Timefolio Asset Management Surpasses 800 Billion KRW in Net Asset Value

Timefolio Asset Management announced on the 6th that as of the 5th, its ETF Assets Under Management (AUM) surpassed 810 billion KRW, marking an approximately threefold increase compared to the beginning of the year.

This is analyzed as a result of gaining investors' trust through differentiated management strategies and excellent performance based on stock selection.

According to the Korea Exchange, Timefolio Asset Management's ETF AUM increased from 272 billion KRW at the beginning of the year to 816.6 billion KRW in one year. The AUM of the 'TIMEFOLIO US Nasdaq100 Active ETF,' which benefited from the expansion of artificial intelligence (AI) weighting and the successful 'Trump Trading,' grew about 11 times compared to the start of the year. It has received great response from individual and pension investors with returns more than twice those of typical Nasdaq100 ETFs.

While the domestic market has fallen more than 7% since the beginning of the year, the 'TIMEFOLIO Korea Plus Dividend Active ETF' rose more than 24% including dividends, increasing its AUM about fivefold. Through steady monthly dividends and two special dividends, it paid an annual dividend of 9% as of the end of November. It recorded an excess return of 34 percentage points (P) compared to the KOSPI 200. This strategy, which pursues both dividends and profits, is gaining popularity mainly among pension investors and high-net-worth individuals.

Excluding leveraged and inverse products among domestically listed ETFs, Timefolio demonstrated outstanding management capabilities by placing three ETFs in the top ranks of returns since the beginning of the year. It holds a dominant position with about 20% market share in the active equity ETF market. It ranks first among asset management companies that manage only equity ETFs.

Kim Nam-ui, head of Timefolio Asset Management, said, "Timefolio Asset Management will continue to do its best to provide investors with steady returns and trust," adding, "We will quickly respond to market changes and continue to produce outstanding results."
