With corporate pension assets at 51.53 trillion won and individual pension assets at 28.58 trillion won, the company has maintained balanced growth across all pension asset segments, reaffirming its position as a leading domestic pension provider.
As demand from investors seeking to actively manage their pension assets has recently increased, the number of pension clients turning to MIRAE ASSET SECURITIES is also growing rapidly. It was reported that 430,000 new pension clients joined MIRAE ASSET SECURITIES this year alone.
According to the first-quarter disclosure of retirement pension reserves, the amount of retirement pension reserves flowing into MIRAE ASSET SECURITIES totaled 4.3426 trillion won, accounting for approximately 36% of the total market inflow (11.9 trillion won).
MIRAE ASSET SECURITIES directly confirmed the reasons behind this continuous growth in customers by listening to the voices of its subscribers. To commemorate becoming the industry leader in DC (Defined Contribution) fund assets, the company conducted a survey of all DC subscribers, with 34,002 respondents.
Fifty-six percent of respondents cited “brand trust as a specialized pension financial institution” as the primary reason for choosing MIRAE ASSET SECURITIES.

Recently, the company underwent organizational restructuring—including expanding the Pension Asset Management Center into a headquarters-level division and strengthening synergies with the Robo-Asset Management Team—to provide high-quality consulting to more clients.
Since its inception, MIRAE ASSET SECURITIES has consistently implemented an asset allocation strategy that diversifies investments across high-quality assets worldwide.

It has currently established a network across 21 regions worldwide, and its major overseas subsidiaries are consecutively setting new record performance figures. The company continues to expand its reach through initiatives such as the launch of a global mobile trading system (MTS) in the Hong Kong market and the pursuit of acquiring a U.S. securities firm.
