SBI Securities Announces Investment Trust Assets Under Management Exceeding 30 Trillion Yen

SBI SECURITIES Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President: Masato Takamura; hereinafter 'the Company') announces that its investment trust assets under management* exceeded 30 trillion yen as of the end of May 2026.

Triggered by the new NISA launched in 2024, customers' interest in long-term, accumulated, and diversified investment utilizing investment trusts has further increased. The Company's investment trust AUM, which surpassed 20 trillion yen at the end of July 2025, has continued to expand steadily backed by the support of many customers, reaching a new milestone of 30 trillion yen.

We believe that reaching the 30 trillion yen milestone in investment trust AUM is the result of many customers supporting our various initiatives that improve the convenience of purchasing, holding, and selling investment trusts. This includes not only the growing need for asset building utilizing NISA but also our continuous efforts to expand our product lineup, develop a service foundation that makes it easy to continue accumulation investment, and respond to withdrawal needs after asset building.

Under our management philosophy of 'Customer-centricity,' the Company will continue striving to provide the 'industry's highest standard of service at the industry's lowest standard of commissions.' Through the further expansion of products, services, and functions, we will fully support the asset building and utilization of each individual customer.

* Total balance of investment trusts handled by the Company (including MRF, foreign currency-denominated MMF, ETF, REIT, foreign-domiciled investment trusts, and wrap-exclusive funds).
