TIGER ETF Surpasses 100 Trillion Won in Net Assets in 20 Years Since Launch... 'Industry's Fastest Record'

Mirae Asset Global Investments announced on January 7 that its domestic ETF brand, "TIGER ETF," has surpassed 100 trillion won in total net assets.

According to the Korea Exchange, as of the closing price on January 6, the combined net assets of 220 TIGER ETF products reached 100.3159 trillion won. Launched in June 2006, TIGER ETF celebrates its 20th anniversary this year. Since its inception, it has achieved 100 trillion won in net assets in the shortest period in the industry, reaching this milestone in just 20 years. After surpassing 50 trillion won in March 2024, its size doubled in about two years.

TIGER ETF has led the popularization of investment in the Korean ETF market through long-term investment and innovative growth themes, fueling rapid growth. In 2006, Mirae Asset Global Investments pioneered the thematic ETF market by launching "TIGER Semiconductor" and "TIGER Bank."

The flagship product, TIGER Semiconductor, posted a cumulative return of 892% as of January 6. It is regarded as a representative case of long-term investment in thematic products. "TIGER 200," which invests in Korea’s leading index, is also structured for long-term investment, backed by low fees and ample liquidity. Since its listing in April 2008, it has recorded a cumulative return of 296%. In addition, TIGER ETF has introduced thematic ETFs in emerging Korean industries such as humanoid robots, biotechnology, and aerospace.

Through products that track key domestic indices and core industries, TIGER ETF has improved individual investors’ access to domestic equities and contributed to the expansion of the Korean capital market base.

Mirae Asset Global Investments also demonstrates strength in overseas investments by leveraging its global ETF network across 13 regions worldwide. "TIGER US Nasdaq 100," Korea’s first ETF tracking a major US index, has achieved a cumulative return of 1,553% since listing. "TIGER US S&P 500" has surpassed 13 trillion won in net assets, making it the largest ETF among those listed in Korea. This product is widely used as a core investment vehicle for long-term investors through pension accounts.

TIGER ETF is not only leading diversification in asset portfolios, including domestic and international equities, gold, and bonds, but is also firmly established as a key tool for "global asset allocation." Currently, it manages 47.8 trillion won in domestic assets, 50.7 trillion won in overseas assets, and 1.8 trillion won in mixed domestic and international assets, maintaining a stable balance.

Last year, the launch of "TIGER KRX Gold Spot" resulted in a net purchase of 537.8 billion won by individual investors, ranking first among new products introduced in 2025. The company also listed "TIGER Total World Stock Active," Korea’s first ETF to provide diversified investment across global stock markets in a single product.

On the back of these achievements, TIGER ETF has solidified its position as the "ETF most widely held by individual investors." Its share of assets under management (AUM) held by individual investors is around 40%, and it has maintained the number one spot in individual investor market share for 50 consecutive months at the end of each month since November 2021.

Lee Junyong, Vice Chairman and CEO of Mirae Asset Global Investments, stated, "Surpassing 100 trillion won in net assets with TIGER ETF is thanks to the trust of investors who have believed in our philosophy of 'long-term pension investment and innovative growth' over the past 20 years. As the world’s 12th largest ETF manager, we will continue to develop innovative products and become a long-term investment partner helping investors achieve successful asset management."
