Monex Group Announced Creation of the Sustainable Finance Department

Monex Group, a major online financial institution, recently announced that it has created the Sustainable Finance Department in its subsidiary Monex, Inc. In addition, the company also plans to launch Monex Climate Impact Fund in March this year.

Recognizing that ESG activities are an integral part of day-to-day business, the company has established the ESG Promotion Secretariat, aiming to contribute to medium- and long-term improvement of corporate value.

With the new launch, the company will focus on solutions to environmental issues to meet ESG financial investor needs, including retail networks and end-money investors, as institutional investors play a large role in the ESG financial investment field.

Monex Group's sustainable finance initiatives will include a full range of new activities with a positive impact on environment and society, as follows:

- Monex Climate Impact Fund, which focuses on global renewable energy solutions and green tech startups. The fund's energy experts will primarily focus on impact investment while optimizing returns along with the life cycle of underlying real assets, but will also invest in green tech startups;

- Monex eGreen Fintech, at the heart of our sustainable finance initiatives, will pave the way to further digital ESG innovation through an asset tracking and monitoring platform developed to ensure transparent and tamper-proof reporting of the environmental impact of each portfolio asset, leveraging advances in blockchain, AI and other state-of-the-art technologies.

- Innovative sustainable finance products offering sourced out of various global ESG underlying assets to match client needs according to their risk/return profile targets.
