  • Aozora Bank & Sophia University to Launch Joint Research Project In
    Aozora Bank, Ltd. Sophia University July 10, 2019 ＮＥＷＳ ＲＥＬＥＡＳＥ Aozora Bank & Sophia University to Launch Joint Research Project in Field of “Financial Gerontology” Tokyo July 10, 2019 — Aozora Bank, Ltd. (President and CEO: Shinsuke Baba; Head Office: Tokyo) (“Aozora” or “the Bank”) and Sophia University (President: Yoshiaki Terumichi; Tokyo) today announced their intent to launch a joint research project with a focus on financial gerontology. Financial gerontology is a relatively new academic discipline that examines the economic challenges associated with aging and the post-retirement generation’s approach to asset management. Research findings are expected to provide additional insights into the state of financial services in Japan, one of the world’s most rapidly aging countries. This joint research project is a result of discussions and complementary interests between Aozora, which has had a long-standing focus on asset management consulting for senior customers and recognizes the challenges posed by an aging society, and the Department of Psychology, Faculty of Human Sciences of Sophia University, which is pursuing a deeper understanding of geriatric psychology from the perspective of clinical psychology. The results of this research are expected to assist Aozora in further improving the quality of its retail banking services directed towards its mass-affluent senior generation customers as part of Aozora’s customer-oriented business management strategy. The research is expected to enable Sophia to lay the groundwork for a research program examining safer and happier retirement lifestyles for the senior generation by studying how the Bank responds to its senior customers. [Joint Research Summary] ■Research Subject A study into the effectiveness of financial services offered to seniors from the perspective of financial gerontology ■Research Overview 1.
