Mirae Asset has denied that a communication error was responsible for its failure to secure an allocation in SpaceX’s initial public offering.
The South Korean asset manager’s statement directly contradicts earlier reports that attributed the miss to an internal breakdown during the subscription process.
The denial comes after Bloomberg reported that Mirae Asset was excluded from the SpaceX IPO due to a communications failure.

The incident had drawn attention as a rare example of operational friction in one of the most anticipated listings in recent years, underscoring the fierce competition among institutional investors for shares in the aerospace giant.
Mirae Asset’s clarification suggests the exclusion may have stemmed from other factors, such as allocation criteria or strategic decisions by the underwriters, rather than a technical or procedural error on the firm’s part.
For investors, the distinction matters: a communication error implies a fixable operational lapse, while a strategic exclusion could signal tighter access controls for future high-profile deals.
