Mirae Asset Securities has introduced Mirae Asset Portfolio Service (MAPS) in Hong Kong, giving users a single mobile platform for trading both conventional financial instruments and digital assets.
The launch marks the first offering under the brokerage’s “Mirae Asset 3.0” strategy.
Go deeper with GlobalData
Access deeper industry intelligence
Experience unmatched clarity with a single platform that combines unique data, AI, and human expertise.
It also brings together the company’s separate country-based mobile trading services within one global system.
Based on Mirae Asset’s mobile trading operations in Korea, India, Indonesia and Vietnam, the app is designed to let investors use one platform to reach products and exchanges in several markets.
The firm selected Hong Kong for the initial rollout because of the city’s role as a regional financial centre and changes in its digital asset rules.
In April, Mirae Asset’s Hong Kong business obtained final clearance from the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission to provide digital asset trading services to retail clients.
Mirae Asset Securities intends to extend MAPS to other major markets, including the US, Korea, Japan and Singapore.
The company also plans to add artificial intelligence-based wealth management tools and, at a later stage, enable overseas retail investors to trade Korean shares on the platform.
At the launch event, chairman Park Hyeon-joo said the Hong Kong release marked the beginning of the company’s next stage of overseas expansion and its first broad move into the city’s retail brokerage segment since setting up its Hong Kong securities business in 2007.
