Hana Bank Achieves No.1 Bank Sector Performance in Retirement Pension Default Option Returns

'Low-Risk Portfolio 2' Ranks First Among Banks in 1-, 3-, 6-, and 12-Month Returns
All High-, Medium-, and Low-Risk Product Groups Achieve Top 1-, 3-, and 6-Month Returns Among Banks

Hana Bank announced on the 23rd that its default option (pre-designated operation system) low-risk portfolio product for retirement pensions has ranked first among banks for all periods.

According to the major status disclosure of the 4th quarter 2024 retirement pension default options announced by the Ministry of Employment and Labor on the 18th, Hana Bank's 'Low-Risk Portfolio 2' product recorded returns of 1.74%, 5.41%, 5.71%, and 10.46% for 1-month, 3-month, 6-month, and 1-year periods respectively, achieving the highest returns among low-risk products in the banking sector for all periods.

Hana Bank ranked first among banks in the high-, medium-, and low-risk product groups for 1-month, 3-month, and 6-month returns, showing remarkable performance in short-term returns as well. For the 6-month return, 'High-Risk BF3' recorded 10.67%, while 'Medium-Risk Portfolio 3' and 'Low-Risk Portfolio 2' recorded 7.59% and 5.71% respectively. These products have set some of the industry's lowest fees, and are expected to achieve effective long-term investment results going forward.

As a result, amid a rapidly growing market with 7.2 trillion KRW flowing into default options over six months since June last year, Hana Bank has solidified its position as the top retirement pension bank by achieving excellent returns with newly structured default option portfolio products.

In particular, based on a thorough post-management system for pension assets, Hana Bank quickly responded to the purpose of the default option system, 'improving returns,' by being the first in the industry to reorganize the default option portfolio product lineup in May last year according to market conditions.

A Hana Bank official stated, "We are striving to repay customers who trust Hana Bank with their valuable pension assets with the best returns," adding, "As the number one bank in pension management, we plan to continuously introduce differentiated pension asset management services based on accumulated know-how."

Hana Bank also achieved first place among banks in the operation return rate of principal-guarantee-free products for both individual IRP and defined contribution (DC) systems throughout 2024, as well as first place in the increase of retirement pension reserves across all financial sectors.
