Mirae Asset Global Investments Chief Officer Nathan Nam-ki Kim speaks at a press conference held at the Mirae Asset Center 1 building in central Seoul, Tuesday. (Mirae Asset Global Investments) Mirae Asset Global Investments said Tuesday it will focus on attracting overseas investors through its launch of single-stock leveraged products tied to Samsung Electronics and SK hynix.The asset manager will list two Tiger-branded leveraged products on Wednesday on the Korea Exchange, each designed to track twice the daily performance of Samsung Electronics and SK hynix shares.The products attracted a combined 1.34 trillion won ($890 million) in assets under management ahead of launch, including 747 billion won tied to SK hynix and 592 billion won linked to Samsung Electronics.“The original purpose behind introducing single-stock leveraged products was to help stabilize the won-dollar exchange rate,” Nathan Nam-ki Kim, chief officer overseeing ETF portfolio management at Mirae Asset, said during a press conference in Seoul.“Through these products, we have secured foreign inflows, which could meaningfully support the exchange rate,” he said.Earlier this year, Korean regulators approved single-stock leveraged products as authorities sought to curb capital outflows into US-listed leveraged ETFs amid persistent pressure on the won.Mirae Asset highlighted foreign participation as a key advantage for its products. Overseas investors accounted for 329 billion won, or roughly a quarter of the products’ prelaunch assets.“Some global ETF traders are entering the Korean market for the first time,” Kim said.Although its initial asset base and market-making network remain smaller than those of rival Samsung Asset Management, Mirae Asset said its cash-only redemption structure could improve trading efficiency.Unlike in-kind settlement systems that require transfers of underlying shares, the cash-based model allows faster and more flexible redemption flows, which the company said could help narrow bid-ask spreads.Kim added that the firm sees overseas leveraged products — rather than domestic rivals — as its main competition, citing a Hong Kong-listed leveraged product from CSOP Asset Management tied to SK hynix.
