Mirae Asset Global Investments announced on January 6 that it will list the TIGER Korea Humanoid Robot Industry ETF (ticker: 0148J0) on the Korea Exchange.
The new ETF is designed to focus exclusively on the humanoid robot value chain. The fund plans to actively respond to market changes by allowing special inclusion of newly listed core companies as they emerge. Key holdings include Rainbow Robotics, Robotis, and SPG.
The listing is drawing attention ahead of CES 2026, where humanoid robots are expected to emerge as a central theme. Industry observers anticipate that major Korean companies will unveil mass production and commercialization roadmaps at the event. Interest in Korea’s humanoid robot ecosystem is also rising around the government-led Humanoid M.AX Alliance spearheaded by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy.
Jeong Ui-hyun, head of ETF management at Mirae Asset Global Investments, said humanoid robots represent a core industry in the era of physical AI, where artificial intelligence converges with physical form. He added that Korea possesses full-stack competitiveness spanning components to software, and that the TIGER Korea Humanoid Robot Industry ETF offers investors a direct way to capture the growth potential of the country’s robotics industry.
