Mirae Asset Securities noted that as of the 21st of this month, the funds transferred to its individual pension accounts (defined contribution plans, individual retirement plans, and personal pensions) since the retirement pension transfer system was implemented on Oct. 31 last year amounted to 1.1563 trillion won.
Mirae Asset Securities observed that the movement of personal pension accounts not included in the transfer target is also on the rise, explaining that this reflects an increased interest in expanding pension assets and enhancing revenue through investments.
According to the Financial Supervisory Service's retirement pension announcement, as of the end of the fourth quarter of 2024, the one-year revenue rates of Mirae Asset Securities' non-guaranteed products for defined contribution plans and individual retirement plans were 12.17% and 12.48%, respectively, ranking first in the industry.
Mirae Asset Securities analyzed that pensions, which were previously regarded as merely savings tools, have now transformed into asset management instruments actively responding to prolonged old age and inflation, with investors increasingly selecting financial institutions that offer revenue and asset management capabilities.
Jeong Hyo-young, head of the pension consulting division at Mirae Asset Securities, stated, "Since the introduction of the transfer system, the flow of pension assets is changing more dynamically," adding, "We will spare no effort in supporting pension clients to prepare for successful asset management and stable retirement."
