Hanwha Asset Management announced on the 24th that it will list a new exchange-traded fund (ETF) of "PLUSK Manufacturing Core Companies Active," which invests in key domestic manufacturing companies.
The 'PLUS K Manufacturing Core Companies Active' ETF is an active ETF that takes 'AI Hard Power' such as semiconductors and energy and national strategic industries such as defense, shipbuilding, space, and bio as major investment pillars.
The product consists of semiconductor companies such as Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, energy-related companies such as LG Energy Solution, LS, and LS ELECTRIC, and representative stocks in defense and high-tech industries such as Hanwha Aerospace and Hanwha Vision.
"Korea has global manufacturing competitiveness in key growth areas in the AI era," said Kim Seo-young, manager of Hanwha Asset Management. "The global manufacturing sector is changing, and Korean companies are at the center of it, and the re-evaluation of Korea will continue."
It is explained that Korean manufacturing companies have emerged as key pillars amid the reorganization of global supply chains due to the U.S.-China conflict and geopolitical risks in the Middle East.
Meanwhile, Hanwha Asset Management said it plans to expand the strategy to overseas markets in the future. It plans to pursue listing in major countries such as the United States, targeting foreign investors who have difficulty investing directly in the Korean stock market.
