Mitsui's Digital Securities Fund Success

Mitsui Bussan Digital Asset Management has announced a groundbreaking early redemption of its digital securities fund, "Mitsui Bussan's Digital Securities - Asakusa (Transfer Restrictions Applied)." This marks the first instance of early redemption within the fund offered through its asset management service, ALTERNA, launched in May 2023. The early redemption has been supported by substantial gains from property and asset sales, allowing for a notable investment performance that exceeded expectations.

The initial issue price was set at 100,000 yen per share, and the total payout amounted to 107,644 yen per share over the investment period, which equates to an annual return of 6.1% (before tax), significantly higher than the initially forecasted 4.3%. This impressive return was primarily driven by profits from property sales. The operating period was originally planned for around five years, but Mitsui's decision to opt for early redemption, after approximately 1.3 years, was made in the interest of maximizing investor profits.

Digital securities, established under the revised Financial Instruments and Exchange Act in May 2020, utilize blockchain technology and other systems for tokenizing and transferring rights. The Japanese digital securities market has expanded rapidly, with cumulative issuance exceeding 200 billion yen by June 2025.
