Samsung Asset Management to list 50-50 US bond and Nasdaq ETF
Samsung Asset Management plans to list a new ETF in South Korea on November 10.
The fund will put half its assets in US Treasury securities with one to three months left until maturity, and half in the Nasdaq-100 index.
The index includes companies such as Nvidia, Apple and Microsoft.
It will rebalance daily to keep the split near 50-50, with each share kept within one percentage point of its target.
The fund is designed to limit price effects from interest-rate changes by holding short-term bonds.
It plans to pay income monthly, based on stock dividends and interest from the Treasury holdings.
South Korean retirement accounts of certain types can invest up to 100% in the fund because its stock allocation is below 50%; the ETF is due to begin trading on November 10.
Samsung Asset Management said it will list an ETF investing equally in US short-term Treasury bonds and the Nasdaq 100 on November 10.
The fund, named KODEX US Nasdaq 100 US Treasury Mixed 50, will invest half its assets in each.
It will rebalance the two holdings daily, keeping their target weights within 1 percentage point of 50% each.
The ETF will make monthly distributions, funded by stock dividends and interest income from US Treasury bonds.
