Discussing the 'Digital Finance Paradigm'... Mirae Asset Hosts Master PB Invitation Forum

Mirae Asset Global Investments announced on December 4 that it successfully held the 'Master PB Invitation Forum' at the Four Seasons Hotel in Seoul.

The forum, held on December 3, was organized under the theme "An Era Where the Right Answer Changes: Digitalization of Finance" to share insights on global digital finance trends, structural changes in the high-net-worth market, and the evolving directions of wealth management strategies in response.

Lee Junyong, Vice Chairman of Mirae Asset Global Investments, stated in his welcoming remarks, "Mirae Asset has pioneered new horizons in the Korean asset management industry, from launching the first mutual fund in Korea to pioneering global investments, and introducing TDFs and thematic ETFs." He added, "Now, we will move beyond mass-market-focused business to make the high-net-worth segment a core growth driver, and provide differentiated premium wealth management solutions."

In the first session, Kim Jongseung, CEO of xCrypton, and Kim Yongil, Asia Regional Head of AVA Labs, spoke as guest speakers, introducing the digital transformation of the global financial market and successful overseas PWM cases. They presented platform-based wealth management models and the future direction of asset management.

The second session featured Park Kubin, Head of Investment & Product Division at Mirae Asset Global Investments, and Lee Yongjae, Head of Digital Asset Industry Division at Mirae Asset Securities, who discussed the changing environment of the domestic financial product market and PB response strategies, emphasizing the importance of tailored strategies for high-net-worth clients.

Recently, the asset management market has been reorganizing into a "dual structure," with the expansion of mass investment centered on ETFs and the growing significance of the high-net-worth segment. High-net-worth clients are more sensitive to downside risks and tax issues than general investors, and there is strong demand for long-term asset allocation and portfolio diversification. As a result, the expertise and customized wealth management capabilities of PBs are emerging as key competitive advantages.

To respond to these market changes, Mirae Asset Global Investments established the 'PWM Division' earlier this year and is actively building a dedicated product lineup for high-net-worth clients. Through differentiated offerings such as the 'Top Tier Selection·Premier Selection Series'-which selectively invests in leading domestic private equity funds-multi-manager structured multi-core private equity funds, and indirect investment products linked to global asset managers like Hamilton Lane and Ares, including private debt and secondary PE strategies, the company is strengthening its competitiveness.

Kim Younghwan, Head of Global Business at Mirae Asset Global Investments, stated, "High-net-worth clients are showing investment perspectives and needs similar to those of institutional investors." He continued, "We will expand the investment capabilities and global networks accumulated through institutional investment to the high-net-worth market, and build a differentiated PWM business model in the trend of financial asset digitalization."
