Mirae Asset Global Investments announced on December 11 that the cumulative net purchases by individual investors of its two leading "TIGER U.S. Benchmark Index ETFs," which are driving the U.S. investment ETF market, have surpassed 4 trillion won this year.

According to the Korea Exchange, as of December 10, the cumulative net purchases by individual investors of the TIGER U.S. S&P500 ETF since the beginning of the year reached 3.0554 trillion won.

The combined cumulative net purchases by individuals for these two ETFs have exceeded 4 trillion won, marking the largest scale among similar funds listed domestically during the same period.

As the "U.S. benchmark index + long-term diversification investment" strategy has become a central pillar for asset building among domestic investors, the U.S. stock market has recently shown an upward trend amid expectations for a year-end Santa Rally. Interest in the TIGER U.S. Benchmark Index ETFs is also growing. In pension accounts, the TIGER U.S. Benchmark Index ETFs have consistently delivered strong performance based on stability and growth potential, driving the growth of the overseas index ETF market in Korea.

The two TIGER U.S. Benchmark Index ETFs are expanding their influence beyond Korea to the global market. As of December 10, the net asset value of the TIGER U.S. S&P500 ETF stood at approximately 12.2 trillion won, while the TIGER U.S. Nasdaq100 ETF reached about 7.3 trillion won. Each represents the largest scale among ETFs tracking these indices listed in Asia.

Kim Namho, Head of Global ETF Management at Mirae Asset Global Investments, stated, "With the recent environment of anticipated interest rate cuts and the ongoing Santa Rally in the U.S. stock market, domestic investors’ confidence in the long-term upward trend of the U.S. market remains strong." He added, "We will do our utmost to ensure that the TIGER U.S. Benchmark Index ETFs, the largest in Asia, maintain their status as the 'national ETF.'"
