The SMBC Group announced that it will fully roll out the common SMBC Wealth brand across its banking, securities and trust businesses. It plans to provide a comprehensive range of solutions, from asset management and succession planning to non-financial services.
According to a Nikkei press release, the SMBC Group will formally roll out SMBC Wealth as the common brand for its wealth management business. Centered on Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, SMBC Nikko Securities and SMBC Trust Bank, the group will integrate and provide solutions ranging from asset management to asset and business succession and non-financial services. The initiative aims to link the functions of its banking, securities and trust businesses and provide long-term support tailored to each customer's life events.
The arrival of an era in which people live to 100, diversifying values and growing demand for asset and business succession are cited as the background to the full-scale rollout. The SMBC Group says it has been working to clarify the value of wealth management by leveraging expertise across the group in response to these needs. Putting the brand at the forefront will accelerate the provision of comprehensive solutions.
