We will work toward an early recovery in our financial business
in Southeast Asia for continued growth as the financial group
leading the way to Asia’s future.
Overview of FY03/2019
• Recorded large losses due to provisions booked conservatively against latent risks,
aiming for continuous growth
• Addressed anticipated risks in advance to lay the foundation for an earnings recovery
Initiatives for continuous growth
• Emphasize rebuilding of the fi nancial business in Southeast Asia for an early recovery
• Implement measures for continuous growth in the fi nancial business in Japan as well
as fi nancial business in South Korea and Mongolia
We recorded a large operating loss due to provisions booked conservatively against latent risks and rebuilt the foundation for future growth.
Overview of FY03/2019
The J Trust Group operates three core businesses: the
fi nancial business in Japan; the fi nancial business in
South Korea and Mongolia; and the fi nancial business in
Southeast Asia. The fi nancial business in Japan consti-
tutes a stable profi t base, and using the expertise we
have cultivated in Japan we are developing fi nancial busi-
nesses in South Korea and Mongolia and in Southeast
Asia, to expand our fi nancial business platform in the
Asian region. We have already established stable man-
agement bases in Japan and South Korea. We are also
implementing a variety of initiatives as future growth
drivers for the fi nancial business in Southeast Asia.
Operating revenue for FY03/2019 rose 0.8% from the
previous fi scal year to 74.9 billion yen; however, we
recorded an operating loss of 32.6 billion yen (compared
with a 4.7 billion yen operating profi t in the previous year).
As a provision for future risks, Bank JTrust Indonesia
processed almost all non-performing loans that existed
before the bank was acquired in a lump sum, and pro-
cessed a portion of loans that became non- performing
after the acquisition as well as a portion of potential
non- performing loans, resulting in the booking of a 13.0
billion yen provision in fi nancial business in Southeast
Asia. JTRUST ASIA PTE. LTD. also recorded a 20.1
billion yen provision against the entire amount of claims
of Group Lease PCL it held. These were the main factors
behind the large operating loss in FY03/2019, but future
collections against these provisions will be recorded
as profi t and will contribute to earnings. In addition,
to eliminate uncertainties related to our businesses,

and to build a foundation for a rapid recovery, we have
strategically reviewed our business portfolio and are
concentrating our efforts in businesses where continuous
growth is forecast. Through these measures, we have
addressed in advance the risks envisioned at this time,
and have laid a path for an earnings recovery from
FY12/2019 onward.* The fi nancial business in Japan and
the fi nancial business in South Korea and Mongolia can
be expected to continue to record stable profi ts, so by
rebuilding the fi nancial business in Southeast Asia we are
reestablishing the company as one that records stable
profi t. The following is an explanation of our initiatives for
continuous growth.

The fi nancial business in Southeast Asia consists of Bank
JTrust Indonesia (BJI) for banking operations, PT JTRUST
INVESTMENTS INDONESIA (JTII) for receivables collec-
tion operations, and PT JTRUST OLYMPINDO MULTI
FINANCE (JTO) for multi-fi nance in areas including auto-
mobiles and agricultural equipment. Even among the
various ASEAN countries undergoing rapid economic
growth, Indonesia’s growth stands out, and with the
largest ASEAN national popu lation of roughly 270 million
people, nominal GDP is also ASEAN’s highest, at more
than 1 trillion dollars. As with South Korea, Indonesia
constitutes a three-pronged business group with a bank,
a servicer, and a fi nance company, and we see this
structure as a major achievement.
At the same time, the fi nancial business in Southeast
Asia booked a provision to process a large amount
of non-performing loans that emerged at BJI during
FY03/2019, and BJI also stopped extending new loans
as a way to prevent further growth in non-performing
loans.
The main reason for the emergence of non-performing
loans at BJI was that as proactive marketing was carried
out in the pursuit of achieving loan balance targets, the
screening process became relaxed. Going forward, we
will emphasize achieving profi tability by “rebuilding the
foundation,” and working to “rebuild personnel and the
organization” and “strengthen risk management.”
To restructure personnel and the organization, we are
streamlining operations through staffi ng reductions and
branch mergers and closures, and have also sent some
of the Group’s outstanding managers who were success-
ful in bank rebuilding in South Korea to BJI. We have also
dispatched specialists in areas including screening,
marketing, and auditing.
To strengthen risk management, we have assigned
staff responsible for compliance to all branches in order
to enhance loan screening and establish a compliance
structure. These staff visit customers in person and con-
duct surveys to determine whether employees dealt with
them appropriately and provided suffi cient explanations,
to confi rm the appropriateness of operations and create
a strong corporate culture.
The J Trust Group is carrying out the above measures
in fi nancial business in Southeast Asia to “rebuild the
foundation” of BJI, and is also emphasizing the early col-
lection of non-performing loans at JTII. BJI is also work-
ing to increase its quality loans outstanding through joint
fi nancing with JTO (see Page 16).

To Our Stakeholders
As an offensive measure to rebuild the fi nancial busi-
ness in Southeast Asia, BJI is using a Japan Linkage
Division. Under this framework, BJI supports customers
of Japanese regional banks that are expanding into
Indonesia, creating possibilities for win-win relationships
between BJI and regional banks. This framework is
already being established to provide loans for housing
built by a Japanese construction company in Indonesia.
The Japan Linkage Division has been well received by a
number of regional banks, and additional new proposals
are in the works. Going forward, BJI will work to grow by
increasing staff and providing detailed services that are
diffi cult for large banks.
As another offensive measure, in August 2019 we
acquired a 55.0% shareholding in ANZ Royal Bank
(Cambodia) Ltd. (ANZR), Cambodia’s 10th largest com-
mercial bank in terms of total assets (as of December
2018). ANZR is known as a top-tier bank with operations
focusing on low-risk markets, namely the top 1% of
leading companies in Cambodia and the top 5% of high-
net-worth individuals, and for the past several years has
generated annual operating profi t of roughly 3 billion yen.
Once the acquisition is completed, the bank can be
expected to contribute profi t to the J Trust Group as
J Trust Royal Bank Ltd., and in addition, by integrating
the Group’s expertise in retail fi nancing, the bank will aim
for profi t growth by offering new services and expanding
its customer base.
In preparation for the commencement of bank opera-
tions, we held a “J Trust Coming Soon” campaign in
Cambodia, and have already received many inquiries
regarding fi nancing and operational tie-ups. In addition to
rebuilding the fi nancial business in Indonesia, we will
develop the strategy for expanding J Trust Royal Bank’s
customer base to turn the fi nancial business in Southeast
Asia into a growth driver.

Financial business in Japan
We are diversifying our guarantee products.
Initiatives for continuous growth
Backed by the J Trust Group’s strengths in areas includ-
ing screening, collection, and marketing, our business in
Japan focuses on credit guarantees and the purchase
and collection of receivables.
Our credit guarantee business involves mainly credit
guarantees for property-backed loans that are handled
by our associated fi nancial institutions. The Group’s
strengths lie in our ability to develop tailor-made products
in response to market needs and our proprietary real
estate screening capabilities. To date, we have limited the
business to properties within a roughly 10-minute walk
from a train or subway station in the urban areas of
Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka, and Fukuoka, built up credit
guarantee balances with a focus on condominium loans
and have maintained an occupancy rate on rental hous-
ing of at least 98%. Nevertheless, with fi nancial institu-
tions’ screening standards becoming increasingly strict, it
is diffi cult to expect growth in credit guarantee balances
for condominium loans, so we are expanding our credit
guarantee products to include a business providing guar-
antees on overseas property-backed loans for high net-
worth individuals and reverse mortgages. In addition, in
March 2019 we entered into an operational tie-up with
SAMURAI&J PARTNERS Co., Ltd. to expand our guaran-
tee products, and we are involved in the joint packaging,
promotion, and credit guarantee operations for crowd-
funded products being developed by SAMURAI&J
PARTNERS as part of their investment banking opera-
tions. Nihon Hoshou Co., Ltd. is responsible for credit
guarantee services, and has credit guarantee balances
exceeding 200 billion yen. With its guarantee capabilities,
Nihon Hoshou engages in guarantees for fi nance-type
crowd funding, so that if investors can be assured that
they will be repaid their principal and interest, demand
from investors will grow.
In the business of purchasing and collecting receiv-
ables, the balance of claimed receivables is over 900 bil-
lion yen, refl ecting the strength of its domestic top-class
collection capabilities stemming from the consolidation of
expertise gained through mergers and acquisitions. The
strength of these collection capabilities gives us a com-
petitive edge when bidding to purchase claims from
fi nancial institutions and credit card companies, and we
are using this expertise in claims collection developed in
Japan in our fi nancial business in South Korea and our
fi nancial business in Southeast Asia.

To Our Stakeholders
Financial business in South Korea and Mongolia
With a foundation in place to develop comprehensive fi nancial services, shift from “quantity” to “quality” and aim for stable growth.
Initiatives for continuous growth
The Group’s operational expertise developed in Japan in
areas including screening, collection, and marketing is
leading to signifi cant success as we develop our busi-
ness in South Korea. The Group’s operations in South
Korea began with the acquisition of a savings bank
license and the commencement of operations in 2012
of JT Chinae Savings Bank Co., Ltd., which achieved
full-year profi tability in two-and-a-half years. Currently
in South Korea, banking operations are carried out by
JT Chinae Savings Bank and JT Savings Bank Co., Ltd.,
with JT Capital Co., Ltd. engaged in installment loans
and leasing operations and TA Asset Management Co.,
Ltd. handling the purchase and collection of receivables.
With this three-pronged corporate group structure, we
have established a management platform for the devel-
opment of comprehensive fi nancial services, and have
entered a phase where stable growth is expected. Going
forward, we will maintain stable customer relationships
through unsecured consumer loans, increase speed and
reduce costs using fi nancial technology (“Fintech”) in our
screening system, and strengthen our receivable collec-
tion system, while at the same time aiming for a balance
between risk and return by emphasizing “quality” over
“quantity.” In Mongolia, J Trust Credit NBFI became part
of the J Trust Group in 2018. This company is currently
focusing on loans for used cars, offering speedy fi nancing
services at reasonable interest rates.

Dividend(Yen)
Along with reducing the dividend, we have suspended or reduced directors’ compensation
To our stakeholders
J Trust recognizes that appropriate returns of profi t to
shareholders and a stable dividend are one of manage-
ment’s most important issues. We maintained the full-
year dividend at 12 yen per share for the three years
starting from FY03/2016, but in light of the major
downward revision to results for FY03/2019, we have
reduced the full-year dividend to 7 yen per share, con-
sisting of a 6 yen per share interim dividend and a 1 yen
per share year-end dividend. At the same time, to clarify
responsibility for the downward revisions to results and
the dividend, directors’ compensation has been
suspended or reduced.
In addition, because more than half of the Group’s
operating revenue is generated by overseas subsidiaries
and with many overseas subsidiaries ending their fi scal
year on December 31, we are changing to a January 1–
December 31 fi scal year to promote more globally
integrated management and increase management
transparency through timely and appropriate disclosure.
As a result, FY12/2019 will be an irregular, nine-month
fi scal year beginning April 1, 2019, and ending December
31, 2019. With regard to the dividend, given the priority
being placed on an early recovery in results again in
FY12/2019, we intend to pay a year-end dividend of
1 yen per share.
Each and every employee of the J Trust Group will
work as one toward a recovery in business results and
continuous growth. I ask for the further guidance and
support of shareholders and investors in this endeavor.
Interim dividend Year-end dividend
Notes: 1. Figures are retroactively adjusted to reflect the June 2012 stock split.
2. FY03/2016 dividend included a commemorative dividend of ¥2 per share.

Toward continuous growth in the financial business in Indonesia—Increasing loan balances through joint fi nancing between BJI and JTO—
SpecialFeature
Indonesia’s nominal GDP is Southeast Asia’s largest at more than 1 trillion dollars, and its actual GDP growth rate has continued at roughly the 5-6% level since 2010. Indonesia also has Southeast Asia’s largest population, at roughly 270 million, and the average age (29.7*1) is lower than Thailand and Vietnam. Another signifi cant feature is that the country is a group of islands. The J Trust Group is working toward continuous growth of fi nancial business in Indonesia by increasing joint fi nancing between our commercial bank PT Bank JTrust Indonesia Tbk. (BJI) and PT JTRUST OLYMPINDO MULTI FINANCE (JTO), which is engaged in multi-fi nance for automobiles and agricultural equipment and has a marketing network that covers remote islands.

Overview of JTO
JTO’s predecessor company, PT. OLYMPINDO MULTI
FINANCE, was a multi-fi nance company which operated in
Indonesia for more than 40 years, focused on fi nancing for
used cars. Through its network of more than 40 locations on
Indonesia’s fi ve major islands, the company has built strong
relationships of trust with many used car dealers.
The J Trust Group acquired a 60% shareholding (common
share basis) of the company in October 2018, made it a sub-
sidiary and changed the name to JTRUST OLYMPINDO MULTI
FINANCE (JTO). Kazuyuki Matsuoka, who has a wealth of
management experience in the fi nancial industries in Japan and
South Korea and at companies incorporated overseas, was sent
to the company as President Director and Teruhiko Miwa, who
has more than 20 years of experience in the fi nancial industries
of Japan and Indonesia, was named Vice President Director.Teruhiko MiwaVice President Director

Indonesia’s multi-fi nance industry has experienced prob-
lems involving improper accounting and non-performing
loans emerging from effectively unsecured loans related
to electrical appliances, and because of the increase in
credit risk for the industry overall, over the past few years
the environment for fund procurement by independent
multi-fi nance companies not affi liated with major banks or
manufacturers has deteriorated.
At the same time, the fund procurement environment
for JTO has improved signifi cantly with the backing of
BJI. With this stability in fund procurement, JTO has
resumed transactions with large used car dealers after
having scaled back this business, and the number of
new loans and outstanding amounts continues to grow
on a month-on-month basis. For May 2019 these fi gures
were 997 loans and 115.4 billion rupiah, respectively,
and compared with April 2018 when we acquired the
60% shareholding in PT. OLYMPINDO MULTI FINANCE,
these represent respective increases of 4.3 times and
6.0 times.
Total loans outstanding decreased over a six-month
period from April 2018, but with JTO becoming a Group
subsidiary and the commencement of joint fi nancing
starting in October 2018, this has turned around to
growth. In addition, using the screening and collection
expertise we have developed in Japan, the quality of
claims has improved signifi cantly as has the non-
performing loan ratio.

Our credit guarantee business and purchase and collection of receivables business remain solid.
Financial business in Japan
Financial business in Japan maintained high profi t level again in FY03/2019Using the Group’s strengths, the fi nancial business in Japan focuses on credit guarantees for property-backed loans and the purchase and collection of receivables. The credit guarantees for property-based loans business is primarily carried out by Nihon Hoshou Co., Ltd., and Partir Servicer Co., Ltd. is the main entity for the purchase and collection of receivables business. In FY03/2019, the fi nancial business in Japan recorded growth in guarantee commissions in line with an increase in credit guarantee balances, and steady growth in inter-est income from receivables collection operations, resulting in a 17.2% increase from the previous year in operating revenue to 10.7 billion yen and a 2.0% increase in operating profi t to 4.2 billion yen.
Progress made in product diversifi cation in the business of credit guarantees for property-backed loansThe credit guarantee balance as of the end of FY03/2019 grew to 202.4 billion yen, due to increases in con-dominium loans and credit guarantees for overseas property- backed loans. Credit guarantees for overseas property- backed loans and guarantees on reverse mortgage- type loans are being developed as products which will grow over a long period of time in addition to guarantees for condominium loans. The guarantees for condominium loans are being affected by sluggish growth across the industry overall, but because of the long fi nancing period for condomin-ium loans, there is little likelihood of a sudden, drastic decrease in guarantees outstanding. As of March 2019, we had guarantees on roughly 2,000 properties, without a single default. In the business of credit guarantees for overseas property-backed loans, we have expanded our geo-graphic area for loans made by THE SAIKYO BANK, LTD., and in March 2019 we began guarantee operations with Shinhan Bank Japan. Overseas property-backed loans guaranteed by Nihon Hoshou are popular among high net worth individuals in Japan who purchase real estate in Hawaii or the continental United States, because they are able to purchase the real estate using a long-term, yen- denominated loan from a partner bank in Japan instead of having to borrow in dollars at a higher interest rate from a U.S. bank. We are expanding our business of guarantees on reverse mortgage-type loans through operational tie-ups with railway-affi liated real estate companies, railway companies, and shinkin banks. This product is proving popular as a way to utilize empty homes and make it easier for older people to change residences. With regard to guarantees for crowdfunded real estate loan funds, we concluded an operational tie-up with

Double-digit revenue and profi t growth for fi nancial business in South Korea and Mongolia in FY03/2019In South Korea, we are using the Group’s operational expertise developed in Japan, including screening, collection, and marketing capabilities, to establish a three-pronged management base for savings bank operations, lease operations, and a purchase and collec-tion of receivables business, and to maximize profi t by responding fl exibly and quickly to the market environ-ment. JT Chinae Savings Bank Co., Ltd. and JT Savings Bank Co., Ltd. are the core entities of the fi nancial group in South Korea, with geographical coverage focused in Seoul but covering about 70% of the country, and the combined assets of the two banks would place it among South Korea’s three largest savings banks. Leasing and installment loans are handled by JT Capital Co., Ltd., and TA Asset Management Co., Ltd. is engaged in the pur-chase and collection of receivables. In Mongolia, J Trust Credit NBFI conducts fi nancing operations. In FY03/2019, the fi nancial business in South Korea and Mongolia recorded a 10.6% increase from the previ-ous year in operating revenue, to 39.6 billion yen, on steady growth in interest income with a 37.3% increase in operating profi t, to 4.8 billion yen.
Foundation for developing comprehensive fi nancial services in place, working for continuous growth by improving quality of assetsWith an infrastructure for developing comprehensive fi nancial services in place, we are steadily expanding the scope of fi nancial business in South Korea and Mongolia by building up operating assets despite South Korea’s weak economic environment, and have achieved full-year profi tability for four consecutive years. South Korean fi nancial authorities have been lowering legal maximum lending rates in stages, with reductions to 27.9% from 34.9% in March 2016, and again to 24.0% in February 2018, and in the future the maximum rate is expected to be lowered to roughly 20%. There are also total lending volume limits on household loan disbursement, but loans with medium or low interest rates can be exempted from this, so we are working to increase claims in the low-risk interest rate range, while at the same time increasing fi nancing proposals to large corporations where the effect of these tighter regulations is minimal, to increase the quality of our assets while responding fl exibly to regulatory changes. TA Asset Management is steadily purchasing receiv-ables, and in January 2019 purchased receivables total-ing 74.4 billion won from a credit card company, bringing its principal balance to more than 300.0 billion won as of March 2019.

Rebuilding business base for continuous growthRegarding the financial business in Southeast Asia, in Indonesia, which has the largest population in Southeast Asia, we have PT Bank JTrust Indonesia, Tbk. (BJI) carry-ing out banking operations, PT JTRUST INVESTMENTS INDONESIA (JTII) engaged in the purchase and collection of receivables, and PT JTRUST OLYMPINDO MULTI FINANCE (JTO) providing multi-finance primarily for automobiles and agricultural equipment. The Group has made BJI’s revitalization one of its top priorities, and with the establishment of JTII, BJI has been making improvements to its financial position by, for instance, removing non-performing loans from its balance sheet. This revitalization has not proceeded according to plan, however, so as a sweeping measure to bring about a recovery in results and continuous growth, in FY03/2019 BJI processed all of its non- performing loans, including legacy assets from before the Group acquired the bank. For FY03/2019, the financial business in Southeast Asia recorded a 4.1% decline from the previous year in operating revenue to 13.0 billion yen, which included a decrease in interest income from cutbacks in lending by BJI. In addition, with the increase in expenses related to non-performing assets, including BJI’s processing of non-performing loans, the business recorded an operating loss of 17.7 billion yen (compared with a 1.5 billion yen operating profit in the previous year).
Working toward growth with three-pronged business development in Indonesia as wellIn October 2018, the Group acquired a 60% sharehold-ing in the multi-finance company PT. OLYMPINDO MULTI FINANCE (current JTO). With this acquisition, Indonesia follows South Korea in having a three-pronged business group comprising a bank, a servicer, and a finance com-pany, creating a structure that is able to address diverse needs in a wide range of areas. Working with BJI, JTO will be able to make its fund procurement more stable and increase its capital efficiency. Going forward, it will develop effective marketing activities and use the Group network to provide financial services with high added value and strengthen its business base. To increase the quality of assets, BJI’s new lending is focusing on growth through joint financing with JTO in a plan to contribute to BJI’s profit. In addition, JTO is expected to achieve an operating profit in FY12/2020. We have also built a platform for an earnings recovery in servicer operations by emphasizing the collection of non-performing loans transferred to JTII from BJI. Our

Hideki Yamane, an outside Audit & Supervisory Board Member, was employed at SAIKYO BANK, and a trading relationship exists between the Group and SAIKYO BANK in businesses including borrowing of funds and fi nancial guarantees. The Company benefi ts from their professional knowledge and useful suggestions and opinions on the management of the Company from an objective perspec-tive as outside experts. Their responsibility includes attendance at meetings, both ordinary and extraordinary, of the Board of Directors and the Audit & Supervisory Board, to consult with directors and employees for clarifi cation on various issues, when necessary. Although the Company has not explicitly defi ned policy or criteria for independence to appoint outside Audit & Supervisory Board Members or outside directors,
judgment on appointment is made on the assumption that an adequate level of independence is ensured for execution of duties as outside experts independent from the Company’s executives, taking career history and relationship with the Company into consideration. Outside directors (Norio Igarashi, Ryuji Mizuta, Masanori Kaneko and Masami Ishizaka) are appointed as independent directors who have no confl icts of interest with general shareholders.

The Department also provides advance explanation of the meetings as needed so that all concerned parties understand their purpose.

Summary of results of the evaluation of the
effectiveness of the Board of Directors
To further improve the effectiveness of the Board of Directors, the Company administers an anonymous questionnaire to all directors including outside directors, in which each director evaluates the effectiveness of the Board of Directors based on the director’s assessment. As a result, it was determined that the Board of Directors is appropriately performing its role and functioning effectively. Since the Group consists of companies of diverse business types, the understanding of outside executives will be taken into consideration when doing business. Furthermore, at the end of each term, the Representative Director, President & Chief Executive Offi cer implements a director evaluation by employees in
order to obtain broad input and evaluate the effectiveness of the Board of Directors as a whole. Based on the results of the evaluation, matters recognized as issues will be focused on, and we will work toward improving the effectiveness of the Board of Directors and the management system.
Internal Audit and Company Audit
The Company has an internal audit division to conduct internal audits to detect regulatory violations, potential risks and specifi c internal audits tailored to the business. The results are reported to the president as audit reports. Department heads are directly instructed to take correc-tive action for the issues identifi ed and they report the progress through an audit result’s improvement report.

The internal audit division monitors the results of sub-sidiaries’ internal audits to ensure the sound operation of subsidiaries and, if necessary, offers advice and propos-als, etc., to the subsidiaries’ internal audit division. In addition, a structure is in place in which the internal audit division conducts direct audits of subsidiaries within legal boundaries to determine whether inappropriate conduct or illegal acts have been committed, and in cases where they are identified, for the internal audit division to issue an improvement order to address the matter. The Company has an Audit & Supervisory Board system, which is composed of three members (two of whom are outside members). The Audit & Supervisory Board meeting is held once a month to conduct legal audits, mainly by full-time members, to examine whether each director’s execution of duties is based on laws and regulations as well as on the Company’s Articles of Incorporation. Also, in close cooperation with the internal audit division, the Audit & Supervisory Board ascertains whether employees’ execution of duties is compliant with laws and regulations. The Company’s accounting auditor and the Company’s Audit & Supervisory Board Members discuss and exchange views whenever necessary to gather informa-tion and to further develop an enhanced auditing system. Outside directors gather necessary information and collaborate with each other through attending Compliance & Risk Management Committee meetings
and discussing and exchanging views with Audit & Supervisory Board Members. Outside Audit & Supervisory Board Members receive internal audit reports from the internal audit division and also discuss and exchange opinions with the Company’s accounting audi-tor to gather information. Outside Audit & Supervisory Board Members, the internal audit division and the Company’s accounting auditor collaborate with each other through these means.

J Trust Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2019 31
Risk Management
Overview
The J Trust Group has established a set of guidelines, the Risk Management Regulations, for managing risk across the entire Group. Under these guidelines, the Group takes appropriate measures to manage risk effec-tively, and further, to minimize the effects of actualized risks on the Group and to reduce any harm that may result, while ensuring that business operations remain uninterrupted and the integrity of the organization is maintained. In addition, the Group has published a Risk Management Manual, which, along with the Risk Management Regulations, is stored in a database to be consulted by both executives and employees. The basic policy of our risk management is to have systems and structures in place so that (1) each depart-ment at all Group companies manages risks proactively and responsibly; (2) identifying, understanding and monitoring of risks beyond the management capability of each Group company are primarily carried out by the J Trust Compliance & Risk Management Committee and the Group company’s risk management staff; and (3) centralized Group risk management is possible, with appropriate involvement of management and the risk management secretariat.
Risk Management System
The Group, regarding ensuring compliance as the premise of risk management in all respects, has the Compliance & Risk Management Committee to realize a better internal compliance structure. This Committee sets
Strengthening Compliance to Mitigate Risk
internal regulations for compliance-related matters to ensure high-level compliance awareness and, by collecting information on the risk realized through daily activities and analyzing results, considers/discusses proper responses to any signifi cant risk information. Also, the Group makes every effort to prevent/mitigate risk through Monthly Reporting, which allows employees to offer opinions/proposals to the president, and the Corporate Ethics Consultation Desk, which receives consultations/reports on corporate ethics from executives and employees. Furthermore, the Group promotes the development of internal structures to prevent leakage of personal infor-mation by stipulating the Personal Information Protection Policy on how to handle/manage personal infor mation, following the implementation of the Act on the Protection of Personal Information.
Collection, Analysis, and Evaluation of Risk
The J Trust Group collects information concerning risks at each department of all Group companies in accor-dance with the Risk Management Manual. These risks are classifi ed into six categories* by department risk managers, and the department’s risk levels are judged based on severity (eight levels) in case of occurrence and frequency (eight levels). According to the judged risk level, the Group considers how to respond to the risk by determining an order of priorities for its response.
* 1. Credit, Market & Liquidity Risk, 2. Operational & Business Risk, 3. System Risk, 4. Management, Legal & Compliance Risk, 5. Information & Reputational Risk, 6. Disaster & Environmental Risk
Risk level Defi nition
Level A High priority risk
The biggest risk in which severity is large and frequency is high, and excessive losses and damages are expected in case of occurrence
Level B Priority risk
A major risk in which severity is large in case of occurrence, but frequency is not high.
Level C Frequent risk
A risk in which severity is relatively small by itself, but frequency is high, and severity becomes large due to repeated occurrences
Level D Ordinary risk
A risk in which severity is small and frequency is low, and there is little infl uence on loss and damage; however, it should be monitored in the ordinary course of business
Risk Level and Defi nition
J Trust Co., Ltd. Annual Report 201932
The J Trust Group is undergoing dramatic growth in business scope and employee numbers due to its powerful drive to expand its business domains. In recent years, it has also increased the pace of overseas corporate acquisitions and investments. These factors underscore the increasing need for transparent group-wide compliance and governance, as well as risk management. I have many years of business and auditing experience in fi nancial institutions. As an outside Audit & Supervisory Board Member in this context, I pay particular attention to monitoring the operating environments and associated risks specifi c to the Group’s overseas businesses, in addition to offering advice on information gathering and analysis, and appropriate risk management. A major responsibility of an outside Audit & Supervisory Board Member is to monitor the decision-making process to ensure fair and transparent operations and thus maximize returns to general shareholders and the company itself. From the perspective of contributing to sound, sustained growth, and advancement, Audit & Supervisory Board Members stand united with the top management team, including outside directors, and share the same responsibilities. In accordance with the Corporate Governance Code, J Trust appointed four outside directors, and I believe this has further strengthened the Group’s corporate governance structure. Furthermore, outside directors are working even more closely with Audit & Supervisory Board members to hold monthly meetings and put in place the most appropriate management for the Group’s global expan-sion. We are also assisting with the establishment and improvement of the Group’s corporate governance and compliance structures.
I contribute to the healthy development of the J Trust Group as a “fresh, outside set of eyes”.
I will help build compliance and governance systems suited to global business advancement.
J Trust is engaged in proactive investment, always taking a forward-looking, multidimensional view that is not restricted by preconceived concepts or by country. This is combined with a process of thorough investigation of the target company’s fi nances and the legal structure and geopolitical risk of the country in which it operates, always utilizing the expertise of relevant specialists. Over the past few years in particular, there has been a rapid increase in overseas investment opportunities we screen or judge. I believe this makes the role of J Trust’s four outside directors, with their knowledge of and experience in fi nance, public safety, public administration, and law even much more important. The role expected of outside directors is to be a “fresh, outside set of eyes”. Since becoming an outside director in June 2014, I have striven to contribute to the Company’s healthy management by providing opinions to ensure that there are no concerns of confl ict of interest in decisions made by the Board of Directors, that decisions are fair, impartial, and not prejudiced, and that they are aligned with the interests of shareholders. Going forward, I will fulfi ll my duties as an independent director by helping the J Trust Group develop through healthy business activities. To realize this, as a legal specialist, I will ensure the J Trust Group strictly complies with laws as a member of society and strengthens corporate governance.

The J Trust Group strives to create workplaces in which employees with diverse backgrounds can work with a sense of vitality and advance their careers.
Work-life balanceThe J Trust Group offers employees leave to look after sick children or elderly relatives, as well as childcare leave and shortened working hours while raising a family. In June 2013, our Group company KeyHolder was awarded the “Kurumin Mark” by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare in rec-ognition of having met the ministry’s benchmarks for child-rearing support.
Creating a vital workplaceThe J Trust Group has created a variety of support mechanisms to enable employees to work with a sense of vitality and ambition, and with sound mind and bodies. These include harassment awareness seminars and other human rights education, the establishment of internal and external hotlines, contracts with industrial physicians for the Group, and support for employees to obtain various qualifi cations for career improvement.
Through our business activities and social contribution activities, the J Trust Group works to preserve the global environment in a variety of ways.
Prevention of global warmingThe J Trust Group has introduced measures promoted by the government to address global warming, including “super cool biz” and “warm biz” (setting offi ce temperatures higher in the summer and lower in the winter, and allow-ing employees to dress accordingly), the installation of LED lighting, and the planting of greenery on our head offi ce building. The Group has also made the “Fun to Share” declaration toward the realization of a low-carbon society.
