The firm is pledging to plow gains from high-profile investments in SpaceX and xAI into an ambitious program of overseas mergers and acquisitions, with profits being reinvested into global M&A.
Cyborg Score Rationale
Mirae Asset demonstrates exceptional growth momentum, doubling AUM over two years to $415 billion (May 2026), commanding a leading position in ETFs with 747 funds globally, and executing strategic M&A while leveraging AI and emerging asset classes like digital tokenization.
