Mirae Asset Securities Says No Decision Made on Japanese Brokerage Acquisition, Will Re-Disclose When Finalized

[Financial News] Mirae Asset Securities pushed back against reports that it is moving to acquire a Japanese brokerage, saying no decision has been finalized.
On the 27th, Mirae Asset Securities disclosed, "We are reviewing the acquisition of a Japanese brokerage independently of Toss Securities, but no specific details have been finalized so far," adding, "We plan to make a new disclosure when the matter is finalized or within one month."
The day before, reports said Mirae Asset Securities and Toss Securities were each considering the acquisition of three to four Japanese brokerages.
The plan centers on Mirae Asset Securities targeting Japan's market through asset management and global exchange-traded funds (ETFs), while Toss Securities aims to compete with its mobile platform.
