Mirae Asset Global Investments Reselected as Top Lead Asset Manager for Pension Fund Investment Pool

Mirae Asset Global Investments announced on October 31 that it ranked first in the 'Pension Fund Investment Pool Lead Asset Manager Selection Evaluation' organized by the Ministry of Economy and Finance, and was selected as the lead asset manager for the second consecutive term.

On October 28, the Investment Pool Management Committee of the Ministry of Economy and Finance officially selected Mirae Asset Global Investments as the lead asset manager of the pension fund investment pool for four years from 2026 to 2029. Mirae Asset Global Investments received top marks in all qualitative evaluation categories, securing first place. The Ministry of Economy and Finance stated, "Mirae Asset Global Investments proposed improvements for the advancement of the investment pool system, such as actively expanding dedicated personnel, and achieved first place in multiple categories."

The pension fund investment pool is a system introduced by the Ministry of Economy and Finance in 2001 to enhance both profitability and stability by integrating the management of surplus funds from public funds and public institutions. Since 2021, Mirae Asset Global Investments has participated as the lead asset manager, contributing to the stable operation and development of the system through investment diversification, advanced risk management, expanded deposits from public institutions, and the establishment of education and advisory frameworks.

In February of this year, Mirae Asset Global Investments began performing various roles in line with the Ministry of Economy and Finance's direction for the 'Pension Fund Investment Pool System Reform Plan,' aiming for evolution into a 'public investment pool.' While upgrading services for pension funds, the company has also expanded the number of client institutions and deposit volumes through proactive marketing and advisory activities targeting public institutions and organizations affiliated with public officials. Additionally, by introducing the first-ever venture investment product for the investment pool and strengthening its lineup of alternative investment products such as overseas real estate and infrastructure, Mirae Asset Global Investments has broadened the investment options available to deposit institutions.

Looking ahead, Mirae Asset Global Investments plans to continue investing in strengthening its OCIO (Outsourced Chief Investment Officer) capabilities from a long-term perspective and to contribute to the development of the system and the expansion of the market as the lead asset manager of the pension fund investment pool.

Lee Byungseong, Executive Vice President and Head of Institutional Platform at Mirae Asset Global Investments, said, "Being reselected as the lead asset manager in first place is a recognition of our consistent innovation and contributions to the system over the past four years."

He added, "Mirae Asset Global Investments plans to go beyond being a simple asset management company and fully fulfill its role as a partner responsible for managing the surplus funds of deposit institutions. We will continue to strive to deliver higher expertise and performance as the dedicated operator of the pension fund investment pool."
