"We are delighted that CREAL's cumulative funding (GMV) has exceeded 100 billion yen. We are deeply grateful for the support of numerous investors since the launch of our service in 2018, which has allowed us to reach this significant milestone.
Under our mission of 'Transforming real estate investment, transforming society,' we have strived to create an asset management service that is easy, enjoyable, and safe for everyone to use. To achieve this, we have thoroughly implemented detailed and transparent information disclosure, an easy-to-understand design for beginners, and the provision of high-quality funds based on strict investment decisions. The figure of 100 billion yen is nothing less than the accumulation of trust from everyone towards these efforts.
Moving forward, we will continue to enhance the transparency unique to CREAL and consistently provide high-quality investment opportunities, thereby contributing to the democratization of real estate investment."
## Future Outlook
Our company has set a target of 250 billion yen in annual GMV by the fiscal year ending March 2030, as part of our medium-term management plan "Game Changer 2030." We aim for accelerated growth by leveraging this achievement of surpassing 100 billion yen in cumulative funding (GMV) as a powerful driving force, in conjunction with the real estate ST service scheduled to launch this year.
*1 About GMV: For Article 1 and 2 businesses of the Real Estate Specified Joint Enterprise Act, funds were recorded as GMV upon completion of fund formation through crowdfunding. However, for Article 3 and 4 businesses, real estate is acquired by combining crowdfunding and bank financing in principle, so GMV is recorded as the combined total upon completion of both financing methods.
*2 Announced on June 26, 2025: Notification regarding obtaining permission for Article 3 and 4 businesses of the Real Estate Specified Joint Enterprise Act.
*3 The ratio of investment amount by investors with investment track record within one year to the GMV of the relevant quarter.
