Korea Investment Trust Management applies a step-by-step investment process to reflect the long-term growth potential of the global AI and semiconductor industries. First, it uses its proprietary AI model to select candidate stocks among relevant companies. Then, through negative screening that considers financial soundness, market volatility, and industry risks, stocks that are unstable or have high environmental, social, and governance (ESG) risks are excluded.
During the portfolio construction stage, Korea Investment Trust Management establishes detailed investment areas based on its own AI and semiconductor industry classification system. It quantitatively and qualitatively analyzes each sector's market size, technological competitiveness, and AI exposure, then combines data from overseas research institutions and its own analysis to build a portfolio centered around leading companies. The company also continuously monitors key competitive factors according to industry changes by applying an AI and semiconductor-specialized evaluation methodology.
