Prudential Asset Management Co. Introduces New Product ‘Prudential China Smart Wave Balanced Fund’

Seoul--(뉴스와이어)--Prudential Asset Management Co. (PAMC) (CEO Lee Chang-hoon) announced that starting March 25 (Tue), it will distribute a new product named ‘Prudential China Smart Wave Balanced Fund’ to individual and institutional investors who are hoping for China’s stock market boom based on its growth potential but at the same time feeling anxious about heightened market volatility.

‘Prudential China Smart Wave Balanced Fund’ will be managed by PAMC. As an alternative investment during volatile market times, the fund seeks to accumulate capital gains whenever stock prices fluctuate by split selling or buying when stocks go up or down. The fund attributes are as follows.

First, ‘Prudential China Smart Wave Balanced Fund' uses the split trading strategy based on the Smart Wave management system. There are several funds which leverage split trading in the domestic market but this fund primarily invests in the overseas equity (H-share) market. Investors can reap the benefits of split trading which is ideal for buying and selling of stocks in a relatively volatile China market.

Second, the product invests in large-cap stocks with high capitalization and liquidity listed on the Hang Seng China Enterprises Index (HSCEI), which tracks the performance of major H-shares. Over 70% of companies listed on the HSCEI are in the financial, materials and energy sector which drive China’s economic growth. In addition, the fund is designed to seek higher returns as the trading band varies based on the volatility of stock prices. For example, investors can maintain overweight or underweight position in high or low volatile stocks.

Third, ‘Prudential China Smart Wave Balanced Fund’ is managed and its risk is thoroughly controlled by cooperative team work among the management, research, risk management and compliance team of PAMC that holds more than seven years of expertise since 2000 regarding the Smart Wave management system in the domestic market.

‘Prudential China Smart Wave Balanced Fund’ initially holds at least 60% expose in equity and equity position is determined by volatility. The fund is available in two types-with and without currency hedging. There is no minimum investment amount and Regular Savings Plan investment is possible.

“Prudential China Smart Wave Balanced Fund offers Korean investors to seek stable returns amidst growing volatility in the Chinese market,” explained Lee Chang-hoon, CEO of PAMC. He reiterated the merits of the fund saying “Volatility-based trading strategy is used to investment in the Hang Seng China Enterprises Index which can lead to more benefits and opportunities for Korean investors, compared to other volatility indexes such as the Hang Seng Index, KOSPI and NIKKEI 225. This fund is designed to offer alternative and diversification opportunities for customers looking for stable positive returns in the ongoing global market correction.”
