Exchange Traded Concepts Announces Launch of Hanwha Asset Management's PLUS Korea Defense Industry Index ETF (KDEF) on the U.S. Market

한국 방산 부문을 미국 투자 시장에 소개하기 위해 미국 ETF 전문 투자자문 업체 익스체인지 트레이디드 컨셉(ETC)는 한화 자산운용의 PLUS Korea Defense Industry Index ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KDEF#NYSE">KDEF</a>)를 출시하여 투자자들에게 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">한국의 번창하는 방산 산업에 대한 노출</a>을 제공한다.
&#8220;우리는 PLUS Korea Defense Industry Index ETF (KDEF)를 미국 시장에 소개하게 되어 매우 기쁘다&#8221;라고 한화의 CEO 김종호가 말했다. &#8220;한국에 상장된 Plus K-Defense ETF의 기반 위에 확장된 이번 출시는 미국 투자자들에게 한국 방산 산업에 대한 노출을 제공할 수 있는 기회를 나타낸다. 이 ETF를 NYSE Arca에 상장하는 데 도움을 주신 익스체인지 트레이디드 컨셉의 지원에 감사드린다.&#8221;
KDEF는 한국 방산 산업 지수의 총 수익률 성과를 반영하는 것을 목표로 한다. 이 펀드는 0.65%의 순운용비용 비율을 가지고 있으며, 이는 경쟁력 있는 수치이다.
또한 읽어보기: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43542002/calamos-new-cpsf-etf-offers-growth-with-a-safety-net">칼라모스의 새로운 CPSF ETF는 안전망을 갖춘 성장 기회를 제공합니다.</a>
한국 방산 산업 지수는 방산 관련 사업에 종사하는 한국 기업에 초점을 맞추고 있다. 여기에는 조선업, 위성 통신, 토목 공사 및 공공 시설 건설 등 여러 분야의 전문 기업이 포함된다. 이 새로운 ETF는 이러한 노출을 활용하는 것을 목표로 한다.
이 지수에 포함되기 위해서는 기업의 최소 시가총액이 3천억 원 이상이어야 하며, 이는 2025년 2월 5일 기준 약 2억 6천만 달러에 해당한다. 단일 구성 종목의 비중이 전체 지수의 20%를 초과할 수 없다. KDEF는 지수를 밀접하게 추적하며, 투자금의 최소 80%를 한국 방산 산업 지수에 포함된 증권에 배분한다.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">정치적 불확실성에도 불구하고 시장은 여전히 회복세</h2>
1월 중순에 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/25/01/42993441/south-korean-president-yoon-suk-yeol-arrested-kospi-edges-higher-despite-political-upheaval-won-stable">윤석열 대통령의 체포</a>라는 전례 없는 국가 정치적 위기에도 불구하고 한국 시장과 원화는 회복력을 보였다. 미국 투자자들에게 주요 지표인 iShares MSCI South Korea ETF는 대통령 체포 후 상승하여 한국 시장에 대한 투자자 신뢰를 반영했다.
또한, 기술 회사들이 한국으로 투자와 확장을 하고 있다. 예를 들어, 아이온큐(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IONQ#NYSE">IONQ</a>)는 한국 부산시와의 새로운 파트너십을 통해 글로벌 입지를 확장했다. 이 협력은 양자 기술을 발전시키고 지역 인재 개발을 지원하는 것을 목표로 한다.
안정성과 인상적인 성장률은 한국을 주요 관심 시장으로 만들며, 한국 증권에 투자하는 가장 안전한 방법은 ETF를 통해 투자하는 것이다. 한국 섹터에 노출된 다른 인기 ETF로는 Franklin FTSE South Korea ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FLKR#NYSE">FLKR</a>)와 iShares MSCI South Korea ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EWY#NYSE">EWY</a>)가 있으며, 이들 모두는 올해 들어 약 6% 상승했다.
