[2026 Asia Fund Awards] Shinhan Asset Management Tops Capital Inflows in Retirement Pension Default Option Class
Best Asset Management Company in the Retirement Pension Category
At the 2026 Asia Fund Awards, Shinhan Asset Management was selected as the Best Asset Management Company in the retirement pension category.
Shinhan Asset Management's "Shinhan Big Cycle Asset Allocation Fund (Mixed Equity Type)" recorded the largest capital inflow in the retirement pension default option class last year. According to fund evaluator KG Zeroin, the Shinhan Big Cycle Asset Allocation Fund had 82.5 billion won in assets under management as of the end of last year, with more than 60 billion won in new capital inflows on an annual basis.
This fund is designed to pursue a balance between long-term profitability and volatility control required for retirement pension investment, based on an asset allocation strategy that utilizes core asset classes such as 60% U.S. equities, 30% Korean bonds, and 10% cash-equivalent assets. It is structured to seek medium- to long-term capital gains by investing in U.S. equities that drive global economic growth, while at the same time enhancing portfolio stability by including high-quality Korean bonds.
The low fee structure is also cited as a key driver behind the expansion of capital inflows. By applying one of the lowest fee levels among default option balanced funds (BF), the fund has minimized the cumulative cost burden in retirement pensions, which are long-term investment products. This structure is being recognized as a meaningful factor in improving the real rate of return for pension investors.
