Subsidy for the Outsourcing of Middle and Back Office Operations

In the “Global Financial City: Tokyo” Vision released by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government (TMG) on November 10, 2017, “support for organization building of asset management businesses” was listed as one initiative to be taken to achieve the vision. Based on this guideline, the TMG has established a system in which a subsidy is provided to partially cover the costs of outsourcing middle and back office operations. To be eligible for this scheme, the subsidized business as well as the outsourcing provider must receive TMG recognition as a “Qualified Emerging Asset Manager” (Qualified EM)^*1 and “Qualified Outsourcing Provider” ^*2, respectively. The TMG is now calling for applications from businesses wishing to receive this recognition.

*1 Qualified EM: An emerging asset manager or an overseas asset manager newly developing business in Tokyo, which has received recognition by the TMG.
*2 Qualified Outsourcing Provider: Trust banks, BPO service providers and others recognized by the TMG as a provider of middle and back office operations for the asset management business.
