KB Asset Management's 'RISE Samsung Electronics SK hynix Bond Mixed 50 ETF' Surpasses 2 Trillion Won in Net Assets

Achieved in Just 51 Trading Days After Listing
Sets Fastest Record for Domestic Bond-Mixed ETFs

KB Asset Management announced on May 14 that the net assets of the 'RISE Samsung Electronics SK hynix Bond Mixed 50' exchange-traded fund (ETF) have surpassed 2 trillion won.

This achievement was reached in just 51 trading days after its listing, marking the shortest period ever for a domestic bond-mixed ETF to break the 2 trillion won mark. The RISE Samsung Electronics SK hynix Bond Mixed 50 ETF has now established itself as the largest domestic bond-mixed ETF by net assets.

The product structure, which simultaneously pursues long-term growth expectations and stability for leading semiconductor stocks, appears to have attracted strong investor interest. The RISE Samsung Electronics SK hynix Bond Mixed 50 ETF allocates 25% each to Samsung Electronics and SK hynix, leading domestic semiconductor companies in the high bandwidth memory (HBM) market, and invests the remaining 50% in high-quality bonds such as short-term government bonds. By focusing investment on Samsung Electronics and SK hynix, which play a key role in the artificial intelligence (AI) semiconductor market, the ETF also diversifies risk compared to investing in a single stock.

According to FnGuide, the product’s return over the past month reached 25.81%. The total expense ratio stands at just 0.01% per year, a feature that reduces the cost burden for investors over the long term.

Additionally, this product qualifies as a safe asset under retirement pension (DC·IRP) regulations, allowing it to be included up to 100% in retirement pension accounts. Therefore, investors who have already used up their risk asset limit (70%) can further increase their exposure to semiconductor investment.

Yook Donghwi, Head of ETF Product Marketing at KB Asset Management, stated, “With the expansion of the AI industry, demand for high-performance semiconductors is growing structurally, leading to steadily increasing long-term investment demand for Samsung Electronics and SK hynix. The 'RISE Samsung Electronics SK hynix Bond Mixed 50 ETF' is establishing itself as a representative investment vehicle for pension investors, based on a structure that considers both growth potential and stability.”
