Mirae Asset Global Investments announced on December 4 that the “Mirae Asset Core Tech Fund,” which invests in leading domestic IT sectors such as semiconductors and secondary batteries, has surpassed 1 trillion won in net assets. In just over six years since its inception, the fund has become a “giant fund” with assets of 1 trillion won, demonstrating a unique presence in the stagnant public offering fund market.


According to Korea Partners, as of December 3, the net assets of the “Mirae Asset Core Tech Fund” stood at approximately 1.009 trillion won. In particular, in stark contrast to the overall contraction of the public offering fund market, more than 240 billion won in large-scale capital inflows have been recorded since October. Unlike typical thematic funds, which often see frequent capital inflows and outflows depending on short-term trends, the fund’s consistent performance and clear investment philosophy centered on global growth industries have driven steady inflows. This also indicates that investment demand for domestic and global growth themes remains strong.


The Mirae Asset Core Tech Fund is a fund that focuses on leading IT and growth companies driving technological innovation in Korea. It invests in industries such as artificial intelligence (AI), semiconductors, secondary batteries, and internet/software. Its major holdings include Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, ISU Petasys, Daeduck Electronics, and Hyosung Heavy Industries-companies positioned to benefit from future technology trends in AI semiconductors, materials, components, equipment, and power devices. The fund prioritizes long-term growth over short-term volatility and employs a flexible rebalancing strategy by referencing the KOSPI index instead of a fixed benchmark, allowing it to adapt to market conditions.


Recognized as a leading “fund house” in Korea, Mirae Asset Global Investments has built differentiated competitiveness in the public offering fund market based on its deep understanding of global growth companies and innovative industries. The company established a Global Research Center to develop the capability for in-depth analysis of global tech and platform companies. In addition to the “Mirae Asset Core Tech Fund,” it has expanded investment opportunities in global growth stocks by launching products such as Asia Tech, China Core Tech, and Korea Tech Active ETFs.


Ku Yongdeok, Head of Equity Investment at Mirae Asset Global Investments, explained, “Although the public active fund market is somewhat stagnant, the phenomenon of ‘selection and concentration’ is becoming more pronounced, with capital flowing into growth-themed products that accurately reflect investor demand.”



He added, “Surpassing 1 trillion won in assets for the Core Tech Fund is a symbolic achievement that demonstrates the ongoing demand for public active funds. Moving forward, we plan to launch innovative products that can meet the diverse needs of investors.”
