Through the Treasury Unit of SMBC, SMFG aims to offer increasingly higher value-added services to meet the ever more sophisticated and diverse needs of its clients for transac-tions in the money, foreign exchange, bond and derivatives markets.

To maintain and further increase profitability, while managing risks appropriately, the Treasury Unit focuses on the follow-ing three goals: (a) expanding transaction volume generated from its clients; (b) strengthening its asset-liability management (ALM) system and trading skills; and (c) clearly focusing on the portfolio management.

The Treasury Unit will continue working to fulfill all our clients’ market transaction needs by offering full support services of the highest quality in the industry. At the same time, by pur-suing its ALM and trading operations while controlling market and liquidity risks, the Unit will seek to generate a consistent stream of earnings by ensuring appropriate risk allocation in changing market conditions.
