Dechert LLP acted as legal counsel to Mirae Asset Global Investments, one of Asia's leading independent financial companies with approximately US $400 billion in assets under management, in connection with its entry into a definitive agreement to acquire Global X Management Company LLC, a New York-based sponsor of exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
The acquisition of Global X would add an anchor presence in the United States to Mirae Asset’s existing ETF businesses in Canada (Horizons), Australia (BetaShares) and Asia (Tiger ETF), creating one of the fastest growing ETF management companies in the industry with a truly global ETF footprint.
The Dechert team advising Mirae Asset was led by corporate partner Tony Chan and associates Erin Lett and Sam Burum with support from financial services partner Jeremy Senderowicz, tax partner Dan Dunn and associate George Davis, intellectual property partner Thomas Rayski, employee benefits partner David Jones and associate Young Lee, labor associate Jeffrey Rubin, and real estate special counsel Francois Quintard-Morenas.
