Global X Europe, the European ETF provider of Mirae Asset Global Investments, has achieved a significant milestone, surpassing $8 billion in assets under management (AUM). This achievement solidifies its position in the European exchange-traded fund (ETF) market, the second-largest globally, according to the South Korea-based asset manager, announced Tuesday.
As of the end of January, Global X Europe reported an AUM of $8.03 billion. Notably, the company experienced substantial growth in 2025, with its assets increasing by 214.6 percent. Mirae Asset highlighted this remarkable growth as the fastest among European ETF managers holding over $1 billion in assets.
This landmark was reached in less than five years since Mirae Asset’s expansion into the European ETF market in late 2020. The European market, boasting approximately $3.5 trillion in assets, trails only the US market, which holds around $13.8 trillion.
To further drive its growth strategy, Global X Europe recently appointed Gea Blumberg, formerly the chief strategy officer at WisdomTree, a global asset manager, as its co-chief executive officer.
Based in Germany, Blumberg will co-lead the company alongside George Taylor, the current co-head of Europe and chief operating officer. Global X Europe is actively expanding its presence in Germany, recently establishing a sales office in Frankfurt.
“The growth Global X Europe has demonstrated over the last three years indicates that its innovative product approach effectively addresses the demands of European investors,” stated Blumberg during her inauguration. She emphasized that the company is at a “critical growth phase.”
Kim Young-hwan, head of innovations and global management at Mirae Asset Global Investments, commented that the European ETF market is now in a cyclical growth stage.
“Global X Europe has successfully established itself in the market with products and strategies that resonate with retail investors. We will continue to enhance our competitive edge in the European ETF market by attracting top talent and expanding our local operations,” he affirmed.
