NH Amundi Asset Management announced on the 26th that it has listed the 'HANARO 27-06 corporate bond (AA- or higher) active' exchange-traded fund (ETF) on the securities market.
This fund is a maturity-matching (existence period) type ETF that will automatically liquidate upon reaching maturity on June 22, 2027. It invests in unsecured corporate bonds with a rating of AA- or higher and an outstanding balance of more than 50 billion won.
It can seek the yield to maturity (YTM) at the time of purchase, making it suitable for investors who prefer stable and predictable revenue. The expected YTM based on the benchmark index is at a level of 2.64% as of the 22nd of this month.
Even if not held until maturity, it is possible to respond according to interest rate movements. If interest rates rise and bond prices fall, it can be used as an opportunity for additional purchases; if interest rates fall and bond prices rise, capital gains can be realized.
Kim Seung-cheol, head of the ETF investment department at NH Amundi Asset Management, said, "It is a product that includes high-rated corporate bonds, seeking predictable performance," and noted, "In the context of expected gradual declines in the benchmark rate, corporate bonds providing higher interest rates compared to government bonds will be a good option at this time."
