SuMi TRUST Holdings — Strengths
Competitive advantage derived from a hybrid model of banking and trust services
As a dedicated trust bank group capable of providing banking services as well as specialized trust-related services, we offer a myriad of services to our clients. The strengths of the Group originate from this hybrid business model—it enables us to solve the numerous issues faced by our clients and furnishes us with a stable earnings structure largely impervious to the interest rate environment.
Business Lineup
Operating the businesses required by individuals, corporations, and investors
Individual clients
Meticulously meeting the needs of each generation of clients.
As we draw closer to an era in which more people will likely live to the age of 100, the financial services sought by individual clients are growing increasingly diversified. To address such wide-ranging needs across different age groups—namely, asset formation for the future, asset administration during old age, and asset inheritance to the next generation—we provide optimum services by way of high-quality, comprehensive consulting unique to a financial group specialized in trust banking.
Providing value to corporate clients
Addressing not just financial needs, but also growing non-financial needs.
For corporate clients, tackling issues that drive company growth is an urgent matter. Such issues might include the enhancement of corporate governance or sustainability initiatives, rather than just typical financial matters. We deliver versatile and highly specialized solutions that only a financial group specialized in trust banking can provide based on the acquisition and analysis of non-financial information.
Providing value to investor clients
Supporting clients at every stage of the investment chain.
Perpetually low interest rates are the reason why the needs of investor clients are growing increasingly diverse. As the only financial institution with the resources to handle nearly all asset management functions, including investment management, administration, and sale, the SuMi TRUST Group can deliver the best solutions to clients by undertaking multiple roles in the investment chain.

Financial soundness
Non-performing loan ratio
Mortgage loans make up the bulk of lending to individuals, while large domestic corporations comprise the lion's share of corporate loans. Our low non-performing loan ratio owes to disciplined credit exposure management.
Sustainability
Leveraging our trust functions to contribute to the sustainable development of society
Sustainability initiatives with strong links to our trust businesses
The functions of trusts have long played a key role in solving various issues in society and sustainability initiatives in the spotlight in more recent times also align closely with our trust businesses. We aim to contribute even further to the sustainable development of society up ahead by fully harnessing the strengths of the Group's business model to solve the issues faced by our clients.
