Shinhan Asset Management announced on the 2nd that it paid monthly dividends for two types of "SOL Palantir Covered Call ETF Series."
The distribution is 225 won per share for SOL Palantir U.S. Chaebud Call Mix and 194 won per share for SOL Palantir Covered Call OTM Bond Mix, with monthly distribution rates of 2.07% and 2.00%, respectively, based on the closing price on the previous day of the distribution. As of the 2nd, the annual conversion share was 20.07 percent and 24.76 percent, respectively.
The Palantir Covered Call series has consistently paid high levels of distribution since its listing in April 2025, leading to an inflow of funds centered on individual investors. "SOL Palantir Covered Call OTM Bond Mix" recorded a net worth of 323.7 billion won and "SOL Palantir U.S. Chaebird Call Mix" recorded a net worth of 206.3 billion won, exceeding 500 billion won in the series. The combined net purchase amount of individual investors of the two products is about 270 billion won.
"The stock prices of U.S. AI software companies, including Palantir, have recently been sluggish, and the point where the market reacted particularly sensitively seems to have been profitability (margin) rather than sales growth," said Kim Ki-duk, head of Shinhan Asset Management's Quant & ETF management division. "Even though Microsoft recorded significant performance, the stock price plunged due to concerns over cost burden due to increased investment in AI infrastructure and slowing growth of key growth engines, and this effect acted as an event to strengthen the overall perception of sluggish AI software industry."
"The SOL Palantir Curbard Call series is bound to be affected by Palantir stock prices, but it was able to buffer losses through a high level of monthly dividends while limiting the decline," Kim added.
SOL Palantir Covered Call OTM Bond Mix ETF seeks to create aggressive incentives through selling OTM call options, with some participation in the rise in Palantir shares. On the other hand, SOL Palantir U.S. Chaebirds Call Mixed ETF aims to incorporate up to 30% of Palantir's share while combining U.S. long-term bond-based covered call strategies for relatively stable monthly distribution resources.
Palantir is building a unique AI ecosystem centered on Gotham, private industrial foundry, and Generative AI platform 'AIP' in the government and defense sectors. In particular, sales contributions of defense and space projects are expected to begin in earnest in 2026.
"Palantir continues to build up big references, and the long-term growth momentum has not been damaged due to the news of large-scale supply contracts with HD Hyundai and the U.K.'s Ministry of Defense in January," Director Kim said. "However, it is expected that the starting point of the stock rebound will be when signals such as ▲ stabilization of profitability guidance ▲ bottom check of slowing cloud growth ▲ visualization of AI cost efficiency ▲ confirmation of price power are confirmed across the AI software industry."
