Samsung Active Asset Management announced on the 8th that it will newly list the 'KoAct K Export Key Corporations TOP 30 Active' exchange-traded fund (ETF).
This product proactively invests in corporations that are significantly growing in exports by utilizing year-over-year growth indicators from monthly export-import data generated at the beginning of each month. The company explained that if the annual growth rate of export-import data continues to increase, the corporations' performance is likely to grow in the long term or improve.
KoAct K Export Key Corporations TOP 30 Active primarily invests in major export industries such as defense, shipbuilding, beauty and medical devices, cosmetics, nuclear power, and entertainment media.
Corporations that experience growth in overseas sales or significant improvements in global recognition through intangible intellectual property (IP) products and services, such as music and content that cannot be discovered through export data, are also investment targets. Samsung Active Asset Management noted that it also utilizes data indicators from global platforms like Google Trends, YouTube traffic trends, and sales metrics from global platforms like Amazon and TikTok Shop in the United States.
The portfolio was composed mainly of corporations such as Hanwha Aerospace, Samyang Foods, APR, and HD Hyundai Electric. It also stated plans to invest in HYBE and SILICON2. The total fee is 0.5% per year.
Kim Juyun, manager of Samsung Active Management, said, 'Based on quantitative data from export-import data, we will proactively discover export growth stocks and expand our investment range to include related corporations, such as music and media, that are not quantifiable.' He noted, 'We will leverage Samsung Active Asset Management's robust corporate research and active management expertise to generate excess revenue compared to the index.'
