2. Operating model
Sony Life strongly emphasizes consultative / planner-led life-insurance distribution. In JapanFG, it is kept separate from sony-fg so that the sony-bank internet-bank model, Sony group financial reorganization, and the insurance / banking / non-life cross-sell surface can be tracked separately.
Its positioning becomes clearer when compared with traditional mutual insurers, the stock-company insurer model of dai-ichi-life, the online-direct model of lifenet, and the ecosystem model of rakuten-life.
3. Why this page matters
- The sony-fg parent page alone does not expose the life-insurance operating license.
- Sony FG’s 2025 listing / group-reorganization watch needs operating-company anchors.
- Useful for channel-mix comparison in life-insurance-channel-mix.
