Established in 1999 as a pioneer of Internet-based financial services in Japan, the SBI Group has achieved rapid growth by recognizing the significance of two key trends, the diffusion and evolution of the Internet and financial deregulation. Today, the SBI Group has formed the world’s first Internet-based financial conglomerate in the Financial Services Business, providing financial services in a wide range of categories, including securities, banking and insurance. Additionally, along with the Asset Management Business, where investments in venture companies has been principally involved since before the establishment of the Group, it entered into the Biotechnology-related Business, as a third business domain for further evolution and growth.
In this dramatic growth phase, the SBI Group will endeavor to further strengthen its customer base that was established in Japan, while also utilizing its unique business models to expand into the overseas markets, especially in the emerging countries of Asia. Also, the Group will strive to achieve a sustained expansion of its corporate value by building a global business structure.
