Korea Investment Management to Hold Live Seminar "Hantoo Station"

Korea Investment Management will conduct a live broadcast unveiling the specific management strategy for its newly launched exchange-traded fund (ETF) that focuses on leading stocks in Korea’s five core strategic industries, which are the backbone of the Korean economy.

On August 19, Korea Investment Management announced that it would be holding a YouTube live seminar called 'Hantoo Station.' The seminar can be viewed on the official ACE ETF YouTube channel from 5:30 PM to 6:00 PM, lasting 30 minutes on the same day.

The seminar will cover the topic 'Exploring the ACE Semiconductor Plus Strategic Industries ETF.' The ACE Semiconductor Plus Strategic Industries ETF is a domestic equity product launched by Korea Investment Management on August 11. The ETF selects five domestic strategic industries with proven global competitiveness and invests in two representative stocks from each industry.

The current portfolio is composed across five major sectors: semiconductors, shipbuilding, defense, nuclear power, and humanoids. As of August 18, the combined weighting of leading semiconductor stocks Samsung Electronics and SK hynix is approximately 50%. The portfolio also includes Hyundai Motor, Hanwha Aerospace, Doosan Enerbility, and HD Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering. Notably, the four sectors—semiconductors, shipbuilding, defense, and nuclear power—are fixed in the portfolio, while the remaining sector uses a flexible methodology, allowing for changes based on market or policy developments.

Nam Yongsoo, Head of ETF Business at Korea Investment Management, stated, "The ACE Semiconductor Plus Strategic Industries ETF was launched based on the belief that, rather than investing broadly across the entire market, there is a need to make focused investments in industries that actually drive growth." He added, "In this seminar, we plan to outline the competitiveness and mid-to-long-term growth potential of each sector, as analyzed by our company—including semiconductors, which are indispensable in Korea's strategic industries, as well as shipbuilding, defense, nuclear power, and the humanoid sector."
