Timefolio Active ETF Secures 3.5 Trillion Won in AUM

As the domestic active exchange-traded fund (ETF) market has grown to a scale of around 80 trillion won, TIMEFOLIO Asset Management has solidified its position as a leading player in active ETFs, with its total active ETF assets under management (AUM) stabilizing at approximately 3.5 trillion won.

TIMEFOLIO Asset Management announced on November 25 that, over the past month, more than 800 billion won has flowed into TIMEFOLIO active ETFs, increasing its AUM from about 2.7 trillion won to 3.5 trillion won.

The company’s ETF assets have expanded more than threefold, from 954.6 billion won at the end of last year to 3.5 trillion won this year. This achievement comes four years after the launch of its first active ETF in May 2021.

At the core of TIMEFOLIO’s active ETF growth are its flagship global and domestic equity active ETFs. The 'TIMEFOLIO Global AI Artificial Intelligence Active ETF,' the first in Korea to invest in the global AI value chain, has recorded a cumulative return of approximately 220% over two years since its listing. It has established itself as a leading product in the AI theme, growing into a mega-fund with assets of 1 trillion won.

The 'TIMEFOLIO US Nasdaq 100 Active ETF' has outperformed leveraged ETFs during the same period by flexibly adjusting its allocation to high-growth semiconductor and platform companies based on a dynamic strategy.

It is now recognized as the representative active ETF for U.S. growth stock pension investments. In addition, products such as TIMEFOLIO Korea Plus Dividend Active ETF, TIMEFOLIO Global & K-Bio Active ETF, and TIMEFOLIO Global Top Picks Active ETF, which focus on dividend, bio, and global asset allocation strategies, have contributed to raising the total AUM of TIMEFOLIO active ETFs to the mid-3 trillion won range.

Kim Namui, Head of ETF Strategy at TIMEFOLIO Asset Management, stated, "Active ETFs are not short-term theme products, but are the most suitable financial products for pension investment, as they select and invest in structurally growing industries and companies with long-term competitiveness." He added, "The fact that funds are being stably maintained at around 3.5 trillion won means that the pension investment market trusts the management philosophy and long-term performance of TIMEFOLIO active ETFs."

Kim further commented, "We will continue to demonstrate the advantages of active strategies in areas with clear mid- to long-term growth stories, such as artificial intelligence (AI), bio, dividends, and Korea value-up." He added, "Our goal is to grow as an asset manager that provides active ETF solutions for pensions and all investors."
