With SUSTEN, you can manage your assets with just your smartphone. It's an automated asset management service (investment automation) that includes a NISA optimization function*, a feature not found in other asset management services.
You don't need to know much about investing or NISA. SUSTEN automatically builds a portfolio tailored to you.
[SUSTEN Features]
■ Fully automated management
A simple diagnosis determines a portfolio (asset allocation) that suits you.
No need to choose individual stocks; it allows for diversified investment worldwide, constantly incorporating ever-evolving investment theories.
Fees are among the lowest in the industry, at 0.11-0.54% per annum (including tax)*.
*Includes actual costs incurred from investment targets. The upper limit may change in the future depending on the addition of new types of investment trusts.
■ Fully compatible with the new NISA
With SUSTEN, whether you make monthly contributions or a lump-sum deposit, your deposited funds are automatically optimally allocated to the "accumulation investment limit" and the "growth investment limit"*. We'll maximize your use of the increasingly complex NISA tax-free allowance on your behalf.
*This refers to what we consider to be the optimal use of the system.
■Deposit and Withdraw Anytime, Automatic Investment
SUSTEN allows you to deposit money whenever you want and withdraw it anytime*. Using the automatic investment function makes it even more convenient, allowing you to steadily increase your funds.
*Withdrawals are transferred to your designated bank account within a minimum of 3 business days from application.

[Features Supporting Optimal Asset Management]
■ Automatic Tax-Exempt Investment Function (NISA Account Applicable)
NISA has an investment limit. If deposits exceed that limit, SUSTEN will initially invest the excess amount in a taxable account. Then, when the limit is restored or increased, it will be automatically moved to the tax-exempt account, preventing the loss of investment opportunities.
■ Limit Saving Function (NISA Account Applicable)
According to market trends, transactions that save the use of new NISA limits are automatically executed.
■ Two-Stage Automatic Rebalancing
The status of each customer's portfolio is checked daily. SUSTEN maintains the optimal balance of your portfolio through a two-stage rebalancing process: rebalancing between its three proprietary funds and rebalancing within each fund.
■Tax Efficiency Optimization
SUSTEN's specified account (with withholding tax) automatically calculates and pays taxes incurred from transactions on your behalf. Furthermore, to reduce your tax burden, it executes trades that realize unrealized gains and losses.
*Depending on market conditions, fund flows, and other factors, the above-mentioned investment strategy may not be possible.
■Currency Hedging
Currency hedging (reducing the risk of exchange rate fluctuations) is implemented according to the role of each fund.
Compared to general index investing or robo-advisors that do not consider exchange rate risk, SUSTEN tends to underperform during periods of yen depreciation, but it plays a role in protecting asset value during periods of yen appreciation.
■Tax-Exempt Transfer Transactions (NISA Account Eligible)
If you are investing in both a NISA account and a taxable account, SUSTEN compares the expected returns of securities held in both accounts and automatically performs transfer transactions to minimize future tax costs in the taxable account.
