SBI Securities Co., Ltd.
SBI Securities Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo, President & CEO: Masato Takamura, hereinafter referred to as 'the Company') would like to inform you that our assets under custody exceeded JPY 40 trillion at the end of May 2024. The balance had reached JPY 20 trillion (at the end of June 2021,) and JPY 30 trillion (at the end of July 2023) within approximately two years after reaching the JPY 20 trillion mark, and then exceeded JPY 40 trillion just 10 months later. In terms of the product structure, operating income of JPY 401 million, JPY 12.88 billion, and JPY 60 million was generated from products worth JPY 100-300 billion, respectively.
Since the start of online trading services in 1999, SBI Securities has been a pioneer in internet securities in Japan, striving to provide high-quality service at the lowest industry commission rates, based on the management philosophy of 'customer first.' The company has been able to establish its position as the No.1 net securities company※1 in Japan, supported by individual investors' tremendous support for a massive reduction in commission rates in 2001. Not only the assets under custody but also the number of accounts and commission income related to stock commission orders have increased substantially.
In 2023, we implemented the 'Zero Revolution' initiative, which not only eliminates domestic stock trading commissions but also eliminates commission fees for trading U.S individual stocks (including ADR), overseas ETFs (U.S., China, South Korea, Singapore), and exchange rate-related fees for real-time exchange of U.S. dollars/Japanese yen under the new NISA program. We have dramatically lowered the barriers to investment for our customers trading online. In addition to reducing costs, we offer a broad range of products and services that satisfy a wide range of customers from beginners to experienced investors, such as investment trust management 'SBI Wrap' service, over-the-counter trading of individual stock options 'SBI stock options,' and 'Starting Credit' reduced-risk credit trading services.
The reason why the assets under custody exceeded JPY 40 trillion this time is attributed to the increase in customers, especially those in their 20s and 30s, due to the implementation of the 'Zero Revolution' initiative, and the high evaluation of various services by our customers.
In the future, based on 'customer first' philosophy, SBI Securities will continue to improve our services such as expanding the service of online trading and improving the UI/UX of various trading tools, and support customers' asset formation. As an online comprehensive securities firm, we will also push for the expansion of retail business by utilizing channels other than the internet, such as the sales networks of financial product intermediary firms (IFA) and customer service centers, and promoting an open alliance strategy. Moreover, we will further strengthen our wholesale business by using our functions both in and out of the group.
