Hana Asset Management announced on the 24th that the net assets of the 1Q US Nasdaq 100 US Treasury Bond Mix 50 Active ETF, launched as a 'second-generation bond-mixed ETF,' surpassed 50 billion won in just 11 trading days.
This ETF is suitable for strategies that actively increase the proportion of Nasdaq 100 in retirement pension (DC/IRP) accounts to boost expected returns. According to regulations, retirement pension accounts must invest 30% of total assets in safe assets such as deposits, savings, bonds, or bond-mixed funds, while only up to 70% can be invested in risky assets like stocks.
The product's total expense ratio is 0.05% per year, which is the lowest among all bond-mixed ETFs listed in Korea. It is cheaper compared to the 0.15% expense ratio of similar US representative index bond-mixed ETFs.
As of the listing date on the 30th of last month, individual investors recorded a net purchase of 5.5 billion won. In the context of this year's sharp global stock market rally, this second-generation bond-mixed ETF, which tracks about 50% of the Nasdaq 100 and allocates about 50% to US short-term bonds to pursue both returns and stability, is being chosen by individual investors.
This year, Hana Asset Management has successively launched ▲1Q US S&P 500 ▲1Q US S&P 500 US Treasury Bond Mix 50 Active ▲1Q US Nasdaq 100. With the listing of the 1Q US Nasdaq 100 US Treasury Bond Mix 50 Active ETF, the company has completed its series of US representative index ETFs for retirement investors.
CEO Kim Taewoo introduced the product by saying, "The 1Q US Nasdaq 100 US Treasury Bond Mix 50 ETF is optimized for retirement investment, as it allows for diversification into both US tech and US short-term treasuries through a single investment."
He added, "Since low fees have an absolute impact on long-term investment returns, we will continue to maintain the industry's lowest level of fees for all four types of US representative index products for investors." He further emphasized, "Going forward, Hana Asset Management will continue to lead as a product provider to help improve the expected returns of retirement investors."
