Meanwhile, KB Asset Management has launched a fund that invests in 10 major U.S. big tech companies, including NVIDIA and Apple, designed to automatically switch to a bond-type structure once a 7% target return is achieved. This strategy aims to capture growth opportunities in the AI industry while managing downside risks.
