Mirae Asset Global

OUR PRINCIPLES ARE OUR PROMISE

Mirae Asset identifies the sustainable competitiveness of companies

At Mirae Asset we seek companies with specific qualities ­– such as a commanding market share, comparative advantages to competitors, a differentiated business model and high levels of transparency and corporate governance. We believe that the companies that exhibit these qualities will sustain their competitiveness and provide continuous and stable earnings growth. It is our long-held belief that share prices will, over time, converge with earnings growth and the subsequent cash flow.

Mirae Asset invests with a long-term perspective

A long-term perspective is key when determining sustainable competitiveness. Though share prices may be volatile over the short-term, long-term price movements are driven mainly by earnings growth. Investing in companies that are intrinsically competitive and generate stable cash flow is the essence of Mirae Asset’s long-term approach to investment.

Mirae Asset assesses investment risks with expected return

At Mirae Asset every investment risk is assessed with expected return. Valuations, liquidity and corporate governance are constantly monitored for their potential to inflict damage on long-term competitiveness. It is our aim to limit our exposure to such investment risk while our Risk Management Division constantly monitors whether our investments adhere to our investment principles.

Mirae Asset values a team-based approach to decision-making

Mirae Asset’s portfolio creation and successful investment management is achieved through a team-based approach to decision-making, with extensive discussion and a firm commitment to firmly adhere to our investment principles and process.
