Hanwha Asset Management Wins Three Awards at Hong Kong AAM ETF Awards

Hanwha Asset Management announced on April 30 that it achieved a triple crown at the "Asia Asset Management ETF Awards 2026," which was held in Hong Kong.

The event was organized by AAM, a Hong Kong-based platform specializing in institutional investors, pension funds, ETFs, and the asset management industry across Asia. The Asia Asset Management ETF Awards 2026 was newly established this year by AAM to specifically highlight the ETF industry. The awards were divided into two categories: Single Market Awards and Asia-Pacific Awards. For ETFs listed in Korea and the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, a total of 21 and 22 awards were presented, respectively.

The "PLUS K-Defense ETF" achieved the most notable results. This product won the Best Absolute Performing ETF of the Year in the Korea category and also claimed the Best Absolute Performing ETF in Asia-Pacific. This demonstrates that the competitiveness of K-Defense has delivered outstanding results not only in Korea but also across the entire Asian market.

At the same time, the "PLUS High Dividend ETF" received the Best Dividend ETF award in the Korea category, recognizing the excellence of Hanwha Asset Management’s investment strategy. The company expects that this recognition will serve as an opportunity to widely promote the value of leading investment themes in the Korean market, such as K-Defense and high dividend stocks, to global investors.

During its visit to Hong Kong, Hanwha Asset Management also actively pursued overseas marketing by holding a seminar for high-net-worth individuals at the invitation of a local securities firm. At the seminar, the company introduced the main industrial strengths of the Korean stock market and ETF investment themes, and, in particular, confirmed the substantial demand from local Hong Kong investors, laying the groundwork for further global business expansion.

Choi Youngjin, Vice President of Hanwha Asset Management, stated, "This award is significant in that the achievements of the PLUS ETFs have been recognized not only in Korea but also across the Asia-Pacific region," adding, "We expect this will serve as an opportunity to showcase the investment value of Korea’s robust companies to Asian investors."
