Mirae Asset Securities said on Sunday it ranked No. 1 in the industry in defined contribution (DC) retirement pension reserves.

According to Financial Supervisory Service retirement pension disclosures, Mirae Asset Securities' DC reserves totalled about 16.3 trillion won as of the fourth quarter of 2025. That was up 1.5 trillion won from the previous quarter. It rose to No. 1 from No. 2 in the industry.

Annual growth was more pronounced. During 2025, 4.4159 trillion won flowed into Mirae Asset Securities, about 19.12 percent of total inflows into the overall DC market. As of the fourth quarter of 2024, its DC reserves stood at about 11.9 trillion won, placing it fourth.

Under the DC system, investment performance feeds into reserves, making an operator's investment capabilities and management system key competitiveness.

Mirae Asset Securities said its pension assets exceeded 60 trillion won as of Jan. 13. It said it provided pension clients with about 12 trillion won in gains as of the end of 2025.

A Mirae Asset Securities official said the result symbolically shows the retirement pension market's centre of gravity is shifting from savings-focused to investment-focused. The official said the company deeply recognises the weight of being No. 1 in DC reserves and will continue to upgrade its capabilities so client pensions can be managed stably over the long term.
