SEOUL, June 29 (UPI) -- South Korea's Mirae Asset Securities said Monday that it launched a global investment platform in Hong Kong on Friday to draw overseas retail investors.
The Seoul-based brokerage noted that Mirae Asset Portfolio Service, or MAPS, is designed to enable investors to trade conventional and digital assets in one place through their mobile devices.
As part of its global expansion strategy, Mirae Asset Securities has developed mobile trading platforms tailored to individual markets, including South Korea, India, Indonesia, and Vietnam.
The company said that MAPS integrates all those country-specific platforms into a single ecosystem, with Hong Kong serving as the initial testbed because of its status as Asia's financial hub.
