Eugene Investment & Securities Launches "Join Asset-CSOP Advisory Wrap"

Eugene Investment & Securities (Co-CEOs: Yoo Changsoo, Ko Kyungmo) announced on May 14 that it has launched the "Eugene Champion Join Asset-CSOP Advisory Wrap," an investment product focused on Chinese mainland and Hong Kong stocks, in response to the potential rebound of the Chinese stock market.

This newly launched wrap service invests in Chinese ETFs and individual stocks listed on the Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Hong Kong stock exchanges. It is a global collaboration product that combines the Chinese market research expertise of Join Asset Global Asset Management, the ETF management know-how of CSOP Asset Management, a leading Hong Kong asset manager, and the equity management capabilities of Eugene Investment & Securities.

The "Eugene Champion Join Asset-CSOP Advisory Wrap" (Grade 1/Very High Risk) seeks both "growth potential" through China's core growth technology stocks and "stability" based on ETFs. As China's core growth engine shifts to companies leading technological innovation, the wrap selects companies with outstanding technological capabilities, companies with monopolistic market dominance, and companies with differentiated competitiveness, then aims to achieve excess returns through active market response. In addition, diversified investment based on index, thematic, and bond ETFs is expected to provide stable risk management.

Ahn Sungjae, Head of Financial Products at Eugene Investment & Securities, stated, "Due to the DeepSeek event, the revaluation of Chinese technology, attractive valuations, and government-led core industry fostering policies, attention should be paid to the upward trend of the Chinese stock market." He added, "We launched this wrap service for clients interested in asset allocation strategies involving both the US and China, as well as for those who find direct investment challenging for various reasons."

Heo Jaehwan, Head of the Global Macro Team at the Eugene Investment & Securities Research Center, also commented, "With the increasing risks associated with Trump’s policies, the Chinese stock market could become a new alternative for investors." He cited the following factors: the significant reduction in China's dependence on the US economy since the 2018 US-China trade dispute; the high likelihood that the Chinese government will shift to domestic demand expansion policies as export-driven growth stalls; and the heightened interest in Chinese tech stocks after DeepSeek, along with strong technological capabilities in fields such as robotics, autonomous driving, and AI.

The "Eugene Champion Join Asset-CSOP Advisory Wrap" is classified as ultra-high risk and is available only to investors with an aggressive or higher risk profile. The minimum investment amount is 50 million KRW, with a basic management fee of 0.5% per annum and a front-end fee of 2.0%. Early termination is also possible. Subscriptions are available through Eugene Investment & Securities’ MTS and all nationwide branches.

However, as there is a risk of principal loss due to fluctuations in the global stock market, investors should ensure they receive a thorough explanation of the product before investing.
