Mirae Asset Securities Rises to 13th Place in "Top 100 Brands in Korea" - The Asia Business Daily
Mirae Asset Securities announced on April 1 that it ranked 13th overall in the “2026 Korea Top 100 Brands,” marking an improvement of four places compared to last year.
The “Korea Top 100 Brands” is a certification system in which Brandstock, a brand value evaluation company, selects the top 100 brands across all industries active in Korea. The ranking is based on its proprietary evaluation model.
Since being listed among the Top 100 Brands following the launch of Mirae Asset Daewoo in 2016, Mirae Asset Securities has maintained steady upward momentum. Notably, last year it made its first entry into the top 10.
Mirae Asset Securities has established itself as a global investment specialist, operating the largest global network among domestic firms with a presence in 11 regions worldwide. As of the end of February this year, it manages approximately KRW 718 trillion in client assets (AUM) both domestically and internationally. The mobile trading system (MTS), M-STOCK, has been recognized for building a client-centric investment environment, ranking first among securities company apps in monthly active users (MAU) for three consecutive months since December 2025.
Additionally, it was selected as “Korea’s Best Securities House” for the second consecutive year at the “Euromoney Awards for Excellence 2025,” hosted by the global financial magazine Euromoney.
It became the first in Korea’s financial investment industry to be named “The World’s Most Innovative Private Bank” at the “Best Private Bank Awards 2026” hosted by the global financial magazine Global Finance. Furthermore, it was recognized as an excellent operator for four consecutive years—the first time across all sectors—at the “2025 Retirement Pension Provider Evaluation” supervised by the Ministry of Employment and Labor.
Currently, Mirae Asset Securities is building a next-generation financial ecosystem that integrates traditional and digital assets, based on its “Mirae Asset 3.0” vision. The company plans to provide diverse investment opportunities by establishing a global Web 3.0 infrastructure through a digital wallet that encompasses tokenization, digital assets, custody, and payments.
Beomseok Kim, Head of Communications at Mirae Asset Securities, stated, “Our 13th place ranking in the Korea Top 100 Brands is the result of the trust our clients have given us. Based on our Client First principle, we will strive to become a brand that grows alongside our clients in the long term.”
