SJML Japan K.K. (Location: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Samantha Ghiotti; hereinafter "SJML") has completed its registration as a financial services intermediary (securities intermediary business),　and plans to start offering selected mutual funds to help millennials build long-term assets in late 2022.

CEO Samantha Ghiotti said, "First of all, I would like to thank the supervisory authorities for creating this new regime of financial services intermediary business and supporting our registration. We hope to use this system to bring beneficial innovations in financial services in Japan. We will change the money habits of the younger generation in Japan by providing a mobile platform for savings, investment, and protection under Habitto brand”.

The Financial Services Intermediary Legislation came into effect in November 2021, allowing financial services intermediaries to offer products and services in multiple industries, including banking, securities, and insurance, under this registration system. SJML was incorporated in Japan in November last year, as the subsidiary of the parent company in Singapore established by co-founders Samantha Ghiotti and Liam McCance. SJML is the fifth financial services intermediary to receive this registration and the first foreign company to do so.
