SBI Holdings Submits IPO Application for AI FinTech Unit FOLIO Holdings
SBI Holdings has announced that its consolidated subsidiary, FOLIO Holdings, has formally applied for an initial public offering (IPO) on the Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE).
FOLIO Holdings, in which SBI Group holds a 69.42% controlling stake, develops AI-driven asset management systems and financial infrastructure solutions. The Tokyo-based FinTech firm operates two primary subsidiaries: FOLIO, which handles discretionary investment management and advisory services, and Alpaca Tech, which specializes in institutional research, analytics, and system integration tools.
According to SBI Holdings, the listing is intended to accelerate FOLIO Holdings’ growth in financial services and unlock deeper operational synergies across the broader group.
The application remains subject to regulatory review by Japan Exchange Regulation prior to potential TSE approval. Both companies noted that neither the approval nor the timing of the listing has been finalized. SBI Holdings confirmed it will issue additional updates as disclosure requirements dictate.
