Mirae Asset Global Investments

Mirae Asset Global Investments

The firm functions as the international asset management arm of Mirae Asset Financial Group, operating directly in key markets and through its subsidiary Global X ETFs. It manages capital across traditional strategies — equities and fixed income — alongside alternatives that include private equity, venture capital, real estate, and infrastructure. The firm has disclosed a commitment to artificial intelligence and digital platforms as a growth vector, flagged in a March 2026 announcement about its expansion into financial innovation. Its real estate activity includes a March 2026 plan to develop the first JW Marriott Hotel in South Korea's Honam region at Gyeongdo, Yeosu. With more than 200 investment professionals and clients in over 50 countries, the firm has scaled beyond its Asian base. It maintains operational hubs in New York, London, Hong Kong, and Mumbai. In February 2026, the Global X Europe arm surpassed $8 billion in assets, a marker of the ETF strategy's traction in the world's second-largest market for those products. The parent group's TIGER ETF franchise anchors the domestic Korean market, while Global X has extended into Brazil, Canada, Colombia, and Japan. The firm's alternatives activity is stated but specific portfolio companies, fund sizes, and direct co-investment structures are not publicly detailed. Mirae Asset Global Investments separates itself structurally through its publicly listed parent, Mirae Asset Financial Group, and its integration of a specialized ETF brand across multiple continents. The dual-brand approach — Mirae Asset for traditional and alternatives capabilities, Global X for thematic and core ETF exposures — creates a retail-plus-institutional distribution funnel unusual among Asian-headquartered asset managers. The firm's geographic depth, with direct offices in 17 cities, supports local product registration and client coverage rather than a pure hub-and-spoke model.
