As individuals’ investment craze shifted to pensions, the balance of ETFs in pension accounts at major securities companies increased to 3 trillion won. It has increased more than six times in one year and three months. In addition, pension savings fund account openings also surged to 380,000 cases, a quadruple increase from the previous year. It is interpreted that the number of’pension ants’ who can no longer withstand the’Rattail Yield’ in the last year after a strong rebound since last year is on the rise.
On the 23rd, the balance of ETFs included in the pension savings fund and personal retirement pension (IRP) in mid-March of five major domestic securities companies, including Mirae Asset Securities, Samsung Securities, Korea Investment, NH Investment, and Shinhan Investment, amounted to KRW 2,961.3 billion. It was counted. This is a 528% increase from KRW 471.7 billion at the end of 2019. At the end of last year, it was KRW 1.97 trillion, an increase of KRW 1.55 trillion compared to the previous year, and in just three months, it increased by KRW 9857 billion.
This is because subscribers have significantly increased their investment in equity-type ETFs to increase pension account returns. In the case of Mirae Asset Securities, the proportion of ETF investment in pension savings accounts increased from 6% at the end of 2019 to 18% last year, and Samsung Securities also increased from 2.6% to 11.3% during the same period. The most invested ETFs included overseas investment ETFs such as △TIGER US NASDAQ 100, △KODEX US FANG Plus (H) △TIGER China Electric Vehicle SOLACTIVE, and △KODEX rechargeable battery industry △TIGER KRX secondary battery K-New Deal.
Pension savings fund account opening also surged. The number of new pension savings fund accounts opened by the five major securities firms was 380,094, a 300% increase from the previous year (96,037). Ryu Kyung-sik, head of WM Pension Marketing Division, Mirae Asset Asset Management said, “As the stock market showed a good trend last year amid long-term low interest rates, more investors are trying to actively manage pensions as investment products. This trend will continue this year.”
