Live YouTube Broadcast of "Visiting Happy Retirement Power Plant" on the 7th

[Asia Economy Reporter Minwoo Lee] Mirae Asset Retirement Research Institute will conduct a seminar on pension investment and exchange-traded funds (ETF) via YouTube live broadcast.

Mirae Asset Retirement Research Institute announced on the 1st that it will hold "Visiting Happy Retirement Power Plant" live on YouTube on the 7th. Originally planned to be held in person with an audience, it was decided to hold it online due to the impact of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

The theme of this seminar is "In the Zero Interest Rate Era, Pension and ETF Meet." Reflecting the recent trend of significant increase in ETF investment in retirement pensions or pension savings accounts, the seminar aims to correct the misconception that ETFs are short-term investment tools and to explore the advantages of ETFs from a long-term investment perspective such as retirement preparation. Practical issues that may arise when investing pension assets in ETFs will also be addressed.

Executive Director Sanggeon Lee of Mirae Asset Retirement Research Institute will deliver the keynote speech titled "What Should We Worry About in the Zero Interest Rate Era?" Following this, Seungwon Lee, Head of Global ETF Marketing at Mirae Asset Global Investments, will introduce ETFs available for pension investment, recent ETF investment trends, and strategies.

The seminar is scheduled to run for about 1 hour and 30 minutes starting at 7:30 PM. Since it is a live broadcast, a real-time Q&A session will also be provided. Applications can be made on the Mirae Asset Retirement Research Institute website. A product giveaway event is also underway for attendees. A representative of Mirae Asset Retirement Research Institute explained, "This seminar is the beginning of the lecture series 'Finding a New Path for Pension Investment in the Zero Interest Rate Era,' and three additional seminars are planned for the second half of the year."
