1Q US Aerospace Tech ETF
Largest Allocations to Rocket Lab and Joby Aviation

Hana Asset Management will list the '1Q US Aerospace Tech ETF' on November 25.

This new product is an ETF that invests in leading US companies in the space and aerospace technology sectors. The top holdings, Rocket Lab and Joby Aviation, are each allocated approximately 16%. The remaining 68% is invested in key related companies such as Palantir and GE Aerospace. It is the first ETF in Korea to focus exclusively on US aerospace technology.

Rocket Lab is a launch vehicle specialist leading the NewSpace era. Through its small launch vehicle, Electron, the company has conducted regular satellite launches, surpassing 70 cumulative launches as of August, thereby demonstrating stable launch capabilities.

Known as the 'Tesla of the skies,' Joby Aviation is a global leader in electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. eVTOLs can take off and land vertically like helicopters while significantly reducing noise and emissions, making them a core technology for the urban air mobility (UAM) market.

1Q US Aerospace Tech is the second US-themed ETF listed by Hana Asset Management. Earlier this year, Hana Asset Management successively listed ▲1Q US S&P500 ▲1Q US S&P500 US Bond Mix 50 Active ▲1Q US Nasdaq 100 ▲1Q US Nasdaq 100 US Bond Mix ▲1Q US Medical AI, thereby expanding its ETF product lineup.

The four US representative index series have surpassed a total net asset value of 400 billion won, establishing themselves as flagship products for pension investors. 1Q US Medical AI drew attention by ranking first in net purchases by individual investors on its first day of listing among newly listed US equity ETFs this year.

CEO Kim Taewoo stated, "Next year, NASA will embark on its 'first crewed lunar exploration' in 50 years, and commercial urban air mobility (UAM) operations are expected to begin in New York. We believe it will be a year of significant growth for aerospace technology."

He added, "Aerospace technology is an industry where the US and China are engaged in a next-generation industrial power struggle. This sector is expected to be among the fastest-growing industries, driven by strong policy support from the Trump administration and technological advancements by private companies."
