Thanks Visa Kannan we're privileged to get your input into the Habitto journey
🎵 Things are easy when you're big in Japan Oh, when you're big in Japan 🎵 (Link to the very-catchy, karaoke-friendly song in the first comment) The team and investors of Habitto spent a fruitful day planning out just *how* we were going to get "big in Japan". It's trite to claim that every market is different and has to be won with a different strategy, but examples of this to learn from/be inspired by are always helpful reminders of where market insight can lead to success. 1/ Mebuki Financial Group (めぶき証券（株）) and the bet on life expectancy: Investment AUM at Mebuki has doubled in the last 4 years and is at the same level as Mizuho despite having a significantly lower deposit-base (>10x lower). The key unlock has come from leaning into their knowledge of gerontology and helping customers plan for “the 100-year life” and the worries and concerns that come with it. (details on page 71 of their annual report: link in comments) 2/ SmartBank and joint accounts: The investing world in India and SEA has largely moved away from the add-on cards, kids cards play that saw huge investing tailwinds in 2020 and 2021. In Japan though, it seems to be working because "joint accounts" are not prevalent. Even 20 years ago, when my parents were giving me money to spend in college, it was via a joint account - where I had access to a card and my mother could see all my spends, and control it by putting in as much money as required and nothing more. Similar thesis for SmartBank, but it works in Japan because the concept of "joint accounts" is novel. This brings us to Habitto and the bet on the "thicker middle". In most markets, like the US and India, wealth distribution is top-heavy, i.e., highly unequal with High Net Worth individuals owning majority of the wealth. This is not true in Japan. The inheritance tax regime has created a society where the bulk of wealth sits with the "middle". And this "middle" has largely always just parked their money in bank deposits. What this means is that we have the opportunity to provide wealth management, at scale. Not a white-gloved private banking service, but a more tech-enabled way to onboard millions of customers, offer them personalised products and partner with them to be on the journey from savings to investments. That's how Habitto is going to be big in Japan.
