Japan Asset Management Co., Ltd. Opens Osaka Branch on May 18, 2026

Japan Asset Management Co., Ltd. (Location: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Tomoo Horie; hereinafter 'the Company'), an Independent Financial Advisor (IFA) firm providing comprehensive financial services, announces the opening of its Osaka branch on Monday, May 18, 2026, to strengthen its in-person consulting structure in the Kansai and broader West Japan area. With this new office, we will enhance our agile, locally-rooted response and detailed in-person support. Furthermore, we will deepen our collaboration with affiliated companies in the Kansai area, including corporate clients of the 'Shines' employee asset formation support service developed with our capital and business alliance partner, NEC Corporation, to further solidify the foundation supporting our customers' long-term asset formation. ■ Background and Purpose of the Osaka Branch Opening In recent years, social interest in asset management has been growing due to the increasing complexity of the market environment and changing attitudes toward preparing for the future. Amidst this, we have received many requests for specialized, locally-based support in the Kansai region. Until now, we have primarily supported customers in this area through remote communication and business trips. However, to build deeper relationships of trust through dialogue, we have decided to open the Osaka branch. Another significant factor in this decision is the increasing number of partnership opportunities with companies based in Kansai. In particular, by strengthening local collaboration with companies that have adopted the 'Shines' service we are working on with NEC, and with our other partners, we will establish a system that can promptly respond to the diverse needs of local customers. Through the Osaka branch, we will strive to further improve our services that support customers' long-term asset formation. ■ Osaka Branch Overview Branch Name: Japan Asset Management Co., Ltd.

We believe that the most important aspect of asset management is not just providing information, but the relationship of trust built through dialogue. As we have received many requests for in-person consultations from customers in the Kansai region, we will now establish a more accessible and continuous support system centered on this branch. By further deepening our collaboration with partner companies based in Kansai, we will provide higher value-added proposals that meet the diverse needs of local customers. All employees at the Osaka branch will sincerely engage with each customer and strive to be a support for their long-term asset formation. ■ About Japan Asset Management Co., Ltd.
