Samsung Asset Management's KODEX Samsung Electronics Bond Mixed ETF Surpasses 1 Trillion Won in Net Assets

Samsung Asset Management announced on March 18 that the net asset value of the 'KODEX Samsung Electronics Bond Mixed' Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) has surpassed 1 trillion won, reaching 1.0467 trillion won.

The KODEX 200 US Treasury Mixed ETF, which invests simultaneously in the domestic stock market and bonds, has reached 1.4498 trillion won in net assets. Combined, the net assets of these two flagship KODEX bond-mixed ETFs are approaching 2.5 trillion won.

Since the beginning of the year, KODEX Samsung Electronics Bond Mixed has recorded a net purchase of 420.5 billion won through bank branches and 14.1 billion won through individual investors. During the same period, KODEX 200 US Treasury Mixed saw net purchases of 435.8 billion won via bank branches and 37.6 billion won from individuals. The increase in net assets was driven by net inflows from bank pension trust accounts, as well as rallies in Samsung Electronics and the KOSPI 200 index. Amid heightened volatility in the stock market, investors have shown continued interest in products that aim for stable returns while also participating in stock market gains.

The performance of these two ETFs is among the highest for bond-mixed products. Year-to-date, KODEX Samsung Electronics Bond Mixed has achieved a return of 16.3%, and KODEX 200 US Treasury Mixed has posted a return of 17.3%, ranking second and first among all bond-mixed ETFs, respectively.

KODEX Samsung Electronics Bond Mixed allocates up to 30% to Samsung Electronics, the leading semiconductor stock, and invests 70% in 3-year Korean Treasury Bonds. It is the only ETF that combines a single domestic stock listed on the stock market with bonds. KODEX 200 US Treasury Mixed diversifies its investments between the KOSPI 200 index and US Treasuries, allocating 40% to domestic stocks and 60% to 10-year US Treasury Bonds for stable asset allocation.

Both products have a safe asset ratio exceeding 50%, making them eligible for 100% investment in personal pension and retirement pension accounts. Additionally, both ETFs have set their distribution reference date as the 15th of every month, providing investors with a stable cash flow through mid-month distributions.

Lim Taehyuk, Head of ETF Management Division at Samsung Asset Management, stated, "Although markets at home and abroad are turbulent, the KODEX domestic equity bond mixed ETFs are designed to reduce portfolio volatility, making them ideal for long-term pension investors. We plan to continue introducing a variety of asset allocation ETFs so that investors can manage their assets stably."
