FinTech Global

What FinTech Global does

FGI - FinTech Global Incorporated is a Tokyo-headquartered, publicly listed Japanese boutique investment bank and financial services group operating on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Standard Market. The company operates across four interlocking business lines: investment banking (financing arrangement, securitization, project finance, and advisory), investment operations (principal capital deployment in PE and equity-method investee companies including Sharing Energy, DG Fuels, Vook, and Flatt Security), asset management (real estate, securities, and alternative investment funds via FinTech Asset Management and FGI Capital Partners), and regional/community solutions anchored by direct operation of the Metsä Village Nordic lifestyle destination and Moomin Valley Park theme park in Hanno City, Saitama.

The company's technology stack is built around financial engineering and deal-structuring capabilities rather than software product — notably asset-backed securitization of real estate, film/creative content, and infrastructure (including digital securities issuance via the Okasan Securities joint venture), project finance for renewable energy installations with rating acquisition, and an aviation asset management platform operated through SGI-Aviation Services that reached a 500-aircraft registration milestone on the Guernsey registry. The integrated model combines balance-sheet capital with deal-sourcing distribution to Japanese securities firms, banks, and municipalities.

The revenue model is multi-stream: transaction-based arrangement/advisory fees on financed deals, AUM-based recurring management fees, aviation operating lease income (with the company actively divesting lease assets as of May 2026), principal investment gains on PE exits (an explicit Q2 FY26 PE income disclosure was issued), and operating revenue from the theme park complex. Customer segments span real estate developers, municipal governments, renewable energy operators, aviation investors, mid-market companies seeking succession/revitalization, and institutional investors. The group is led by President and Representative Director Nobumitsu Tamai and is supported by ~50–100 employees and a network of wholly-owned subsidiaries including Moomin Monogatari Co., Ltd., Rights and Brands Inc., and Aviner Co., Ltd.
