Safeguarding the future

Mirae Asset Global Investments was established in Korea in 1997 amid the turmoil of the Asian financial crisis.

Founder and Chairman Hyeon-Joo Park realized at the time that no Korean asset manager was truly independent of the government or the powerful business groups. He foresaw the need for an asset manager that could conduct business in a transparent and financially responsible manner.

Mirae Asset Financial Group soon prospered by introducing clients to innovative investment products that met their specific needs.

Today, Mirae Asset Financial Group continues to flourish in Asia. We are determined to bring the principles behind our success to bear to assist investors around the world.
