KB Asset Management Launches "RISE US Space & Robot TOP2 US Bond Mixed 50 ETF"

KB Asset Management announced on July 14 that it will launch the "RISE US Space & Robot TOP2 US Bond Mixed 50" exchange-traded fund (ETF), which focuses on investing in the U.S. space industry and humanoid robot industry, both considered next-generation growth axes in the age of artificial intelligence (AI).

This product is a bond-mixed ETF that invests in key innovative companies leading global space infrastructure and AI-based robot ecosystems. It allocates 25% each to SpaceX and Tesla, with the remaining 50% invested in short-term U.S. Treasury bonds. While concentrating on the growth potential of future industries, the inclusion of short-term U.S. Treasury bonds also takes stability into account.

With the recent advancement of AI technology, the space and robotics industries are emerging as new drivers of the real economy of the future. SpaceX is pioneering the commercialization of space worldwide through its reusable launch vehicle technology and low Earth orbit satellite communication service, "Starlink." Tesla is accelerating the industrial application of AI technology by introducing its humanoid robot, "Optimus." KB Asset Management has created a single portfolio that captures the vision and organic industrial scalability of the "space·AI·robot convergence ecosystem" these two companies are building.

This ETF tracks the "Akros US Space-Robot TOP2 US Bond Mixed 50 Index" as its benchmark. The equity portfolio includes SpaceX and Tesla in equal proportions, while the bond portfolio diversifies investments in short-term U.S. Treasury bond ETFs with a remaining maturity of one year or less. The fund is rebalanced monthly to maintain the target allocation, and the total annual fee is 0.13%.

This ETF employs a bond-mixed structure, allowing for 100% investment through both individual pension and retirement pension accounts. It is a suitable investment alternative for long-term portfolio construction by pension investors seeking both the growth potential and stability of future industries.

Yook Donghwi, Head of ETF Product Marketing at KB Asset Management, said, "SpaceX and Tesla are core companies leading future industries, and while their growth potential is high, so is their volatility. The RISE US Space & Robot TOP2 US Bond Mixed 50 ETF reduces volatility by including short-term U.S. Treasury bonds, making it a long-term investment tool that investors can use in individual pension and retirement pension accounts."

Meanwhile, KB Asset Management has further strengthened its position and lineup as a "leader in bond-mixed ETFs for pension investors" by successfully launching this product, following the earlier listing of the "RISE Samsung Electronics SK hynix Bond Mixed 50 ETF," which invests in key domestic semiconductor companies.
