Mirae Asset Hosts 'ETF Rally 2025' Exploring Global Vision and Innovation Directions

Mirae Asset Global Investments announced on the 10th that it held the ‘ETF Rally 2025’ at the Fairmont Hawaii Hotel in the United States from the 3rd to the 4th local time.

The ‘ETF Rally’ is an event where key executives of Mirae Asset Global Investments’ ETFs operating worldwide gather in one place to share the current status of the global ETF business and explore directions for development. As of the end of last year, the total net assets of ETFs managed by Mirae Asset Global Investments in the United States, Canada, Australia, India, Japan, and other countries around the world reached 202 trillion KRW.

About 80 key executives from overseas subsidiaries, including CEOs and those in charge of management, products, and marketing of ETFs, attended the ETF Rally to introduce each subsidiary’s strategy for this year and seek ways to innovate the ETF business.

Hyun-Joo Park, Chairman and Global Strategy Officer (GSO) of Mirae Asset Group, emphasized the importance of differentiated products that can change the market, so-called ‘Killer Products.’ Chairman Park said, "We must focus on creating competitive products that can bring innovation to the market that did not exist before." As part of this, the group’s first AI-based product, ‘Global X Investment Grade Corporate Bond Active,’ developed through collaboration between the U.S. ‘Global X’ and the AI subsidiary ‘WealthSpot,’ will be launched in the U.S. market in the first half of this year.

Chairman Park urged the introduction of various products that invest not only in the domestic market but also in global markets such as the U.S. and China. He said, "In the Korean ETF market, TIGER ETFs have grown by offering products that invest in the U.S. conveniently and efficiently," adding, "All affiliates should focus on competitive markets such as the U.S. and China to explore diverse investment opportunities and enable local investors to experience global products."

The ETF Rally provided an opportunity to enhance the brand value of Mirae Asset’s global ETFs, create synergy within the group, and strengthen Mirae Asset’s competitiveness as a global asset manager. Collaboration plans with GHCO, Mirae Asset Securities’ overseas subsidiaries and Market Making company, were explored. The status of AI and digital transformation projects by each subsidiary was shared, and the direction for future platforms was discussed.

Since 2011, Mirae Asset Group Chairman Hyun-Joo Park has actively pursued M&A to expand the global ETF business, starting with the Canadian ETF manager ‘Horizon ETFs,’ acquiring the U.S. ‘Global X,’ and Australia’s ‘ETF Securities.’ The group has also fully entered the ETF business incorporating AI investment strategies and advisory services through acquisitions of Australia’s Stockspot and the establishment of the U.S. WealthSpot.

Young-Hwan Kim, CEO of the Innovation/Global Management Division at Mirae Asset Global Investments, said, "The ETF Rally is a meaningful event where Mirae Asset’s ETF experts share expertise and discuss ideas to take a step forward in the global financial market." He added, "It was even more meaningful as new leaders who recently joined each subsidiary participated to share the vision and prepare for a new leap."
