Korea Investment Management to Hold Live Seminar Introducing Strategies for Investing in Major U.S. Indexes

Prize Draws for Viewers
on the ACE ETF YouTube Channel

Korea Investment Management announced on September 30 that it will hold a YouTube live seminar called 'HANTOU Station'.

The seminar, which will be held under the theme "Exploring U.S. Major Index ETFs," will be broadcast on the official ACE ETF YouTube channel from 5:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. (30 minutes) on the same day.

Korea Investment Management offers several ETFs investing in major U.S. indices, including the ACE US S&P500 ETF and ACE US Nasdaq100 ETF, which are equity-type products, as well as the ACE US S&P500 US Treasury 50 Active ETF and the ACE US Nasdaq100 US Treasury 50 Active ETF, which are hybrid bond funds.

The two equity-type products are among the bestsellers within the ACE ETF lineup. This year, individual investors' net purchases of the ACE US Nasdaq100 ETF and ACE US S&P500 ETF reached 507.8 billion won and 369.5 billion won, respectively, making them the two top-ranked ACE ETFs among individual investors in terms of net purchases.

The two hybrid bond ETFs are highly utilized in pension accounts. Because both the ACE US S&P500 US Treasury 50 Active ETF and the ACE US Nasdaq100 US Treasury 50 Active ETF invest in stocks and bonds at a 5-to-5 ratio, they can be invested up to 100% limit in defined contribution (DC) retirement pensions and individual retirement pension (IRP) accounts. By allocating 70% of a pension account to equity-type ETFs and filling the remaining 30% safe asset allocation with either the ACE US S&P500 US Treasury 50 Active ETF or the ACE US Nasdaq100 US Treasury 50 Active ETF, the equity allocation within the pension account can be raised up to 85%.

There will also be an event for live seminar viewers. If you participate in a surprise event held during the seminar, you could win prizes by draw: ‘A Twosome Place sweet potato fresh cream cake + sweet potato latte e-gift voucher’ (50 winners) and ‘AirPods5’ (5 winners). Detailed information about the event can be found while watching the live seminar.

The first round of winners for the collaboration event with Haitai Confectionery's ACE Crackers will also be drawn. Prizes to be awarded by drawing on that day include a 1-don gold bar (5 winners) and a 30,000-won Shinsegae gift certificate (100 winners). Real-time drawing for prize winners will take place at the end of the live seminar. The results of the event and prize selection will be announced separately via the ACE ETF website and other channels.

Nam Yong-soo, Head of ETF Division at Korea Investment Management, said, "Equity-type and hybrid bond products that invest in major U.S. indices continue to attract steady attention from investors," adding, "I hope ‘HANTOU Station’ can offer further insights for those interested in the 500 leading U.S. companies driving the global economy and the 100 U.S. technology innovators leading global technological innovation."
