HONOLULU – Mirae Asset Global Investment held its 'ETF Rally 2025' at the Fairmont Hawaii Hotel from March 3rd to 4th. The event brought together approximately 80 key ETF executives from around the world to discuss the current state of the global ETF business and explore future directions.

The rally featured presentations from overseas corporation CEOs and executives in various departments, including operations, product development, and marketing. Participants shared their respective corporate strategies for the year and engaged in discussions on how to drive innovation in the ETF sector.

As of the end of 2024, Mirae Asset Global Investment's total net assets under management in ETFs across the United States, Canada, Australia, India, Japan, and other countries reached 202 trillion won (approximately $152 billion USD).

Park Hyun-joo, Chairman and Global Strategy Officer (GSO) of Mirae Asset Group, emphasized the importance of developing "killer products" that can revolutionize the market. He stated, "We must concentrate on creating competitive products that can bring about market innovation that has never existed before."

In line with this vision, Mirae Asset Global Investment is set to launch its first AI-powered product, 'Global X Investment Grade Corporate Bond Active', in the US market during the first half of 2025. This product is a result of collaboration between the company's US subsidiary, Global X, and its AI-focused affiliate, Wealthspot.

Chairman Park also highlighted the success of TIGER ETF in the Korean market, which has provided investors with convenient and efficient access to US investments. He urged all affiliates to focus on competitive markets like the US and China, seize diverse investment opportunities, and enable local investors to experience global products.

Mirae Asset Global Investment has been actively pursuing mergers and acquisitions to expand its global ETF presence. Starting with the acquisition of Horizons ETFs (now Global X Canada) in 2011, the company has continued to acquire and establish entities such as Global X in the US, ETF Securities (now Global X Australia), Stockspot in Australia, and Wealthspot in the US. These strategic moves have allowed Mirae Asset Global Investment to diversify its ETF offerings and incorporate AI-driven investment strategies and advisory services.
