Mirae Asset Global Investments has announced a significant milestone, with its total assets under management (AUM) reaching an impressive 624 trillion won ($415 billion). This marks the first time the global asset manager has surpassed the 600 trillion won threshold, underscoring its rapid expansion and strong market position.
The company has experienced extraordinary AUM growth in recent years. Its assets climbed from approximately 250 trillion won at the end of 2022 to over 300 trillion won in 2024, before accelerating to surpass 500 trillion won in 2025. This consistent upward trajectory highlights Mirae Asset’s effective investment strategies and increasing investor confidence.
A primary catalyst for this remarkable growth has been the success of its global Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) business, spearheaded by its renowned subsidiary, Global X. The surge in demand for innovative thematic ETFs and robust income-focused ETFs has significantly fueled this expansion, positioning Global X as a leader in specialized investment products.
Mirae Asset Global Investments currently manages a diverse portfolio of 747 ETFs across 13 key markets worldwide. These markets include major financial hubs such as Korea, the United States, Canada, Australia, Europe, Hong Kong, and Japan, firmly placing the firm 12th globally in the competitive ETF market landscape.
Demonstrating its commitment to cutting-edge financial innovation, Mirae Asset is also actively expanding its offerings into tokenized ETFs. These groundbreaking investment vehicles seamlessly integrate traditional exchange-traded funds with advanced blockchain technology. The company noted that thematic tokenized ETFs, focusing on strategic sectors like copper, uranium, and infrastructure, are already actively trading on various global tokenization platforms. Furthermore, Mirae Asset is poised to launch Hong Kong’s inaugural tokenized covered-call ETF in the third quarter, pioneering new avenues for investors.
Domestically, in Korea, the growth momentum has been significantly propelled by the strength of the Tiger ETF lineup, with particular emphasis on the highly successful Tiger Semiconductor TOP10 ETF.
This particular fund, which offers concentrated exposure to leading global chipmakers including industry giants Samsung Electronics and SK hynix, has seen its net assets soar. Starting at 2 trillion won at the beginning of the year, its assets dramatically increased to 10.3 trillion won by the end of April. This growth establishes it as Korea’s largest domestic equity thematic ETF and the third-largest ETF in the country by assets overall, reflecting its strong performance and investor appeal.
Looking to the future, Mirae Asset Global Investments is set to accelerate its commitment to AI-driven investment innovation. This strategic initiative will be powered by enhanced cooperation among its global affiliates, including the U.S.-based AI firm Wealthspot and the Australian robo-adviser platform Stockspot, ensuring sophisticated technological integration across its services.
Lee Jun-yong, CEO and Vice Chairman of Mirae Asset Global Investments, affirmed the company’s vision: “We are dedicated to continuously driving innovation with more sophisticated AI-powered investment solutions, all while strengthening our preeminent position as a leading global asset manager in the dynamic financial market.”
