KB Asset Management's Samsung‑SK Hynix Fund Surpasses 1 trillion won

KB Asset Management announced that its mixed‑asset "KB Samsung Electronics SK Hynix 50" fund has exceeded 1 trillion won in net assets, reaching the milestone about a month after its launch. The fund allocates roughly 25% of its portfolio to each of Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, while the remaining assets are invested in high‑quality government and monetary‑stability bonds with a short duration of 0.9‑1.0 years to lower volatility. Designed for long‑term investors such as retirement‑pension accounts, the product balances growth exposure to AI‑related semiconductor firms with bond stability. KB’s pension‑WM head highlighted strong investor response to the AI‑era focus and bond cushion. The fund’s success parallels the "RISE Samsung‑SK Hynix Bond‑Mixed 50" ETF, which recently crossed 4 trillion won in assets, underscoring robust demand for blended equity‑bond Korean investment vehicles.
