Mirae Asset Securities said it designates this year as the inaugural year of 'Mirae Asset 3.0' and will fully activate a mid- to long-term growth strategy centered on digital assets and artificial intelligence (AI).
Kim Mi-seop·Heo Seon-ho, representatives of Mirae Asset Securities (co-vice chairmen and each serving as representative), said in a New Year's address on the 2nd, "By leading the transition to a new financial order that includes digital assets beyond the realm of traditional finance, we will secure a sustainable growth engine," and added, "We will regard 2026 as the starting point to materially realize Mirae Asset 3.0."
The two representatives reflected on last year, saying, "Despite a difficult management environment, we consistently practiced the 'Client First' principle and remained true to our role as an investment company that contributes to clients' long-term asset formation."
As a result, profitability across all business divisions—wealth management (WM), global, investment banking (IB), and trading—improved overall, and they said last year's results are expected to be close to or exceed the record high of 2021.
They emphasized that client assets also increased by about 130 trillion won or more, further strengthening the stability and qualitative foundation of the company's revenue structure. Based on these achievements, Mirae Asset Securities presented four strategic directions: the convergence of traditional and digital assets; expansion of investment in innovative growth companies; advancement of a sustainable revenue structure; and customer-centric management and reinforcement of internal controls.
The two representatives said, "We will lead the paradigm shift in the global financial industry where traditional assets and digital assets converge," and "We will progressively build the infrastructure and systems that form the foundation of the digital asset business ecosystem."
They plan to organically link the global mobile trading service (MTS) and digital asset trading platforms being promoted by overseas subsidiaries to expand Mirae Asset's financial ecosystem and support more efficient management of global assets and tokenized digital assets.
AI advancement was also presented as a core task. The two representatives said, "Through AI, we will support customers' investment decisions more precisely and effectively across traditional and digital assets, strengthen data-driven analytical capabilities, and provide differentiated customer experiences."
They also emphasized expanding investment in innovative growth companies. Based on IB and PI (principal investment) capabilities, they plan to provide financial solutions across companies' growth stages and expand the supply of productive finance and venture capital, focusing on key fields that determine national competitiveness such as AI, semiconductors, and robotics.
They explained, "Along with expanding investment opportunities using our global network, we will further sophisticate our risk management system to build a business structure that balances profitability and stability."
In the WM and pension sectors, they said, "We will prioritize improving client outcomes," and announced plans to strengthen AI-based asset management capabilities and to enhance specialized management systems for ultra-high-net-worth clients. The trading, IB, and PI divisions plan to improve profit and loss stability through refinement of operations, screening, and risk management, and in global business they will focus on discovering investment opportunities and acquisitions in core areas.
They reiterated that protecting financial consumers and customer information is the "top management value." They said they will strengthen a prevention-centered consumer protection system across the entire process from product design to sales and aftercare, and enhance the effectiveness of internal controls through AI-based anomaly detection and continuous monitoring.
