Mirae Asset Venture Investment may become the leader in artificial intelligence (AI) investment for the Lee Jae-myung government, according to projections from the securities industry. On the morning of the 9th, the stock price showed strength.
As of 9:34 a.m. that day, Mirae Asset Venture Investment was trading at 7,460 won, up 1,110 won (17.48%) from the previous trading day. The stock rose to 7,610 won early in the session, breaking its highest price in a year.
The positive performance outlook for Mirae Asset Venture Investment from securities firms is believed to have stimulated investor sentiment.
iM Securities suggested that, with the new government highlighting the role of AI investments, Mirae Asset Venture Investment could be the biggest beneficiary. The Lee Jae-myung government has proposed measures to expand venture investments, including allowing retirement pension investments in venture capital and encouraging contributions from national pension funds, aiming to foster a venture investment market worth 40 trillion won annually.
Lee Sang-hun, a researcher at iM Securities, said, "Especially, the retirement pension reserves reached 431.7 trillion won as of the end of last year, and if venture investments are allowed, significant funds could flow into venture companies, with major venture capitalists like Mirae Asset expected to benefit."
Furthermore, the researcher noted, "Considering that the Lee Jae-myung government proposed a plan for 100 trillion won in AI investment, Mirae Asset Venture Investment has a high possibility of being selected as a general partner for various fund operations based on its AI value chain investment records."
