trillion Won in Sales of Short-Term and Early-Year Bond Funds This Year

Reflecting the Preference for Short Maturities Amid Economic Uncertainty

Daishin Securities' ultra-short and short-term bond fund sales exceeded 1 trillion won in just over two months.

Daishin Securities announced on the 11th that the sales amount of ultra-short and short-term bond funds sold from the beginning of the year until the 7th reached 1.097 trillion won. Among this, ultra-short-term bond fund sales amounted to 637.2 billion won, and short-term bond fund sales amounted to 459.8 billion won.

Daishin Securities has been strategically selling short-term products that invest in bonds with short maturities in preparation for the expansion of domestic and global economic uncertainties. Ultra-short-term bond funds offer liquidity comparable to money market funds (MMFs) while aiming for excess returns, and short-term bond funds provide higher returns than deposits even during economic recessions.

Ultra-short-term bond funds manage the average maturity of included assets to around 6 months, while short-term bond funds manage it to around 1 year. By operating the maturity of included assets short, stable returns can be generated despite interest rate fluctuations and increased uncertainties.

Choi Dae-kyung, Head of Customer Asset Division at Daishin Securities, said, "Concerns about the economy are growing due to recent U.S. tariff policies, domestic demand recession, and high inflation, leading to a continued preference for safe assets," adding, "As domestic and international political and policy uncertainties continue, portfolio management that protects assets with short maturities is necessary."
