KB Asset Management's "KB New Korea Fund" Surpasses 200 Billion Won in Net Assets Just Four Months After Launch
KB Asset Management announced on November 13 that the "KB New Korea Fund" has surpassed 200 billion won in net assets just four months after its launch. This achievement is attributed to continued inflows from investors, driven by expectations of policy benefits and strong returns.
The domestic stock market continues to perform strongly amid expectations for the government's industrial development policies and capital market revitalization, with the goal of reaching the "KOSPI 5000" era. In particular, the government is drawing attention to related sectors by promoting large-scale investments in six strategic industries-AI, Bio, Contents, Defense, Energy, and Factory (ABCDEF)-to secure future growth engines.
The "KB New Korea Fund" was designed in line with these policy directions. It primarily invests in top-tier blue-chip stocks by market capitalization listed on KOSPI and KOSDAQ within the ABCDEF industry groups.
Additionally, by incorporating ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) factors, the fund selects companies with strong mid- to long-term growth potential. It also diversifies investments into undervalued holding companies and blue-chip stocks with low price-to-book ratios (PBR) to pursue stable performance.
Key holdings include SK Hynix (11.34%), Samsung Electronics (10.29%), SK Square (4.48%), HD Hyundai Mipo (3.51%), Hanwha Aerospace (3.29%), and LG Energy Solution (3.03%).
The fund's performance has also been outstanding. According to FnGuide, the "KB New Korea Fund" has posted a return of 23.75% over the past three months.
