Mirae Asset Global Investments, the issuer founded in 1997 and headquartered at 12F, Tower 1, 33 Jong-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul, South Korea, is Asia's leading ETF provider with over $52.1 billion in TIGER ETF assets under management across 213 funds as of June 2025, spanning regional, global, sector, and thematic strategies including equities, commodities, bonds, and leveraged products. The firm, part of the Mirae Asset Financial Group managing over $729.5 billion in total group assets worldwide, operates in 19 global markets with 63 offices and 15,997 employees, offering complementary services such as ETF model portfolios and digital investment insights.
In recent developments, Mirae Asset Global Investments has pursued aggressive global expansion, including the October 2025 acquisition of ETF Securities Australia (A$4.7 billion AUM) in partnership with its U.S. subsidiary Global X ETFs to enhance thematic, commodities, and digital asset offerings in Australia, pushing total ETF AUM toward $85 billion. The firm continues to dominate Korea's ETF market, with TIGER ETFs achieving 4.06 trillion won in net retail purchases in the first half of 2025, led by U.S. S&P 500 and gold spot products, alongside renaming initiatives in April 2025 for several TIGER ETFs to improve intuitiveness, such as shifting to monthly dividends for bond funds and aligning names with evolving AI/metaverse exposures. These moves reflect Mirae Asset's strategic focus on innovation, low-cost liquidity, and AI-enhanced portfolios amid record AUM growth surpassing 300 trillion won globally by late 2025.
