Mirae Asset Global X Surpasses 100 Trillion Won in U.S. Assets Under Management

Mirae Asset Global Investments announced on October 16 that the U.S. assets under management (AUM) of its exchange-traded fund (ETF) subsidiary, Global X, have surpassed 100 trillion won. Since its acquisition in 2018, the net asset size has grown thirteenfold in about seven years, establishing the company as a global ETF manager in the world's largest ETF market, the United States.

As of October 15, Global X manages 101 ETFs in the U.S. market. Its total assets under management amount to 73.5 billion dollars (equivalent to 104.993 trillion won). When Mirae Asset Global Investments acquired Global X in 2018, its AUM stood at around 10 billion dollars (about 8 trillion won), but this steadily increased to 42.4 billion dollars at the end of 2023 and 53.9 billion dollars at the end of 2024. Over the past five years, Global X recorded an average annual growth rate of 37.7 percent, significantly outpacing the U.S. ETF market’s average annual growth rate of 20.2 percent during the same period.

Global X is recognized by U.S. investors as an "innovative ETF leader" thanks to its differentiated product lineup. Its flagship product, "Global X Defense Tech (SHLD US)," has delivered outstanding returns compared to competing products by strengthening geopolitical diversification through increased exposure to European defense companies and including next-generation defense stocks based on artificial intelligence. "Artificial Intelligence & Technology (AIQ US)" has attracted attention as a portfolio investing in companies across the entire AI ecosystem, including AI software and big data, drawing over 2.8 billion dollars in inflows this year alone.

Global X’s innovation continues in 2025. In June, it launched the "Global X Bitcoin Covered Call (BCCC US)," a Bitcoin covered call ETF, and the "Global X Investment Grade Corporate Bond (GXIG US)," a bond-type ETF based on AI models, introducing new investment solutions that combine digital assets and AI technology. The newly listed "AI Semiconductor & Quantum (CHPX US)" at the beginning of this month has also attracted strong interest from global investors in the AI semiconductor and quantum computing industries.

Mirae Asset ETFs are attracting attention from global investors, not just those in the United States. As of the end of September, the total net assets of ETFs managed by Mirae Asset Global Investments across Korea, the United States, Canada, Australia, India, Japan, and other markets reached 262 trillion won. This figure surpasses the entire domestic ETF market (about 250 trillion won) and ranks the company as the twelfth largest global ETF manager.

Kim Younghwan, Head of Innovation and Global Management at Mirae Asset Global Investments, stated, "Based on our extensive global network, Mirae Asset Global Investments is strengthening its competitiveness not only in the U.S., the world’s largest ETF market, but also in the global ETF market." He added, "We will continue to provide innovative ETF solutions to global investors and strive to take another leap forward as a global ETF manager."
