In recent years Japan’s problems (declining birthrate, aging population, pension system, etc.) not only make you look anxious about your old age life but also suggest that you need to build even more assets. Efficient management of assets towards retirement assets formation is required, including young generation. The government has also begun to support the introduction of the personal type defined contribution pension (iDeCo) and the funded small investment tax exemption system (Tsumitate NISA), but about 60% of iDeCo is deposits and savings even today etc. It is the present situation that has stayed. The reasons are various, but I think that the majority of those who should pay attention do not understand the essence of equity investment. Although the stock market will move up and down repeatedly, we believe that if we tolerate that risk and continue long-term investment, we will achieve high investment results as a result. In order to survive these problems, we will set up goal for asset management for each customer and will make investment advice over the medium to long term. We will also create and propose a management plan for the future for the young generation. We believe that our mission is to make our customers, our company and the future of Japan brighter.
