CEO Message

Your most-trusted partner
“Innovating today. Transforming tomorrow.”
together with you

Thank you for your continued patronage and support.

Mizuho Securities is constantly evolving, tackling challenges, and creating value for clients. We aim to be a securities company that resonates with people, and continually strive to remain the most-trusted partner for our clients, markets, and the communities we serve.

In Japan this year, the “new NISA” tax-advantaged investment account was successfully launched, and the Nikkei index reached an all-time high. This reflects high aspirations across domestic and international markets for Japan's sustainable economic growth, its shift from saving to investing, and corporate transformation and evolution towards new value creation. In this context, we believe our key responsibility and mission as a securities company is to contribute to your prosperity and, by extension, support the sustainable growth of the Japanese economy.

Clients face a wide range of challenges, including building wealth in an era of 100-year lifespans, transferring assets to the next generation, sustainability, and digital transformation. Leveraging Mizuho’s extensive knowledge, business platform, and investor network, we will address your increasingly diverse issues, including individual asset formation, corporate value enhancement, while also addressing societal challenges.

Furthermore, while monitoring risks and signs of change, we will carefully listen to your needs and concerns and challenge ourselves as professionals to devise innovative solutions. Above all, based on the deep commitment, passion, and ingenuity of every employee, we will provide sophisticated and experienced support as we journey together with you toward sustainable growth.

Fiscal 2024 is crucial for transforming our seeds of change into strong trends across the Group. We will continue to drive our business forward by focusing on our client-centric approach, differentiating ourselves from our peers, and enhancing our competitive advantage while exploring growth opportunities that lead the entire Group toward an even brighter future. We will also further highlight viewpoints of sales reps and other front-line employees, strengthen governance controls, and continue to enhance operational efficiency. We will leverage the perspectives of all stakeholders, including clients, to take on new challenges and achieve incomparable results while always remaining your most-trusted partner and the first securities company you turn to.

We look forward to serving you and your continued support.
