Hyundai Investment Asset Management announced on October 31 that the assets under management (AUM) of the Hyundai Investment Didim Global Multi-Asset Smart EMP Securities Investment Trust No.1 (Mixed-Indirect Type) have surpassed 55 billion won.


According to Fund Square by Korea Fund Ratings, the fund's AUM ranked first among all 25 Didim funds. The Hyundai Investment Didim EMP Fund is the only Didim fund with an AUM exceeding 50 billion won.


The Hyundai Investment Didim EMP Fund has continued to deliver strong performance since its joint launch in the industry on September 25 last year. As of October 28, it achieved an annualized return of 18.70% since inception. Among the 25 Didim funds launched together, the performance of the Hyundai Investment Didim EMP Fund ranks in the top tier.


The Hyundai Investment Didim EMP Fund is an asset allocation fund that utilizes an EMP (ETF Managed Portfolio) strategy, aiming for consistent and stable long-term performance by diversifying investments across global equities, bonds, and alternative asset ETFs to minimize the risk of concentration in a single asset class. It is managed using the proprietary 'Multi-Asset Macro AI Model,' an artificial intelligence (AI) statistical model developed in-house to estimate investment risks and expected returns for each asset class.


The fund employs quantitative techniques that utilize economic indicators such as economic growth forecasts and inflation outlooks to classify the current economic cycle into expansion, adjustment, and contraction phases, and then estimate the risk and expected return of investment assets for each phase.


A company representative stated, "The fund is designed to minimize subjective judgment errors by managers and to enable proactive responses even in highly volatile markets."



The fund's main feature is its higher level of ultra-diversification compared to typical EMP strategy funds, which allows it to effectively defend against downside risk during sharp market declines. It is managed with the goal of delivering stable long-term performance, making it a suitable long-term investment product for pension investors seeking stable and consistent returns.
