KB Asset Management ETF Surpasses 700 Billion Won in Net Assets

KB Asset Management's 'RISE Samsung Electronics SK Hynix Bond Mixed 50 ETF' has surpassed 700 billion won in net assets. The ETF set a record for the shortest period among domestic bond-mixed ETFs, reaching 500 billion won in net assets in just 14 business days. Since then, it has continued to attract funds amidst market volatility, establishing itself as a representative product in the bond-mixed ETF sector. Individual net purchases exceeded 80 billion won.

It is designed to focus investment on key AI semiconductor companies by allocating 25% each to Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, totaling 50%. The remaining 50% is invested in high-quality bonds such as short-term government bonds to mitigate volatility.

Retirement pension (DC/IRP) accounts have a regulatory limit of 70% for investments in risky assets like equity ETFs. However, this ETF is classified as a safe asset, allowing it to be included up to 100% of the account. The total annual management fee is 0.01%, and it can also be traded in general stock accounts and Individual Savings Accounts (ISA).

"This ETF is attracting both individual and pension funds simultaneously, thanks to its structure suitable for pension investments and its low fees," said Yuk Dong-hwi, Head of ETF Product Marketing at KB Asset Management. "It allows investors to secure both the growth potential of leading semiconductor companies and the stability of bonds while minimizing costs."
