Hana Asset Management announced on April 24 that the total net assets of its exchange-traded funds (ETFs) '1Q K-Semiconductor TOP2+' and '1Q K-Semiconductor TOP2 Bond Hybrid 50', which invest in major domestic semiconductor companies, have surpassed 50 billion won.
According to the Korea Exchange, as of April 22, the total net assets of these two ETFs amounted to 55 billion won. This milestone was reached just six trading days after their listing on April 14. Since listing, individual investors have made cumulative net purchases totaling 23.6 billion won in these two semiconductor ETFs.
'1Q K-Semiconductor TOP2+' tracks the 'NICE K-Semiconductor TOP2 MAX+ Index' and allocates approximately 27.5% each to Samsung Electronics and SK hynix. Together, these two companies account for about 55% of the portfolio, with the remaining 45% allocated to eight other leading domestic semiconductor companies.
'1Q K-Semiconductor TOP2 Bond Hybrid 50' is based on the 'KEDI K-Semiconductor TOP2 Bond Hybrid Index' and is structured as a second-generation bond hybrid ETF, consisting of about 25% Samsung Electronics, about 25% SK hynix, and about 50% short-term government and monetary stabilization bonds. A key feature is that it can be included 100% in retirement pension accounts (DC, IRP).
Taewoo Kim, CEO of Hana Asset Management, stated, "Through Hana Asset Management's 1Q ETFs, we hope investors can more easily access Korea's core semiconductor companies, such as Samsung Electronics and SK hynix. We will continue to introduce products tailored to meet the diverse portfolio needs of our investors."
Meanwhile, Hana Asset Management is currently holding a net purchase event for five domestic ETFs, including the two new semiconductor ETFs. Investors can find event details on the 1Q ETF website and blog, and by submitting their purchase records through a survey form, they have a chance to win prizes through a drawing.
