Mirae Asset's global ETF assets top W678tr
By Lee
Han-gyoul, The Korea Herald - Mirae Asset Global Investments’ assets under
management surpassed 678 trillion won ($471 billion), driven by strong inflows
into its exchange-traded funds and growth across pensions and alternative
investments.
The milestone
came at the end of June, following rapid growth from 250 trillion won in late
2022 to 500 trillion won in 2025. This is attributed to what it describes as a
“killer product” strategy, which provides differentiated investment solutions
to global investors.
Its Tiger US
S&P 500 and Tiger US Nasdaq 100 ETFs each hold the largest net asset value
among domestically listed funds tracking their respective indexes.
The Tiger US
S&P 500 ETF has emerged as a popular product for long-term, regular
investment through retirement accounts. The Tiger US Nasdaq 100 ETF has also
attracted investors seeking exposure to technology-driven growth, recording a
cumulative return of more than 1,700 percent since its listing.
Mirae Asset is
also expanding its presence in the pension market. The company, which was the
first Korean asset manager to introduce target-date funds, ranks first in both
pension fund assets under management and the domestic TDF market.
In the
outsourced chief investment officer business, Mirae Asset manages public and
policy-related funds, including assets under the pension fund investment pool
and the Housing and Urban Development Fund.
The company is
also expanding its global real estate portfolio. It recently brought the JW
Marriott brand to an island hotel development on Yeosu's Gyeongdo, marking the
luxury hotel brand’s first entry into the region.
Since 2025,
the firm has secured roughly half of domestic core real estate blind funds
backed by the National Pension Service, the Korea Post and the Korea Federation
of SMEs.
Based on this
performance, Park Hyeon-joo, global strategy officer at Mirae Asset Financial
Group, was recently named International Executive of the Year by the Academy of
International Business.
Mirae Asset
Global Investments plans to continue its growth strategy centered on AI-based
investment innovation. It is strengthening its digital asset management
capacities by partnering with global subsidiaries such as US AI firm Wealthspot
and Australian roboadvisor Stockspot.
“Moving
forward, we will offer competitive products that allow investors to distribute
their property efficiently and in line with market conditions,” an official
from Mirae Asset Global Investments said.
