Disclosure Policy of Mizuho 3 A Message from the President & CEO of Mizuho Financial Group, Inc. On behalf of the Mizuho Financial Group, I would like to take this opportunity to extend my sincere gratitude to our shareholders and cus- tomers for your continued support. Last fiscal year, we took speedy and decisive actions for our manage- ment reform, including the recent reorganization of our new corporate structure and execution of measures to resolve all major financial issues. In the current fiscal year, we are making every effort in further improv- ing our customer services and enhancing competitiveness and profitabil- ity. I would like to assure you that we aim to make this year a year of achievement for Mizuho in response to your support and expectations. Completion of Our New Corporate Structure On April 1, 2002, the Mizuho Financial Group launched two banks, namely, Mizuho Corporate Bank, which primarily serves large corporations and overseas corporations, and Mizuho Bank, which deals primarily with individuals and domestic small, medium-sized and middle market enterprises, hence creating a corporate structure under a holding company with four core subsidiaries consist- ing of these two banks and Mizuho Securities and Mizuho Trust & Banking. I would also like to take this opportunity to express my deepest apologies for the computer systems problems that occurred at the launching of the two banks mentioned above and affected our domestic services such as delays in automatic debit transactions and problems in ATM services. We immediately established a preventive structure in order not to repeat similar problems and we are undertaking further improvement of our customer services. Since the group's inauguration, we have aggressively adopted and implemented various measures to carry out management reform. In March of this year, we further reviewed our corporate strategies and instituted the reorganization of our corporate structure in order to further reinforce our comprehensive financial services capabilities and secure stable profitability. Specifically, we strengthened the collaboration between the banking and securities subsidiaries based on customer segmentation. Moreover, Mizuho Trust & Banking and Mizuho Asset Trust & Banking were merged to unify the group's trust banking business. We also set up a new financial holding company, Mizuho Financial Group, Inc., to directly manage strategically important group subsidiaries, including a credit card company, asset management companies and IT-related companies. Furthermore, in order to concurrently promote an early achievement of our corporate customers' revitalization and a further reinforce- ment of our credit creation function, we initiated the “Corporate Revitalization Project” in the current fiscal year. In this project, we newly established four financial subsidiaries specializing in corporate revitalization and an advisory company with cutting-edge

  • Lazard Japanese Strategic Equity Fund Monthly Commentary
    Lazard Japanese Strategic Equity Fund AUG Commentary 2021 Market Overview Markets were on the weak side for the rst few weeks of the month due to concerns that rapidly increasing delta variant cases around the world would side-track the current global economic recovery following pandemic period lows. However, the market made a strong recovery in the last week-and-a-half, with the TOPIX Total Return index nishing the month up a solid 3.2% in yen terms. Tokyo managed to host a reasonably successful Olympics and Japan even produced a strong showing in the medal count, particularly in gold medals. Portfolio Review During the month, the portfolio underperformed the TOPIX Total Return Index which returned 3.2% in yen terms. Being underweight and stock selection in consumer discretionary, and stock selection in the materials and utilities sectors were top contributors to performance. Being underweight and stock selection in health care, stock selection in communication services, and being underweight and stock selection in information technology sectors were negative. During the month, the top positive contributors to relative performance included: • Nippon Steel, Japan’s largest steel manufacturer, was strong after reporting better-than-expected rst-quarter earnings and raising its full-year guidance. • Mitsui O.S.K.Lines, a leading shipping company, continued to rise due to stronger-than-expected earnings and a better-than- expected dividend increase. • Makita, a leading global manufacturer of power tools, raised full-year guidance as its rst-quarter saw continued strong demand globally. • Dai-ichi Life Holdings, a leading life insurance company, rose as the yield on 10-year U.S.

  • Whither the Keiretsu, Japan's Business Networks? How Were They Structured? What Did They Do? Why Are They Gone?
    UC Berkeley Working Paper Series Title Whither the Keiretsu, Japan's Business Networks? How Were They Structured? What Did They Do? Why Are They Gone? Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/00m7d34g Authors Lincoln, James R. Shimotani, Masahiro Publication Date 2009-09-24 eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California WHITHER THE KEIRETSU, JAPAN’S BUSINESS NETWORKS? How were they structured? What did they do? Why are they gone? James R. Lincoln Walter A. Haas School of Business University of California, Berkeley Berkeley, CA 94720 USA ([email protected]) Masahiro Shimotani Faculty of Economics Fukui Prefectural University Fukui City, Japan ([email protected]) 1 INTRODUCTION The title of this volume and the papers that fill it concern business “groups,” a term suggesting an identifiable collection of actors (here, firms) within a clear-cut boundary. The Japanese keiretsu have been described in similar terms, yet compared to business groups in other countries the postwar keiretsu warrant the “group” label least. The prewar progenitor of the keiretsu, the zaibatsu, however, could fairly be described as groups, and, in their relatively sharp boundaries, hierarchical structure, family control, and close ties to the state were structurally similar to business groups elsewhere in the world. With the break-up by the U. S. Occupation of the largest member firms, the purging of their executives, and the outlawing of the holding company structure that held them together, the zaibatsu were transformed into quite different business entities, what we and other literature call “network forms” of organization (Podolny and Page, 1998; Miyajima, 1994).
