RQFII is a policy initiative from the Chinese mainland authorities which allows qualified holders to offer investment products that invest in China's A-share equity and fixed income markets in the local Renminbi currency. RQFII products give greater opportunities for retail and institutional investors to capitalize on the China growth story.

Mr. Jung Ho RHEE, Chief Executive Officer of Mirae Asset HK, says "We are delighted to be one of the first wholly-owned foreign asset managers to receive this opportunity from the CSRC to invest in China's onshore market. In addition to the QFII license approval, this marks another major milestone in our ability to offer more innovative products to all our valued clients and investors."

Mirae Asset HK is part of Mirae Asset Global Investments Group (the "Group"), one of the world's largest active investors in emerging market equities¹ with over US$58.9 billion of assets under management (as of 30 September 2013).
