Management Policy



(a)   Principle Management Policy

We aim to become Japan's strongest securities group and maximize group corporate
value, by developing its securities related businesses by utilizing the holding
company structure and concentrating group management resources on securities
related businesses.



(b)   Principle Policy on the Distribution of Profits

We aim to continuously maximize shareholder value including the distribution of
profits.

We will pay dividends every half of the year based on approximately 30% pay-out
ratio, in consideration of reflecting our financial performance on a
consolidated basis.  We are very conscious of maintaining a stable dividend flow
for our investors.  We will positively return a part of the profits to investors
by the means of purchasing our own stocks and so on if we achieve a sufficient
level of profits to grow up our business.

We will pay an interim dividend of 12 yen per share, according to the decision
of The Board on 28th, October.  The pay-out ratio of this period will be 34.8%.



(c)    Principle Policy on New Unit Share System

We recognize that reducing the number of shares per unit is an important measure
to contribute to the expansion of the investor base and to the revitalization of
the Japanese stock market.

Taking into consideration our business results, share price level and advantages
and disadvantages to the shareholders and the Company, we are looking into
timing, methods and other details for lowering the minimum share trading unit of
our shares.



(d)   Mid to Long Term Management Targets

We have created a new medium-term management plan titled 'Best Brand Daiwa 2005'
for the three-year period from FY2003 to FY2005.

In the group medium-term management plan, we declare following two points as the
medium-term management goals.



(1)   In order for the Group to achieve sustainable growth, we have to be
identified as the leading company by not only its financial results as a
consequence, but also its customer satisfaction.  Therefore, we will aim to
become the number one in quality of products and services as a whole group for
the next three years.

(2)   Under tough management circumstance, we endeavor to raise the capability
of each employee and rationalize the business process across the whole group
without easy expansion of corporate scale.  By enhancing the structure to
provide customers with high-quality products and services promptly and
effectively, we will aim to become the number one in productivity.



Based on the policy mentioned above, we will aim to achieve sustainable growth
by pursuing best-balanced consolidated profit structure and attempting to
reinforce the cooperative relationship within the Group companies.



As for the inter-group measures, we are trying to strengthen the total power of
Daiwa Securities Group according to the policies below.



(1)   Personnel policies

We will manage and establish a unique personnel structure that reflects the
needs of each business entity while balancing the needs of the Group as a whole.

We will aim to build satisfactory personnel system by enhancing
performance-based evaluation system, providing diverse career options, and
implementing a fair evaluation system.  Specifically, we will promote management
level personnel exchanges within the Group companies and extend the intra-group
job posting system to improve employees' career management.

And, we grow talented people by continuously holding of management development
programs such as 'Daiwa Management Academy' and a wide variety of training
programs.



(2)   Finance strategy

We will appropriately allocate management resources mainly in securities related
businesses, maintaining the financial stability of the Group as a whole.  To
catch profit chances promptly, we establish the financial base with margin for
suitable capital investment.



(3)   Public relations / Investors relations strategy

Based on the Disclosure Policy that defines the Group's attitude toward
disclosure of corporate information, we will endeavor to achieve fair and timely
disclosure so that all stakeholders including shareholders, investors, and
securities analysts understand and maintain realistic expectations of the Group.

And, we will aim to establish the Group brand by putting consistent, effective
and active advertisements to continuously send the Group's vision and endeavor
through various means of media.





(4)   Information technology (IT) strategy

While reinforcing IT functions that contribute to our core businesses, we will
establish the IT governance structure to appropriately manage and evaluate IT
investments that have been increasing every year.



Besides, mid to long term management strategies for the Group's each business
are as follows.



(1)   Retail (Daiwa Securities)

In addition to various program to improve sales staffs' consulting skills, Daiwa
Securities will establish structure to quickly offer products that meet customer
needs by enhancing its marketing function. Besides focusing on the
equity-related business and equity investment trusts, we aim to become No.1 in
each three key business: Daiwa Direct, Daiwa SMA, and the securities
intermediation business.  Attaching importance to these three fields, we will
further expand our customer base and increase assets under custody.  We will
improve products and services in quality, aim to become the number one brokerage

the whole Group's ability.

comprehensive solutions and offering high-quality products based on integrated
product development and marketing system throughout the Group.  By  efficient
management resources allocation, we also attempt to expand diversified business
lines that won't be affected by the market condition.

Furthermore, we will reinforce businesses such as M&A and principal finance to
attempt to improve the company presence as an investment bank that contributes
to vitalization of Japanese economy.



(3)    Investment (Daiwa Securities SMBC PI, NIF SMBC Ventures)

Daiwa Securities SMBC PI fosters the emergence of new industries, by investing

high-quality management resources. In addition to the expertise accumulated for
years, we will expand the network to spot potential investment prospects,

capabilities, by using network and expertise of Daiwa Securities Group and
Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group.



(4)   Asset management (Daiwa Asset Management, Daiwa SB Investments)

improve fund management capabilities and product development capabilities.  It
will also thoroughly manage fund quality and accountability for investors.

proposal capabilities about branch offices of Daiwa Securities Group. It also
offers business solutions by consulting on real estate and building management,
and aims to strengthen the business by cooperating with Group members.





(e)   Current Challenges

Japanese capital markets diversify in many ways in both asset management and
fund raising businesses.

The Japanese economy has recovered from a long period of decline.  The capital
markets must sufficiently carry out its original function, which is to meet all
these expectations above, for the economy to go back on a new growth track.  We
recognize that the Group's social mission is to meet these expectations.  Our
challenge for this fiscal year is to show our presence with high business
performance as a main player in the capital market.

On this understanding, we have made management policy in FY2005 'Power and
scale', and we have announced the policy that we especially concentrate on the
equity business.



As the economy starts to pick up, risk capital such as equity will draw
attention in both asset management and fund raising businesses.

It has been said that we move 'from saving to investing' for a long time. Now
that financial assets of individuals have started to inflow into the stock
market, the demand for high quality consultancy in equity investments is growing
especially in retail business.

Maximizing shareholder value is an important issue for companies as
reorganization becomes common practice and the presence of institutional and
foreign shareholders increases.  Under this environment, the wholesale business
expertise in equity is required not only in the traditional trading or
underwriting businesses, but also in various areas such as M&A and private
equity.  The Group will further improve its skills in both asset management and
financing to provide high-quality solutions to its clients.

Moreover, the Group will achieve high performance, particularly in equity
investment trusts, and work to direct individual financial assets to the capital
market.

In this country, there is still a big market where we have not set foot yet. So
we can say that financial service business is a growth industry in 21st century.

Under such an environment, the Group, with the ability to handle risk which is
required for those engaged in the capital market and with the advantage as a
major financial group which provides full range of securities services, will try
to accurately grasp changes in the market and utilize its high professionalism
to take advantage of large scale business opportunities with speed and vigor.
And the Group will endeavor to achieve a No.1 position in various strategic
areas, demonstrate high business performance, lead the Japanese economy to
recovery, and earn the trust from a wide range of stakeholders.



(f)    Basic notion concerning the corporate governance, and the present
condition of the policy (Basic notion concerning the corporate governance)

(1)   Where globalization and institutionalization of markets have been
progressing and structure of corporate governance has been emphasized in
investment decision, the Group that practices group management with holding
company structure will establish its corporate governance structure that has as
high transparency and objectivity as the global standard.  In addition, we will
realize high efficiency and specialty in administration function for the group
companies, promote the group operation with high accountability, and establish
the group management structure with a sense of unity, which puts out synergy
between each group company.



(2)   We suppose that the corporate governance is a structure to put CSR into
practice.  CSR has so many aspects, including offering superior products and
services to customers, dealing with customers sincerely, bringing a reasonable
profit to shareholders and disclosing information to them, taking steps to
improve the work environment for employees and evaluate personnel, as well as
assuring legal compliance, corporate ethics, environmental management and social
contributions. We will organize appropriate structure to put CSR into practice,
always asking ourselves if the action will win the trust of society.  Therefore,
by publishing sustainability report since FY2002, we disclose information about
our social responsibility and our endeavor for sustainable management in terms
of economy, society, and environment, and considering broader stakeholders.



(3)   The general shareholders' meeting of the Company in June 2004 featured a
vote to revise the Articles of Incorporation and transition to a 'committee
system' of corporate governance based on the 2002 revisions to the Commercial
Code. Consequently, the Group increased the number of Outside Directors from two
to four. The Group also established three committees -Nominating, Audit, and
Compensation Committees- and Outside Directors constitute more than half the
membership of each committee. This system reinforced the supervisory function of
the Board of Directors. To improve agility in decision making, the Group
delegated a broad range of authorities from the Board of Directors to the
Executive Officers and clarified the Officers' management responsibilities.



(The Present Condition of Corporate Governance Structure)

(A)  Group Management Infrastructure for decision-making, business execution,
and supervision on management

Daiwa's corporate governance structure is composed mainly of the Board of
Directors and three committees; the Nominating, Audit and Compensation
Committees as the Group management supervisory system, Executive Committee and
its subcommittees; Internal Control Committee, Disclosure Committee and Group IT
Strategic Meeting as the Group management activity execution mechanism.


a. Organization

(i)    The Board of Directors

        Headed by a Chairman, the Board of Directors, consisting of 13 members,
hold meetings at least once every three months.       The authority of the Board
is delegated to Corporate Executive Officers to maximum extent possible in order
to strengthen the Group operational control function.  The Board decides such
matters as basic management policies, matters needed for performance of the
Audit Committee, and matters related to dividing the duties of Corporate
Executive Officers and the decision making process.  The number of the outside
directors is four.



(ii)   Nominating, Audit and Compensation Committees

        We established three committees; the Nominating, Audit and Compensation
Committees as internal organizations of the Board of Directors, based on the
Commercial Code.  Majority of each committee consists of outside directors.

        A brief profile of each committee is as follows.





        The Committee mainly determines the content of proposals to appoint and
dismiss Directors, submitted to the general shareholders' meeting for their
approval.  The Chairman of the Board chairs the committee, while three out of
five committee members are outside directors.





        The Committee engages in the following businesses: inspecting the duties
of Directors and Corporate Executive Officers, determining the content of
proposals to appoint and dismiss accounting auditors (submitted to the general
shareholders' meeting for their approval), demanding a stop to any improper
conduct by Corporate Executive Officers, auditing accounts and writing
accounting reports.  Additionally, the committee works with an internal audit
department to carry out its duties as needed.  A director who does not have
another concurrent post chairs the committee, while two out of three committee
members are outside directors.





        The Committee sets policies for deciding compensation of individual
Directors and Corporate Executive Officers and determines compensation content
for each individual.  The Chairman of the Board chairs the committee, while
three out of five committee members are outside directors.



(iii) Executive Committee

        Committee members are all Corporate Executive Officers.  Meetings are
held in principle once in a month.

        The Executive Committee deliberates and rules on cross-Group business
strategy and management issues and on important financial matters.  The
authority is transferred from the Board to Corporate Executive Officers to
maximum extent possible by law, except matters that the Board has to decide, in
order to accelerate decision-making.

        The Committee has subcommittees; Internal Control Committee, Disclosure
Committee and Group IT Strategic Meeting.  Internal Control Committee analyzes
and decides matters concerning the improvement of internal control, risk
management systems and the internal audit system of the Group.  The Committee
holds a meeting in principle once every three months.

        Disclosure Committee monitors important information, determines what
information to disclose and so on to assure disclosure that is fair, timely and
appropriate.

        Group IT Strategic Meeting proposes the IT investment budget, appoints
system personnel appropriate, reorganizes Group system departments, evaluates
and monitors IT investment implementation at Group companies, deliberates issues
concerning cross-Group system development, and so on.



b. The present condition of internal control structure

        Internal Control Committee discusses and decides matters concerning the
improvement of internal control, risk management systems and the internal audit
system of the Group. As we recognize internal audit as an important function to
strengthen our internal control structure, we have established internal audit
function to perform audit comprehensively on a consolidated basis. Major group
companies have their own internal audit departments, and to the companies that
do not have internal audit function, the Company's Internal Audit Department

Notes to consolidated financial statements

Concerning Securities Companies' (Prime Minister's Office Ordinance and Ministry
of Finance Ordinance No. 32, 1998), and the 'Uniform Accounting Standards of
Securities Companies' (set by the board of directors of the Japan Securities
Dealers' Association, November 14, 1974), based on the 'Regulations of
Consolidated Financial Statements' (Ministry of Finance Ordinance No. 24, 1998)
and its Article 48 and 69.

total assets, operating revenues (or sales), net income corresponding to equity
holdings and retained earnings corresponding to equity holdings of
non-consolidated subsidiaries has little influence on the consolidated financial
statements and has little materiality as a whole.



2. Application of equity method

Affiliates applicable of equity method: 6 companies

Major companies:

Daiwa SB Investments Ltd.

Daiwa SMBC-SSC Securities Co. Ltd.

Totan Holdings Co., Ltd.

The Tokyo Tanshi Co., Ltd.

One company is newly added to the scope of equity method due to purchase of
shares during this first half.  Each amount of net income corresponding to
equity holdings and retained earnings corresponding to equity holdings of both
non-consolidated subsidiaries and affiliates inapplicable of equity method has
little influence on the consolidated financial statements and has little
materiality as a whole.

For affiliates applicable of equity method whose first half other than September
30, 2005, the financial statements for the relevant first half are reflected.



3. Fiscal period of subsidiaries

For subsidiaries with the first half ending other than September 30, 2005, the
financial statements for the relevant first half are employed and important
transactions occurred by discrepancies with closing account date are adjusted
for this consolidated financial statements.



4. Accounting policies

(1) Valuation of financial instruments and inventories

(i) Valuation of trading assets and liabilities

Trading assets and liabilities, including securities and financial derivatives
for trading purposes held by a securities company are recorded mainly on a trade
date basis in the consolidated balance sheet at either market or fair value.



(ii) Valuation of non-trading securities

The Group examines the intent of holding each securities and classifies those
securities as (a) debt securities intended to be held to maturity ('
held-to-maturity debt securities'), (b) equity securities issued by subsidiaries
and affiliated companies, or (c) all other securities not classified in any of
the above categories ('available-for-sale securities').



Held-to-maturity debt securities are stated at amortized cost.  Equity
securities issued by subsidiaries and affiliated companies are stated at
moving-average cost.  Available-for-sale securities with market value are stated
at market value, based on quoted market prices.  Realized gains and losses on
sale of such securities are computed using the moving-average cost.  Unrealized
gains and losses on these securities are reported, net of applicable income
taxes, as a separate component of the shareholders' equity.



Debt in available-for-sale securities for which a market value is not available,
are stated at the amortized cost, net of the amount considered not collectible.
Equity in available-for-sale securities for which a market value is not
available, are stated at the moving-average cost.



Of those securities with no fair value, share of net income raised by the
investments in limited partnerships has been reflected on consolidated
statements of operations of last fiscal year and share of net unrealized profits
and losses held by the partnerships directly into stockholders' equity.



(iii) Valuation of other inventories

Cost method determined by the specific identification method is mainly applied.



(2) Depreciation of depreciable assets

(i)    Tangible fixed assets

Property and equipment are stated at cost.  The Company and domestic
consolidated subsidiaries compute depreciation principally by the
declining-balance method over estimated useful lives as stipulated by
Corporation Tax Law of Japan.  Depreciation for buildings purchased in Japan
after April 1, 1998 is computed by the straight-line method.  In overseas
consolidated subsidiaries, depreciation is mainly computed by the straight-line
method.

(ii)   Intangible fixed assets

Intangible fixed assets are generally amortized under the straight-line method.
The Company and domestic consolidated subsidiaries compute amortization over
estimated useful lives as stipulated by Corporation Tax Law of Japan, and over
internally estimated useful lives (5 years) for software of in-house use.



(3) Accounting policies for various provisions

(i)    Provision for doubtful accounts

Provisions for doubtful accounts are provided based on the estimated historical
default rate for normal loans, and based on individually assessed amounts for
doubtful accounts.

(ii)   Allowance for possible investment losses

Some consolidated subsidiaries provide the allowances based on estimated losses
on private equity and other securities held at the first half end, assessing the
financial conditions of investee companies.

(iii) Accrued bonuses

The Company and domestic consolidated subsidiaries follow the Japanese practice
of paying bonuses to employees in June and December.  Accrued employees' bonuses
represent liabilities estimated as of the balance sheet date.  Bonuses to
directors and corporate executive officers of the Company, which are subject to
approval at the Compensation Committee, represent liabilities as of the balance
sheet date.  Compensation Committee sets policies for deciding compensation of
individual directors and corporate executive officers and determines
compensation content for each individual.  The Chairman of the Board chairs the
committee, while three out of five committee members are outside directors.
Bonuses to directors of consolidated subsidiaries, which are subject to approval
at the shareholders' meeting, are accounted for as an appropriation of retained
earnings.

(iv)  Retirement benefits

The Company and most of domestic consolidated subsidiaries provide an unfunded
defined contribution plan to their employees in return for services rendered
each year, where the amount to be contributed to the individual employee's
account is defined by the plan.  Contributions by the Company and most of
domestic consolidated subsidiaries under the unfunded defined contribution plan
are accumulated on an annual basis and earn a guaranteed hypothetical return at
a rate predetermined by the Company and most of domestic consolidated
subsidiaries each year.



(4) Accounting for certain lease transactions

Financial leases, whose ownership does not transfer to the lessee at the end of
the lease term (non-capitalized finance leases) are not capitalized and are
accounted for in the same manner as operating leases.



(5) Hedging transaction

The Group states derivative financial instruments at fair value and recognizes
changes in the fair value as gains or losses unless the derivative financial
instruments are used for hedging purposes.  Valuation gains or losses on hedging
instruments are mainly deferred as assets or liabilities until the gains or
losses on the underlying hedged instruments are realized.  Interest received or
paid on interest swaps for hedging purposes is accrued without being
marked-to-market.  The premium or discount on forward foreign exchange for
hedging purpose is allocated to each fiscal term without being marked-to-market.



(6) Other material items

(i)    Accounting for consumption taxes

Consumption taxes are separately recorded.

(ii)   Deferred assets

Stock issue costs and bond issue costs are amortized in a lump sum when
incurred.



(iii) Consolidated tax payments system

The consolidated tax payments system is applied.



5. Scope of 'Cash and cash equivalents' in consolidated cash flow statements

'Cash and cash equivalents' in consolidated cash flow statements is defined as
liquid fund including cash in hand, current account deposits, and ordinary
deposits.



Change in presentation

Regarding the investments in limited partnerships and a sort of partnerships
which are regarded as equivalent to securities by the Article2 (2) of Securities
Exchange Act, the profits and losses related to these investments had been
included in 'Interest and dividend income' until fiscal 2004, but those are
included in 'Net gain (loss) on private equity and other securities' since the
beginning of this fiscal year.  'Interest and dividend income' decreased by
6,266 million yen, due to this change in presentation.





Subsequent Events

NIF Ventures Co., Ltd., a consolidated subsidiary of Daiwa Securities Group
Inc., changed the company name to NIF SMBC Ventures., Ltd. following the merger
of SMBC Capital Co., Ltd. on October 1, 2005.  This merger has little effect on
the consolidated financial statements.
