Mirae Asset Financial Group Achieves Trillion-Dollar Milestone in Client Assets Under Management
Seoul, South Korea – Mirae Asset Financial Group announced Wednesday that its total client assets under management (AUM) successfully surpassed the $1 trillion mark as of the end of May. This significant achievement underscores the group’s robust growth, with approximately $757.1 billion managed domestically and a substantial $259 billion overseen across its global operations.
Breaking down the impressive figures by affiliate, Mirae Asset Securities played a pivotal role, accounting for approximately $531.3 billion in client assets. Mirae Asset Global Investments actively managed roughly $451.6 billion, showcasing its extensive reach and expertise. Furthermore, Mirae Asset Life Insurance and its other affiliates collectively held around $33.2 billion in assets as of the end of April, contributing to the group’s overall strength.
This trillion-dollar milestone reflects several years of accelerated and strategic growth. Client assets have consistently risen, climbing from $442.6 billion at the close of 2022 to $516.6 billion in 2023, reaching $601.7 billion in 2024, and further expanding to $769.5 billion by 2025. Notably, the remarkable increase recorded during the first five months of the current year has already outpaced the total growth achieved throughout the entirety of last year, signaling the group’s rapidly accelerating trajectory in the global financial landscape.
The foundation for this expansive growth is solid, with Mirae Asset’s equity capital standing at an impressive $17.5 billion as of the end of March. This represents an extraordinary 2,630-fold increase from its initial capital of $6.6 million when the company was founded in 1997, highlighting decades of sustained financial strength and strategic investment.
The group attributes its sustained success and unparalleled growth to a forward-thinking strategy that prioritized innovative investment products, including exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and robust retirement pension solutions. Its early focus on global asset allocation strategies, coupled with an aggressive and strategic expansion into key overseas markets, has been instrumental in securing this market leadership position.
Further exemplifying its global strategy, Mirae Asset Global Investments has emerged as the world’s 11th-largest ETF manager. It proudly oversees a staggering $284.2 billion in ETF assets globally. Both its prominent US subsidiary, Global X, and Korea’s leading Tiger ETF platform have each independently surpassed $100 billion in assets under management, solidifying their positions as major players in the global ETF market.
In a recent landmark achievement, Mirae Asset Securities became the first Korean brokerage to report a quarterly net profit exceeding 1 trillion won (approximately $660 million), demonstrating exceptional profitability. Its significant pension assets have also soared above $49.1 billion, allowing it to firmly maintain its status as the industry’s largest pension operator in Korea.
“Our unwavering commitment to the ‘Client First’ principle guides every aspect of our operations. We are dedicated to continuously providing our clients with differentiated and superior investment opportunities, leveraging the industry’s most extensive global network to achieve their financial goals,” a company official affirmed.
