Mirae Asset Securities also provides sophisticated financial technology and data analytics for securities lending and prime brokerage clients.
Recent major developments include Mirae Asset Securities' strategic acquisition of Sharekhan, a top-tier Indian brokerage firm, completed in late 2023, significantly expanding its footprint in the rapidly growing Indian financial market with over 1.6 million retail customers. It has also broadened its global presence through acquisitions such as Global X in the U.S. and ETF Securities in Australia and opened an artificial intelligence business unit in New York to enhance its investment services with robo-advisory capabilities. The company remains independent of bank holding companies, enabling it to navigate regulatory environments while expanding its investment and brokerage services worldwide.
