Mirae Asset Global Investments said Monday that it hosted the “ETF Rally 2025” in Hawaii earlier this month, bringing together key executives to discuss strategies and achievements in the global exchange-traded fund market.
As of late 2024, the company’s total global ETF net assets reached 202 trillion won ($138 billion) across major markets, including the US, Canada, Australia, India and Japan. The conference gathered 80 company officials, including CEOs from overseas subsidiaries, who shared their strategic plans for the year and explored potential innovations in the industry.
Mirae Asset Group Chairman Park Hyeon-joo, who doubles as the company’s global strategy officer, underscored the importance of developing “Killer Products” -- unique, competitive offerings that can drive market innovation.
As part of this initiative, the company’s US subsidiary, Global X, along with its AI unit, Wealthspot, is set to launch the first artificial intelligence-driven investment product in the first half of this year.
Park also emphasized the need to introduce a diverse range of globally focused investment products. “Exploring opportunities in markets like the US and China is crucial to providing local investors with access to global financial products,” he said.
The event also featured discussions on collaboration with overseas subsidiaries and GHCO, a market-making company, as well as updates on AI-driven digital transformation initiatives in different regions.
“The ETF Rally serves as a platform for Mirae Asset’s ETF experts to exchange insights and drive the next stage of growth in the global financial market,” said Kim Young-hwan, a manager at Mirae Asset Global Investments. “The involvement of new leadership across our overseas subsidiaries adds further significance to this gathering.”
