After 3 Years and 8 Months Since Launch, Sales Balance of 'Retirement Pension ETF' Surpasses 2 Trillion Won in Banking Sector
Enhanced Transaction Convenience Through Strict Product Selection, Thorough Post-Management, and Systematic Installment Purchase System
Hana Bank announced on July 10 that the sales balance of its 'Retirement Pension Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF)'?first launched in the banking sector in November 2021?has surpassed 2 trillion won after 3 years and 8 months.
In particular, the sales balance of Hana Bank's retirement pension ETF exceeded 1 trillion won in November 2024, and then reached 2 trillion won in just 8 months, demonstrating rapid growth.
The 'Retirement Pension ETF' allows subscribers to invest their accumulated funds in exchange-traded funds, enabling investment in a variety of assets such as stocks and bonds.
Hana Bank strictly selects investment products in order to improve the long-term returns and ensure the stable management of retirement pension assets. While adhering to this rigorous selection process, the bank has added more than 50 ETF products to its lineup since the fourth quarter of 2024, and now offers a total of 159 ETF products. The active supply of products that meet customer needs and are suitable for long-term investment has led to the sharp increase in sales balances.
Among the approximately 800 'Retirement Pension ETF' products available for subscription in Korea, Hana Bank selects and sells ETF products based on various evaluation indicators such as risk-adjusted returns, fees, and ratings from external fund evaluation agencies. In addition, the bank has established a strict post-management process, regularly evaluating the products it sells and discontinuing those with inferior performance or competitiveness.
Hana Bank offers a variety of services to retirement pension subscribers. These include providing the 'ETF Guidebook' every month to deliver the latest ETF-related information to customers, introducing a systematic installment purchase system, and offering a regular investment purchase service, all of which have continuously improved transaction convenience. In August, the bank plans to update the 'Hana OneQ' app to allow customers to view the constituent stocks of ETF products at a glance.
Furthermore, in March, Hana Bank became the first in the financial sector to launch a 'Retirement Pension Robo-Advisor Discretionary Management Service.' In April, it introduced the 'Hana MP Subscription Service,' which provides investment portfolios via KakaoTalk. Through such portfolio investment services, the bank is offering customers a variety of easy and convenient ways to manage their pension assets.
A representative from Hana Bank's Pension Business Division stated, "We are focusing all our business capabilities to ensure that our customers' valuable pension assets are managed efficiently," and added, "As the leading bank specializing in pensions, we will continue to provide a diverse range of products and services that will satisfy our customers."
Meanwhile, as of the end of the first quarter of 2025, Hana Bank achieved the highest annual returns in the banking sector in three out of four retirement pension default option (pre-designated management system) categories?aggressive investment, neutral investment, and stable investment?demonstrating excellent performance.
