Hana Asset Management announced on October 1 that the 1Q US Nasdaq 100 US Treasury Mixed 50 Active ETF, launched as a "second-generation bond-mixed ETF," recorded a net purchase of 5.5 billion won by individual investors on its first day of listing.
The ETF is being evaluated as well-suited for strategies that actively increase the proportion of Nasdaq 100 in retirement pension (DC/IRP) accounts. According to regulations, retirement pension accounts must invest 30% of total assets in safe assets such as deposits, savings, bonds, and bond-mixed funds, while up to 70% can be invested in risky assets like stocks.
Under these regulations, if 1Q US Nasdaq 100 US Treasury Mixed 50 Active ETF is included within the 30% safe asset allocation, and 1Q US Nasdaq 100 ETF is included within the 70% risky asset allocation, it is possible to achieve an effective exposure of up to 85% to the Nasdaq 100 in the overall portfolio.
This year, Hana Asset Management successively launched the 1Q US S&P 500, 1Q US S&P 500 US Treasury Mixed 50 Active, and 1Q US Nasdaq 100 ETFs. With the listing of the 1Q US Nasdaq 100 US Treasury Mixed 50 Active ETF, the company has completed its US flagship index ETF series for pension investors.
The 1Q US S&P 500 US Treasury Mixed 50 Active ETF became the first among second-generation S&P 500 bond-mixed ETFs to surpass 50 billion won in net assets, establishing itself as a popular choice among retirement pension investors. The newly listed 1Q US Nasdaq 100 US Treasury Mixed 50 Active ETF has also received an enthusiastic response from pension investors, further strengthening Hana Asset Management’s flagship ETF lineup for this segment.
Kim Taewoo, CEO of Hana Asset Management, stated, "The 1Q US Nasdaq 100 US Treasury Mixed 50 ETF is optimized for pension investment, as it allows for diversification across the leading US tech index, US short-term treasuries, and dollar assets in a single investment."
He added, "Going forward, we will continue to maintain the industry’s lowest fee levels for the four flagship index ETF types that are essential for long-term pension investment."
The 1Q K-Sovereign AI ETF, which was listed on September 30, also successfully settled in the market, recording a net purchase of 1 billion won by individual investors. This product invests in domestic AI software companies directly related to President Lee Jaemyung's first pledge of making South Korea one of the top three global artificial intelligence (AI) powerhouses.
