Shinhan Asset Management Shortens Redemption Cycle of Global Carbon Neutral Solution Fund to 4 Business Days

On July 25, Shinhan Asset Management announced that it has shortened the redemption cycle of the 'Shinhan Global Carbon Neutral Solution Fund' from the previous 8 business days to 4 business days. With this change, investors can now receive redemption payments on the fourth business day (D+3) after submitting a redemption request (D), significantly improving investor convenience.

With this change, the Shinhan Global Carbon Neutral Solution Fund now boasts the shortest redemption cycle among domestic public funds investing in overseas assets.

According to fund evaluation agency KG Zeroin, the fund has attracted over KRW 26.8 billion in new capital this year, surpassing KRW 40 billion in total assets. Its performance has also been outstanding. The fund recorded a 3-month return of 54.37%, ranking first among 172 overseas and global equity funds. The 6-month, 1-year, and 3-year returns were 21.70%, 51.42%, and 54.92%, respectively, demonstrating excellent results across all mid- to long-term performance categories.

The Shinhan Global Carbon Neutral Solution Fund proactively responds to the growing demand for energy infrastructure driven by the strengthening of global decarbonization policies and the rapid expansion of the artificial intelligence (AI) industry. The fund focuses its investments on key sectors such as power equipment, nuclear energy, and renewable energy.

In particular, after April 2025, as the global stock market entered a correction phase due to concerns about oversupply in the AI hardware and data center sectors and the impact of U.S. protectionist policies, the fund preemptively increased its equity allocation, achieving excess returns compared to the market. Even though there were no changes in company fundamentals, the fund increased its portfolio weight in stocks that had fallen excessively due to supply and demand factors, and it continues to maintain this strategy. Key investment holdings include: ▲NuScale Power (next-generation small modular reactor technology), ▲GE Vernova (high-efficiency power equipment and renewable energy solutions), ▲Palantir Technologies (AI-based carbon solution tools), ▲Constellation Energy (decarbonized power supply), ▲NVIDIA (improving semiconductor energy efficiency), and ▲Vertiv Holdings (data center power and cooling systems).

The fund is also responding to the rapidly evolving blockchain and virtual asset markets. It invests in global innovative companies such as Coinbase and BlackRock, which are leading the blockchain mining industry based on renewable energy and carbon-neutral projects. The portfolio is structured to pursue both sustainability and future growth.

Kim Jooyoung, Head of Equity Management, stated, "The U.S. stock market continues to be in a liquidity expansion phase, and the domestic stock market is expected to maintain a positive trend for the time being, driven by AI-led growth, expectations for new government policies, and inflows of foreign investment." He added, "We will continue to focus on discovering global growth companies that contribute to Net Zero."
