The 8th Medium-Term Management Plan (FY2026-2028)
Guided by the 7th Medium-Term Management Plan (FY2023–FY2025) formulated in February 2023, and the Long-Term Management Vision Targeted by JSF formulated and published in November 2023, as a company listed on the Prime Market of TSE that supports the infrastructure functions of the securities and financial markets, we are pursuing management reform initiatives to achieve our management goals of stably maintaining a consolidated ordinary profit at a level exceeding 10 billion yen and ROE above 5%, while aiming for further improvement. In terms of business strategy, our efforts to diversify our revenue sources and establish multiple revenue streams have produced certain results. With our corporate governance initiatives, we have also strived to further enhance and otherwise strengthen the deliberations of the Board of Directors.
As a result, during the period of the 7th Medium-Term Management Plan, we steadily improved our consolidated ordinary profit and ROE, achieving levels that surpassed our management goals.
Moving forward, under our recently formulated 8th Medium-Term Management Plan and Shareholder Return Policy, JSF, as Japan’s only securities finance company supporting the infrastructure functions of the securities and financial markets, will further advance its efforts to become a distinct and unique company that operates with a high degree of agility and flexibility. Our goal is to achieve sustained growth and to enhance our corporate value while maintaining strong financial soundness and contributing to the development of the securities and financial markets.
As an institution specializing in securities finance, JSF’s mission is to contribute to the development of the securities and financial market by proactively meeting the diverse needs of the securities and financial sectors and striving to enhance the long-term interests of market participants and users, while always maintaining a keen awareness of its public role.
JSF, as Japan’s one and only securities finance company that supports the infrastructure function of the securities and financial markets, seeks to be a distinctive and unique company that is agile and flexible enough to achieve sustained growth and enhance its corporate value by maintaining strong financial soundness, through its contributions to the development of the securities and financial market.
