[SBI Securities] Announcement of Commencement of Handling for "SBI Yomiuri 333 Index Fund"

SBI Securities Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President: Masato Takamura; hereinafter "the Company") announces the commencement of handling for the "SBI Yomiuri 333 Index Fund" (Nickname: SBI Yomiuri 333; hereinafter "the Fund"), which will be established and managed by SBI Asset Management Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President: Kenichi Umemoto; hereinafter "SBI Asset") starting on Thursday, April 30, 2026. The Fund is a publicly offered investment trust that aims to achieve investment results linked to the "Yomiuri Stock Price Index (Yomiuri 333) (including dividends)," which is attracting attention as a new benchmark for diversified investment in Japanese stocks. The Yomiuri 333 is a Japanese stock price index calculated and published by the Yomiuri Shimbun since March 2025, consisting of 333 stocks selected from all listed domestic companies based on liquidity and company size. A major feature of the Yomiuri 333 is its adoption of an "equal-weight method," where all constituent stocks are incorporated at approximately 0.3% each. This aims to suppress bias towards specific large-cap stocks and more balancedly reflect the movements of the Japanese economy, including medium-sized and regional companies nationwide. In addition, weight adjustments are regularly made to reduce the proportion of stocks that have risen in value and increase the proportion of stocks that have fallen. The Fund achieves an industry-leading low trust fee of 0.132% (tax included) per annum* as an investment trust linked to the Yomiuri 333. It is eligible for NISA's "Growth Investment Framework" and "Tsumitate Investment Framework," offering a new option for Japanese stock index funds suitable for long-term, installment, and diversified investment. To commemorate the commencement of handling by the Company, a campaign will be held from Thursday, April 30, 2026, to Friday, May 29, 2026, where investors in index funds linked to the Yomiuri 333 can win up to 33,300 yen. Under its "customer-centric principle," the Company is committed to providing high-quality, low-cost investment products, and expects to contribute to the medium- to long-term asset building of investors. We will continue to strive to expand products and services that meet the diverse needs of individual investors. ■ Overview of the Fund Fund Name: SBI Yomiuri 333 Index Fund Target Assets/Region: Stocks / Domestic Trust Fee (Annual, Tax Included): 0.132% (Industry's lowest level*) Investment Policy: Aims for investment results linked to the Yomiuri Stock Price Index (Yomiuri 333) (including dividends).
