Mirae Asset Global Investments said on the 17th it will hold an event to mark the 15th anniversary of the listing of the "TIGER U.S. Nasdaq 100 ETF," under the theme "15-year journey, completing the marathon of long-term investing."
The "TIGER U.S. Nasdaq 100" exchange-traded fund (ETF) is Korea's first U.S. investment ETF and was launched in 2010. At a time when individual investors faced restrictions on investing directly in overseas stocks, it is regarded as having made investing in U.S. stocks easy within the domestic ETF market.
According to Mirae Asset Global Investments, the product has maintained steady growth over 15 years, establishing itself as a symbol of long-term investing and a "Heritage ETF." With the Nasdaq 100 Index steadily trending upward, the per-share price, which was 10,000 won at listing, has now surpassed 150,000 won.
As of the previous day, the "TIGER U.S. Nasdaq 100 ETF" net worth stood at 6.1864 trillion won, the largest among U.S. Nasdaq 100 investment ETFs listed not only in Korea but also currently in Asia.
Mirae Asset Global Investments will hold an event with long-term investors to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the listing of the "TIGER U.S. Nasdaq 100" ETF.
Among investors who hold the ETF, the top 100 long-term investors based on the date of first purchase will receive various prizes. The first-place winner (the longest holder) will receive round-trip airfare to the United States for two, and others will receive innovative products from representative Nasdaq 100 corporations.
Seong Tae-gyeong, head of the ETF Pension Platform at Mirae Asset Global Investments, said, "The 'TIGER U.S. Nasdaq 100 ETF' is a representative case of long-term investing that has steadily grown over the past 15 years beyond market volatility, and we expect this to serve as an opportunity to shed new light on the value proven by time and the philosophy of long-term investing."
