Mirae Asset Securities announced in its New Year’s address that it has defined 2026 as the first year of Mirae Asset 3.0 and will launch a mid- to long-term growth strategy centered on digital assets and artificial intelligence (AI).
“Mirae Asset Securities will secure sustainable growth by attempting a transition to a new financial order that includes digital assets, transcending the realm of traditional finance,” Mirae Asset Securities co-CEOs Kim Mi-seop and Heo Seon-ho stated in their New Year’s addresses on Jan. 2.
“We will make 2026 the starting point for the practical implementation of Mirae Asset 3.0.”
Reflecting on the past year, the two CEOs praised Mirae Asset Securities employees, saying, “Despite a challenging business environment, Mirae Asset Securities employees consistently practiced the ‘Customers Come First’ principle and remained faithful to the company’s fundamental role as an investment firm that contributes to customers’ long-term asset formation.”
As a result, Mirae Asset Securities’ profitability in all business divisions has improved across the board, including asset management, global businesses, investment banking, and trading.
Mirae Asset Securities expects its 2025 business performance to approach or exceed its record-breaking figures in 2021.
Mirae Asset Securities’ customer assets also ballooned by approximately 130 trillion won, further strengthening the stability and qualitative foundation of its profit structure.
Building on these achievements, the securities company presented four strategic directions — convergence of traditional and digital assets, expanding investment in innovation-powered companies, enhancing sustainable profit structures and strengthening customer-centric management and internal controls.
“Mirae Asset Securities will lead a paradigm shift in the global financial industry where traditional and digital assets are converging,” the two CEOs said.
They announced their commitment to gradually building infrastructures and systems that will serve as the foundation for digital asset business ecosystems.
The plan is to organically link the global Mobile Trading Service currently being developed by Mirae Asset Securities’ overseas subsidiaries with its digital asset trading platform, thereby supporting the company in expanding its financial ecosystems and managing global assets and tokenized digital assets more efficiently.
The advancement of AI was also highlighted as a key task according to them.
“Through AI technology, Mirae Asset Securities will support customers’ investment decisions more precisely and effectively from traditional assets to digital assets and strengthen its data-driven analysis capabilities to deliver differentiated experiences to customers,” they explained.
The co-CEOs did not forget to emphasize expanding investment in innovation-powered companies.
Building on their investment banking and private equity capabilities, they plan to provide financial solutions across the entire growth stage of companies.
They will also expand productive finance and venture capital services, focusing on key sectors that determine Korea’s competitiveness such as AI, semiconductors, and robotics.
“Mirae Asset Securities will leverage its global networks to expand investment opportunities and further enhance its risk management systems to establish a business structure that balances profitability and stability,” they added.
Kim and Heo added that they will prioritize improving customer performance, strengthening its AI-based asset management capabilities and upgrading its specialized management system for ultra-high-net-worth individuals in the wealth management and pension sectors.
Mirae Asset Securities’ trading, investment banking, and personal investment (IB) sectors will enhance profit and loss stability by refining operations, reviews and risk management. In the global business, the company plans to focus on finding and acquiring investment opportunities in key sectors.
The co-CEOs reiterated their commitment to placing top priority in the protection of financial consumers and customer information.
Mirae Asset Securities will beef up its preventative consumer protection system across all processes from product design to sales to after-sales services.
Furthermore, the company plans to enhance the effectiveness of its internal controls through steady AI-based anomaly detection and monitoring.
“The New Year of 2026 symbolizes our commitment to finding and seizing new possibilities by making new attempts and embracing changes,” they said.
“We will make 2026, the inaugural year of the Mirae Asset 3.0 era, a year of a meaningful leap forward.”
