Ideas
Park Hyun-ji Manager 3:14
Korean securities stocks pay more dividends
Korean securities firms are fundamentally attractive and, with corporate governance reform and shareholder-return policies, can increasingly distribute strong profits as dividends; investors can target high-dividend securities stocks for a more stable mix of capital gains and income.

Prefer diversified AI ETFs over IGV
The 'SaaS-pocalypse' fear that AI will wipe out software is overstated; pure software ETFs such as IGV are not recommended, and a diversified AI theme ETF with software at only 30-40% plus hardware and power exposure is a better way to participate.

Quality AI software names worth watching
Even if the broad software sector is under pressure, quality software companies with differentiated AI/cloud exposure remain worth watching: Palantir in vertical AI, Microsoft in cloud, and Oracle expanding through collaboration with Nvidia/OpenAI.
US high-dividend active ETF to watch
A new US-focused follow-up to the popular Korean high-dividend ETF strategy; active management is justified because US high-dividend yields are lower than Korean ones, letting the manager seek both dividends and capital gains, screen out weak fundamentals, respond to US surprises, and potentially use pension-account tax benefits.
China bio active ETF to watch
A China-focused version of the established KoAct BioHealthcare active strategy, mainly investing in CDMO and export-oriented Chinese healthcare companies; the strategy is similar but the region differs, so its performance translation from the original strategy is worth watching.
Pure securities ETF for capital gains
TIGER Securities ETF gives pure, market-cap-weighted exposure to the Korean securities sector, making it primarily a capital-gains vehicle rather than an income vehicle; its yield is only around 1.6%, but its performance has been strong and it captures concentrated exposure such as Mirae Asset Securities, which has some space-sector tilt.
High-dividend securities ETF with monthly payouts
HANARO Securities High Dividend Top 3 Plus selects high-dividend Korean securities firms using dividend yield, ROE, profitability, and market-cap screens, then concentrates 60% in the top three; it rebalances semiannually, pays monthly dividends, has an expected yield in the low 3% range, and charges only 0.07%, offering both income and capital gains.
Korean financial high-dividend valuation ETF
RISE Korea Financial High Dividend invests across Korean financials including securities, insurance, and financial holding companies, using high dividend, ROE, and low PBR/valuation screens; securities weight is about 30%, dividend yield is around 2.8-3%, and it is more valuation and dividend focused than pure securities ETFs.
Unique IB-financial holding ETF, top pick
WON Large-Cap IB & Financial Holding ETF is described as the only Korean ETF combining large investment banks/securities firms and financial holding companies, providing exposure to capital strength and stability; it is positioned to offer some downside defense and dividends while still participating in capital gains, and was the speaker's top pick among the four.
