Samsung Asset Management to Pay Distributions on Two ETFs Tracking Leading U.S. Indexes
Samsung Asset Management will pay distributions on two exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that track leading U.S. stock indexes.
On October 28, Samsung Asset Management announced that it would pay distributions to holders of the KODEX US S&P 500 ETF and the KODEX US NASDAQ 100 ETF.
The distribution per unit is 117 won (a distribution yield of 0.51%) for the KODEX US S&P 500 and 71 won (a distribution yield of 0.28%) for the KODEX US NASDAQ 100. The ex-distribution date is October 29, so investors must buy the ETFs by October 28 to receive the distributions.
Over the past year, cumulative distributions totaled 479 won (a distribution yield of 2.09%) and 282 won (a distribution yield of 1.10%), respectively. In particular, the KODEX US S&P 500 ETF currently pays the highest distribution among ETFs listed in Korea that track the same underlying index.
Long-term returns have also remained solid. The KODEX US S&P 500 posted a five-year return of 100.2%, the highest among US S&P 500 ETFs with a long-term performance record. The ETF's three-year return also reached 86.55%. The KODEX US NASDAQ 100 has posted returns of 117.6% over five years and 105.2% over three years.
Steady distribution payments and long-term performance have continued to attract individual investors' funds, particularly through pension accounts. Since the start of the year, individual investors have made net purchases of 2.8452 trillion won in the KODEX US S&P 500, while 3.4036 trillion won in individual investor funds has flowed into the KODEX US NASDAQ 100, making it the year's top ETF tracking the NASDAQ 100 by net purchases from individual investors.
