The performance of the TIME US Nasdaq 100 Bond Mix 50 Active ETF is attributed to its strategic balance. This ETF is a bond-mixed product that combines global tech growth assets centered on the Nasdaq 100 with stable assets based on domestic short-term bonds. Approximately 50% of the portfolio is allocated to global technology stocks focused on the Nasdaq 100, while the remaining 50% is invested in domestic short-term bonds. In bull markets, the performance of growth stocks such as AI and semiconductors is actively reflected, while during market corrections, the bond-mixed structure helps to mitigate portfolio volatility.


A representative from Timefolio Asset Management stated, "Especially in the equity segment, which can further enhance returns, Timefolio's management expertise is reflected." As an active ETF, the technology stock portfolio is flexibly adjusted according to market conditions and changes in corporate fundamentals. Recently, top holdings have included Nvidia, ARM, Alphabet, and Micron.


In addition, the TIME US Nasdaq 100 Bond Mix 50 Active ETF is not subject to investment limits on risky assets, allowing for 100% investment within Defined Contribution (DC) retirement pension plans and Individual Retirement Pension (IRP) accounts.


Namui Kim, Head of ETF Strategy at Timefolio Asset Management, commented, "In the current global stock market, risk management and stock selection ability have become more important than directional bets," adding, "The TIME US Nasdaq 100 Bond Mix 50 Active ETF is differentiated in that it is not merely a product that invests in the Nasdaq 100, but an active bond-mixed strategy that simultaneously pursues growth and stability in line with market conditions."



He continued, "This product is suitable for investors who wish to invest in the long-term growth of US technology stocks but are concerned about short-term volatility, especially those who want to utilize both growth and stable assets within a pension account." He added, "Based on the active management expertise accumulated over more than a year, the product is also highly useful as a long-term investment alternative."
