Additional information

Proportion of AUM committed:

The current proportion of AUM in-scope of net zero targets includes our mutual funds like our UCITS products which we have direct investment discretion. We determined this initial % based on ourĀ  actively-managed products which are ESG funds which are expected to meet the most stringent ESG investing standards within the firm. We will reassess this scope annually and aim to ratchet upward to include other active investments such as our Korean-domiciled funds and active ETFs if possible. Other products like passive, fixed income and sovereign ETF are excluded for now due to data challenges and limited investment discretion. We will proactively work with Mirae Asset Headquarters and other offices to review readiness for setting Group level net zero targets.

Policy on coal and other fossil fuel investments:

Please refer to the ESG Restrictive List section (and relevant Annexes) for details on exclusions on coal and other fossil fuel investments in our Policy on Responsible Investments. Investment restrictions on thermal coal mining and unconventional oil & gas apply to approximately 28% of AUM (all SICAV funds managed by Hong Kong office), as of March 2023.

Further information:

Detailed public disclosures on our net zero targets are planned to be published as part of the 2022 Responsible Investments Report (anticipated to be released before mid-2023).
