Hanwha Asset Management said on the 30th that it won major categories at the "Asia Asset Management ETF Awards 2026," organized by AAM (Asia Asset Management), a Hong Kong-based media, research, and conference platform.
AAM is a Hong Kong-based platform that specializes in institutional investors, pension funds, exchange-traded funds (ETF), and the asset management industry in Asia. The ETF awards, newly established this year, were prepared by AAM to spotlight the ETF industry separately.
The awards were divided into two categories: Single Market Awards and Asia-Pacific (Regional) Awards. For ETFs listed in Korea and the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, awards were presented in 21 and 22 categories, respectively.
Hanwha Asset Management's "PLUS K-defense industry ETF" won "Best Absolute Performing ETF of the Year" in the Single Market Awards and "Best Absolute Performing ETF in Asia-Pacific" in the Asia-Pacific (Regional) Awards. In addition, the "PLUS high-dividend stocks ETF" won "Best Dividend ETF" in the Korea category of the Single Market Awards.
Hanwha Asset Management said the recognition is significant because it shows that the performance of the PLUS ETFs has been acknowledged not only in the domestic market but also in the Asia-Pacific region.
Meanwhile, during this visit, Hanwha Asset Management, at the invitation of a local securities firm, also held a seminar for high-net-worth individuals in Hong Kong. The seminar focused on the competitiveness of the Korean stock market and major industries, as well as key investment themes in the ETF market.
Vice President Choi Young-jin of Hanwha Asset Management said, "This recognition is significant because it shows that the performance of the PLUS ETFs has been acknowledged not only in Korea but also in the Asia-Pacific region," adding, "We expect it will serve as an opportunity to demonstrate the investment value of resilient Korean corporations to Asian investors."
