Samsung Active Asset Management plans to launch an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that incorporates stocks with the capacity to strengthen shareholder return policies by prioritizing cash flow generation ability.
According to the financial investment industry on the 22nd, Samsung Active Management is in the process of listing the 'KoAct Dividend Growth Active ETF.' It is scheduled to be listed on the domestic stock market on the 27th.
This ETF focuses on selecting and investing in stocks based on companies' cash flow indicators. The rationale is that stable cash flow is necessary for companies to implement shareholder return measures such as paying dividends to investors or repurchasing and retiring treasury shares alongside profit growth.
In particular, although the current dividend yield is relatively low, the ETF is expected to actively include sectors such as semiconductors, automobiles, chemicals, telecommunications, and holding companies that can strengthen shareholder return policies in the future based on solid cash flow. A total of 45 stocks will be included.
