Mirae Asset Securities announced Friday that it has signed an MOU with the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) to enhance its AI-powered wealth management services.

The agreement was reached during LSEG Group CEO David Schwimmer's first visit to South Korea. The two companies plan to combine LSEG's global financial data with Mirae Asset Securities' investment platform and research capabilities, helping customers make investment decisions based on accurate information.

Headquartered in London, LSEG is a global financial data company operating across a range of businesses: Data & Analytics, FTSE Russell, Risk Intelligence, markets (the London Stock Exchange), and post-trade services including a global clearing house for interest rate swaps and other instruments.

Mirae Asset Securities will collaborate specifically with LSEG's Data & Analytics division, which handles financial data supply and AI service integration.

Under its "Mirae Asset 3.0" vision — which combines traditional assets, digital assets and AI — Mirae Asset Securities is pursuing a digital transformation of its wealth management services, centered on its global investment platform MAPS. As part of that effort, the firm is expanding AI-driven investment information and strengthening its ability to support customers' investment decisions from a portfolio perspective. Its ultimate goal is to realize "Agentic Wealth Management" (Agentic WM), a model in which AI assists customers throughout the entire asset management process.

Ryu Hirayama, LSEG's head of Japan and Korea, said Mirae Asset Securities is a leading global financial investment firm in Asia that is actively integrating AI into wealth management. "We will work together to explore how LSEG's trusted data can contribute to the investment experience of Mirae Asset Securities' customers," Hirayama said.

Joo Se-min, head of the Tech & AI division at Mirae Asset Securities, said securing and leveraging reliable data is critical to strengthening the competitiveness of AI wealth management services. "Through our cooperation with LSEG, a global financial data company, we will seek ways to advance our AI wealth management services," Joo said.

Mirae Asset Securities is among the most globally active Korean brokerages. Most recently, it held the final round and awards ceremony of "Global AI Festival 2026," an AI competition for university students, in Shenzhen, China. Co-hosted with Alibaba Cloud and supported by the Shenzhen Qianhai Authority, the event drew 100 teams from China and Hong Kong. First place went to "FindAlpha," a team from Peking University's HSBC Business School, while second place was shared by "Hagard," a joint team from universities in Hong Kong, and "Future Lens" from New York University's Shanghai campus.
