Hana Asset Management to Hold Online Seminar on Newly Listed 1Q K-Sovereign AI ETF

Hana Asset Management will hold an online live seminar on the investment strategy of the "1Q K-Sovereign AI ETF," which was listed on September 30, through its official YouTube channel on October 21.

Sovereign AI is being supported and fostered at the national level not only in European countries such as the United Kingdom, France, Finland, and Germany, but also in Asian countries including China, India, Singapore, and Taiwan. President Lee Jaemyung has also made becoming one of the top three AI powerhouses his first pledge, emphasizing that AI is the core infrastructure for national sovereignty and industrial competitiveness, and is strongly driving Korea's unique Korea Sovereign AI policy.

Recently, Naver, a leading sovereign AI company, announced a surprise merger with Dunamu, which owns Upbit, the top virtual asset exchange, drawing significant attention from investors. The 1Q K-Sovereign AI ETF, the first sovereign AI ETF in Korea with the highest allocation to Naver, has continued a streak of net purchases by individual investors for 10 consecutive trading days since its listing on September 30. The cumulative net purchases by individual and bank investors quickly surpassed 10 billion won.

The 1Q K-Sovereign AI ETF tracks the iSelect K-Sovereign AI Index, investing in leading domestic software companies that are developing proprietary AI technology and pursuing commercialization. The iSelect K-Sovereign AI Index invests in 15 key companies closely related to sovereign AI, including those in AI software, AI platforms, AI search engines, cloud, mobile services, and data analytics. The maximum allocation per stock is capped at 27.5%, with a minimum allocation of 2%, and the index is rebalanced quarterly, four times a year.

The ETF allocates 27.5% each to Naver, which plans to expand its business with stablecoins, and Kakao, which has announced a transition to AI-native operations. Other holdings include Samsung SDS, LG CNS, Douzone Bizon, Selvas AI, Woori Technology Investment, MRO, ITCEN Global, NHN, and Danal.

The online seminar will be divided into two parts. The first part will feature Park Seunghyun, Director at BitGo Korea, a global digital asset financial institution, who will explain stablecoins and blockchain under the theme "The Web 3.0 Era Based on Digital Assets Envisioned by Naver and Dunamu." The second part will be a lecture by Kim Seunghyun, Head of the ETF/Quant Solution Division at Hana Asset Management, on the "1Q K-Sovereign AI ETF Investment Strategy," analyzing the Lee Jaemyung administration's top three AI powerhouse policy and explaining investment methods for software-related stocks expected to benefit from this policy.

Kim Taewoo, CEO of Hana Asset Management, stated, "Becoming one of the top three AI powerhouses is expected to be one of the core policies with the greatest benefits during the five years of the Lee Jaemyung administration," and added, "I hope this seminar will provide an opportunity to not only learn about ETF investment strategies for K-Sovereign AI through the 1Q ETF, but also to broaden understanding of digital assets such as stablecoins."
