Seoul, South Korea – Mirae Asset Global Investments announced a significant milestone on Monday, with its global exchange-traded fund (ETF) platform surpassing an impressive 400 trillion won (approximately $264 billion) in assets under management (AUM). This achievement highlights the accelerating expansion and robust performance of its ETF operations across both the dynamic Korean market and diverse international investment landscapes.
By the close of May, this leading asset manager reported managing approximately 421 trillion won in ETF assets spanning 13 key markets, including significant presences in Australia, Canada, Korea, and the United States. Esteemed industry analytics firm ETFGI further confirmed Mirae Asset’s prominent global standing, ranking it as the world’s 12th-largest ETF manager.
This remarkable milestone follows closely on the heels of previous successes, occurring just five months after the firm’s global ETF assets initially exceeded 300 trillion won in late 2025. This consistent expansion underscores a powerful growth trajectory, which also saw AUM surpass 200 trillion won by late 2024, demonstrating Mirae Asset’s sustained market leadership and investor trust.
The primary catalyst for this exceptional growth has been the vigorous expansion of Mirae Asset’s flagship ETF platforms across strategic markets like Korea and the United States. Specifically, the highly successful Tiger ETF franchise has surged to command 160 trillion won in assets. Concurrently, its prominent US subsidiary, Global X, is rapidly nearing the impressive $100 billion mark in assets under management, solidifying its position in the competitive US ETF landscape.
Within the robust Korean ETF market, broad-market offerings such as the popular Tiger 200, Tiger US S&P 500, and Tiger US Nasdaq 100 ETFs continue to draw significant interest from long-term investors seeking diversified exposure. Furthermore, Mirae Asset’s innovative thematic and single-stock products have also gained substantial traction. A prime example is the Tiger Semiconductor TOP10 ETF, which has distinguished itself by becoming the nation’s largest semiconductor-themed ETF based on total assets.
Highlighting the firm’s responsiveness to market trends, the recently introduced Tiger SK hynix Single Stock Leverage ETF captured strong investor enthusiasm. This innovative product recorded the highest first-day net purchases by retail investors among all newly listed ETFs, reflecting strong market demand for targeted investment opportunities.
Internationally, Mirae Asset’s Tiger US Space Tech ETF has capitalized on the surging investor interest in the burgeoning commercial space sector and the anticipation surrounding a potential SpaceX initial public offering (IPO). This specialized fund has seen its assets exceed 2 trillion won, solidifying its position as the largest space-themed ETF available in Korea, catering to global thematic investment trends.
Beyond Korea, Mirae Asset’s international subsidiaries continue their impressive expansion. Notably, in the vibrant Hong Kong market, the Global X China Semiconductor ETF and Global X Asia Semiconductor ETF have significantly captured investor attention, benefiting from the sustained rally in artificial intelligence (AI) and semiconductor-related stocks globally.
Kim Young-hwan, Head of Global Management at Mirae Asset Global Investments, commented on this stellar performance: “Our Tiger ETF and Global X platforms are not only achieving but also setting new industry benchmarks within the dynamic global ETF sector. We are firmly committed to continuously strengthening our global ETF competitiveness and providing innovative solutions that empower investors in their long-term wealth creation journey.”
