The Korea Fund is a closed-ended fund focused on South Korean equities with performance that is slightly ahead of its benchmark over the last decade. The fund has a discount to NAV of over 17% in the last 6 months, which may contract substantially in a bullish run in South Korean stocks.

The JPM-managed Korea Fund is undergoing a period of relative underperformance. But there are mitigating factors, including relatively discounted portfolio valuations and a wide NAV discount.

The Korea Fund is a good vehicle for gaining exposure to South Korea's stock market, especially in July when the discount is near a historical low. Despite underperforming the iShares MSCI South Korea ETF, KF can outperform during bull markets, having done so by over 10 percentage points in the past year. South Korea's economy faces headwinds with declining exports, but there are opportunities in the country's larger tech and consumer stocks, as well as in its banking sector.

2023 is shaping up to be a much better year for Korea as last year's headwinds begin to reverse. In addition to a fundamental export-led recovery, equities should also benefit from technical and policy-driven valuation tailwinds.
