TIGER ETF Blends Chip Growth, Dollar Assets

Mirae Asset Global Investments is set to launch the "TIGER Samsung Electronics SK hynix U.S. Treasury Mixed 50" ETF on August 25. This bond-mixed ETF aims to capitalize on the growth potential of Samsung Electronics and SK hynix, while also incorporating the benefits of dollar assets. The ETF allocates 25% of its assets to both Samsung Electronics and SK hynix, two key players in the rapidly expanding AI infrastructure and memory demand sectors.

Additionally, it invests 50% of its assets in short-term U.S. Treasuries, which offer a hedge against domestic stock volatility and provide a source for monthly distributions due to their relatively high yields. As short-term U.S. Treasuries have a remaining maturity of 0 to 1 year, this strategy minimizes potential bond price volatility caused by interest rate fluctuations.

The ETF is also eligible for 100% investment through retirement pensions, allowing for a diversified allocation of up to 85% in risk assets like equity ETFs, with the remaining 30% invested in the TIGER ETF. This product offers a unique combination of domestic equities and dollar assets, providing long-term retirement investors with diversification potential and shielding domestic stocks from potential market downturns.
