[2026 Asia Fund Awards] KCGI China Fund, A "Greater China" Fund Delivering Both Growth And Stability

Best Fund in the Overseas Fund Category

At the 2026 Asia Fund Awards, KCGI Asset Management's KCGI China Fund was selected as the Best Fund in the overseas fund category.

Launched on December 23, 2016, the fund invests not only in mainland China but also in leading "Greater China" companies in Hong Kong and Taiwan, with China's representative technology companies known as the "T10" as its core investment targets. It is characterized by a management approach that combines a bottom-up strategy based on analyzing the fundamentals of individual companies with structural growth trends such as GDP growth in the Chinese market.

As of the end of last year, KCGI China Fund had 221.6 billion won in assets under management. Since inception, it has delivered a cumulative return of 286.83%, outperforming its benchmark (BM) by 200.05 percentage points. In addition, it has shown consistently strong performance, with a 6-month return of 28.90% and a 1-year return of 34.55%.

KCGI Asset Management has adopted "thorough risk management within a concentrated investment strategy" as the fund's core management principle. It employs a "barbell structure" that combines aggressive growth sectors such as semiconductors, electric vehicles, and artificial intelligence (AI) with defensive sectors such as domestic consumption and financial stocks. This allows the fund to diversify overall volatility even when there are sharp corrections in a single theme or industry.

In addition, through "Greater China investing," which diversifies its investment regions across mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, the fund is able to offset risks arising from differences in policy, exchange rates, and industrial structures.
