Timefolio Asset Management announced on the 12th that the TIMEFOLIO KOSPI Active ETF rose 7.4% over the past year, ranking first in returns among ETFs tracking the KOSPI. Considering that the KOSPI fell 3.8% during the same period, it recorded an excess return of 11.2 percentage points (P) compared to the market.
According to the Korea Exchange, as of the 11th, the TIMEFOLIO KOSPI Active ETF increased by 7.4% over the past year. It is an active ETF that evenly diversifies investments in large-cap and leading stocks in the domestic market. By appropriately adjusting the weights of representative top market capitalization stocks such as Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, as well as stocks that have led the domestic stock market like HD Hyundai Electric, Samyang Foods, and Hanwha Aerospace, it achieved favorable performance.
Recently, it actively included stocks such as Rainbow Robotics, Meritz Financial Group, and Hanwha Ocean, which correspond to market-leading themes like AI robots, value-up, and shipbuilding, responding proactively in a highly volatile market. Timefolio Asset Management explained that this demonstrated the difference between active ETFs and passive ETFs.
Kim Nam-ui, head of the ETF division at Timefolio Asset Management, said, "The tariff policies of the Trump administration can be regarded as a resolution of uncertainty since they were already anticipated by the market." He added, "The investment attractiveness of domestic companies with global competitiveness in areas such as AI robots and semiconductors will continue," and "This will be proven by performance that reflects market changes most rapidly."
