FPG announces strong dividends, strategic expansion as sales jump

Financial Partners Group (FPG) announced a FY2025 annual dividend of 130.40 yen per share, comprising an interim dividend of 65.20 yen and a year-end dividend of 65.20 yen, representing a 60.3% consolidated payout ratio. This follows strong FY2025 performance, with consolidated net sales reaching 129.76 bn yen, a 20.4% increase year-over-year, largely due to record sales in its Leasing Fund and Domestic Real Estate Fund businesses. For FY2026, FPG forecasts slightly higher net sales of 130.50 bn yen and anticipates an annual dividend of 125.40 yen per share, aligning with a 50% payout ratio.

Key growth drivers for FY2025 included the Leasing Fund Business, which saw equity placement sales soar to 233.2 bn yen, and the Domestic Real Estate Fund Business, achieving a record 94.9 bn yen in sales of fractional ownership products. FPG also expanded its sales network to 18 offices and launched "F.bit No. 1," Japan's first fractional aircraft investment product for individual investors, which sold out quickly. Moving forward, the company plans to focus on active arrangement and sales in domestic real estate and continued monitoring of US interest rates for its international real estate fund business.
