Mirae Asset Securities’ London office has been recognized for its growing competitiveness in the global securities finance market, receiving the ‘New Securities Finance Team of the Year’ award at the 2026 Industry Excellence Awards hosted by Securities Finance Times.
Securities Finance Times is a leading global publication specializing in securities finance markets, including securities lending, repurchase agreements (repo), and collateral management. Its Industry Excellence Awards select outstanding companies and institutions across various categories through a rigorous evaluation process conducted by industry experts.
The ‘New Securities Finance Team of the Year’ award is presented to organizations that demonstrate strong business performance, innovation, and service capabilities in key securities finance areas such as securities lending, repo transactions, and collateral management.
Mirae Asset Securities’ London office competed against global financial institutions, including Buckler Securities in the United States and Japan Securities Finance Co., before being named the final winner.
The award reflects the successful expansion strategy pursued by the London office as it responded to changes in the global financial environment following the COVID-19 pandemic. The firm has diversified its business portfolio by strengthening its Sales & Trading (S&T) operations and securities finance capabilities, moving beyond its traditional investment-focused business model.
Since launching its securities finance business strategy in 2024, the London office has rapidly expanded its capabilities in securities lending, repo, and collateral management services. Despite entering the market relatively recently, the office has demonstrated strong business performance and specialized expertise, earning recognition from global market participants.
The achievement is also viewed as evidence of Mirae Asset Securities’ broader efforts to strengthen its global S&T business through an extensive international network. The London office serves as a key hub for providing securities finance solutions to institutional investors across Europe and plays an important role in enhancing the company’s global competitiveness.
Mirae Asset Securities plans to continue expanding its global business by developing services tailored to the characteristics of each regional financial market and the needs of institutional clients.
Kim Min-tae, CEO of Mirae Asset Securities London, said, “This award is meaningful recognition of our securities finance capabilities and the expertise of our employees in the global market. We will continue to pursue sustainable growth in the global securities finance industry by providing differentiated services and strengthening our competitiveness.”
