Sony Financial Holdings

Sony Financial Holdings Inc. (SFH) is a financial services subsidiary of Sony Group Corporation, offering a range of financial products and services in Japan. SFH provides life insurance, non-life insurance, banking, and other financial services through its subsidiaries such as Sony Life, Sony Assurance, and Sony Bank. The company offers products including life insurance policies, automotive insurance, banking services, and asset management. SFH aims to leverage Sony's technology and brand to provide innovative financial solutions and enhance customer value. In July 2020, Sony completed the acquisition of the remaining shares of SFH to make it a wholly-owned subsidiary, aiming to strengthen governance and pursue further growth and synergies within Sony's financial services business. In May 2023, Sony announced plans to spin off and partially list SFH within 2-3 years, while retaining slightly under 20% ownership, to allow SFH more independence in fundraising for future growth while maintaining synergies with the Sony Group.
