The kanji characters “Jiga Sakko” on this year’s cover represents a Japanese proverb that can be interpreted to mean, “Creating history to define the future.” Instead of fixating on how things were done in the past, this proverb encourages new approaches and
attempts to create what will become the next precedent.
Founded in Japan in 1999, the SBI Group has spent the last 20 years establishing the world’s first Internet-based financial ecosystem that undertakes a broad range of financial services, including securities, banking and insurance (Financial Services Business), investing in and incubating startup companies (Asset Management Business), and undertaking the R&D and
manufacturing of pharmaceuticals and health foods (Biotechnology-related Business),
while pursuing the concept of creating the future, as the proverb implies.
Even if it is difficult to predict what the future will bring, we still possess the ability to shape it.
The SBI Group will continue to take on new challenges as part of moving even closer to the future that we envision.
