According to Daishin Asset Management on October 6, this equity fund invests in companies with attractive investment value by analyzing both their shareholder return policies and stock price levels. The fund’s core investment indicators are the "shareholder return rate" and the "shareholder return yield."

The shareholder return rate measures how much of a company's profits are returned to shareholders through dividends, share buybacks, and cancellations. By combining the shareholder return yield, the fund assesses whether the size of the shareholder return is appealing for investment compared to the current stock price.

If the prices of holdings have risen significantly and the shareholder return rate decreases, profits are realized through selling. When stock prices adjust and the relative value of shareholder returns increases again, the fund buys, managing the portfolio in this way.

The sustainability of a company’s shareholder return is also a key evaluation factor. The fund prioritizes companies with ongoing shareholder return policies rather than one-off actions. It also considers stable cash generation and profit improvement, focusing on companies with the capacity to sustain shareholder returns.

This product is a public fund that invests over 60% in equities. It can be subscribed to through Daishin Securities and nine other distributors, with plans to expand availability progressively.

Lee Jaewoo, Executive Director and Head of Marketing at Daishin Asset Management, said, "The market considers not only a company's profits but also how those profits are shared with shareholders as a key metric in assessing corporate value. The distinctive feature of this fund is that, instead of stopping at dividends, it evaluates how much is actually returned to shareholders and how attractive that value is at the current stock price before making investment decisions."
