Daishin Asset Management said Wednesday it will offer its "Daishin Representative Companies and High Dividend Target-Return Securities Investment Trust No. 4" through Aug. 21.

The fund invests in promising second-half themes in the domestic stock market and in companies with strong dividend and shareholder return trends, while incorporating government bonds to enhance stability.

On the equity side, the fund selects sector-leading companies based on global megatrends and the domestic industrial landscape, focusing on firms with expected earnings improvement and solid profit structures. Companies anticipated to offer high dividend yields and expanded shareholder returns are also included.

Exposure to shares and related assets is capped at 30 percent of the portfolio. The remaining assets are invested at around 70 percent in three-, five- and 10-year government bonds. The fund manages short- and long-term government bonds flexibly according to market conditions, using staggered trading to control risk from bond price fluctuations.

The target net asset value is set at 1,060 won, aiming for a 6 percent return after fees and before taxes. Once the target price is reached, the fund will shift its strategy five business days later to focus on domestic short-term bonds and liquid assets to lock in gains.

"We built a portfolio tailored to current market conditions, drawing on our accumulated experience managing target-return funds," said Lee Jae-woo, executive vice president at Daishin Asset Management. "With major companies becoming more attractive investments following the recent correction in the domestic stock market, we expect solid performance."

Daishin Asset Management has been steadily rolling out target-return products combining domestic shares and government bonds since 2023. The "Representative Companies and High Dividend Target-Return" No. 2, launched this year, hit its target return within two weeks.

In March, the firm launched the "Daishin G.O. Korea Target-Return" fund.
