[Alpha Biz= Paul Lee] Mirae Asset Group is exploring a plan to participate directly in the anticipated IPO of SpaceX and allocate a portion of the shares to domestic investors in South Korea.
According to industry sources on April 5, Mirae Asset—an existing shareholder of SpaceX—has begun legal reviews on a structure that would allow it to secure IPO allocations and subsequently distribute them to Korean investors. The IPO is reportedly being targeted for June, though details remain subject to change.
A senior Mirae Asset official stated that the firm is initially considering offering access to high-net-worth individual investors, specifically those classified as professional investors with an average account balance of at least KRW 50 million, through Mirae Asset brokerage accounts.
To support this plan, Mirae Asset is actively working to secure a portion of the SpaceX IPO allocation. However, participation by general retail investors remains uncertain, as additional legal review and potential consultations with the Financial Supervisory Service may be required.
