Mental Management & Portfolio Strategy for Beginner Investors Afraid of a Bear Market

Summary

Choi Chang-gyu, Head of ETF Consulting at Mirae Asset Global Investments, presents bond-mixed ETFs as a defensive strategy for beginner investors facing a bear market. He explains how rising rates have made bonds more attractive, and the automatic rebalancing in bond-mixed ETFs provides stability. He covers various types—single stock, index, precious metal, covered call, and active ETFs holding SK hynix ADR—highlighting their tax benefits in pension accounts. The discussion aims to help nervous investors diversify beyond pure equities.

• Bond-mixed ETFs blend equity and bonds with auto-rebalancing, offering defense in volatile markets.

• KOSDAQ 150 bond-mixed ETF is a way to play a potential rebound after historic underperformance.
• S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 bond-mixed ETFs are ideal for pension accounts due to safe-asset treatment and tax deferral.

• Covered call + bond-mixed ETFs generate high monthly income from volatile stocks.
