Shinyoung Value High Dividend Equity Fund

Shinyoung Asset Management has pioneered dividend investing in Korea from early 2000s when nobody was looking. It is this contrarian view that bears fruit in time.

• · Shinyoung Value High Dividend Equity Fund was launched a year after Marathon Strategy. We foresaw the low growth,
  low inflation and zero interest rate environment everywhere globally. The necessity for high dividend stocks was
  inevitable, and consequently the fund was able to meet the investors’ needs.
• · The fund aims to achieve consistent long term growth via investments in high dividend stocks. The fund invests in
  companies whose profits and dividends post stable growth.
• · The fund posts high dividend yield than that of the KOSPI’s. In 2020, the dividend yield of the fund posted 3.0%,
  which is higher than 1.5% of KOSPI listed companies’ average dividend yield, and also higher than the interest rate of 0.7%.
