Mirae Asset Global Investments Chairman Hyeon Joo Park called for investors to allocate 25% of their portfolios across four key markets stocks, bonds, real estate, and alternatives private equity, hedge funds, infrastructure, commodities in a January 2026 keynote at the Asian Financial Forum in Hong Kong. Park argu ed that the traditional 60/40 stock-bond mix is no longer sufficient in an era of higher volatility, persistent inflation, elevated interest rates, and geopolitical fragmentation.
The chairman highlighted Mirae Asset’s own shift toward multi-asset and alternatives strategies, noting the firm’s rapid growth in private markets and real assets under management. He warned that over-reliance on public equities and long-duration bonds leaves portfolios vulnerable to simultaneous equity crashes and rising yields, a scenario that materialized in 2022 and could repeat.
Park’s 25% rule has resonated widely among Asian institutional investors and wealth managers seeking resilient allocation models amid uncertain macro conditions. Mirae Asset plans to launch new multi-asset products in 2026 aligned with this framework.
