Hanwha Asset Management’s Direct Sales App PINE Surpasses 290,000 Cumulative Downloads

Hanwha Asset Management announced on May 14 that it held a customer invitation event called the "High-Five Party" at the 63 Building in Yeouido to mark the fifth anniversary of its direct fund sales application, "PINE." Launched in May 2021, PINE positions itself as an investment companion that helps users develop healthy investment habits, and recently surpassed 290,000 cumulative downloads.

This event was organized to express appreciation by inviting 40 guests, including PINE VIP customers and app ambassadors known as "Donsera Mate." The program included a welcoming address by Choi Youngjin, Vice President of Hanwha Asset Management, a seminar on the "2026 Macro Economic Outlook" by a fund manager, networking among attendees, and a lucky draw, among other diverse activities. Notably, participants received a "2060 Vintage Label" wine and a limited-edition goods package to commemorate the LIFEPLUS Target Date Fund (TDF) surpassing 1 trillion won in net assets.

During the lecture, Kim Seoyoung, manager of the ETF Strategy Management Team, stated, "In a highly volatile bull market like the current one, the wisest investment approach is systematic investing. As the KOSPI continues to grow structurally, supported by the semiconductor industry and value-up policies, it is more desirable to steadily increase investment rather than abandon the market due to volatility or engage in frequent trading based on market predictions."

The greatest strength of the PINE app is that users can invest in Hanwha Asset Management's flagship funds at one of the lowest sales fees in the industry. The funds have also delivered strong performance. The "Hanwha Green Hero Fund," for example, recorded a 235.5% return over the past year, while the "Hanwha K-Defense Shipbuilding Nuclear Power Fund" achieved 73.98%, and the "Hanwha K-Manufacturing Core PLUS Fund" posted 39.56% since inception, attracting significant investor interest. The retirement solution LIFEPLUS TDF also recorded returns in the 40% range over the past year, leading to rapid inflows of capital.

Vice President Choi Youngjin commented, "We are now in the age of lifelong investing. Since investing alone can make it difficult to stay consistent and can often result in losses even in bull markets due to frequent trading and poor judgment, an investment companion like PINE is necessary." He added, "Going forward, we will continue to develop PINE so that investors can establish healthy investment habits and accumulate stable long-term returns."
