Japan Airlines (JAL) has entered into a capital and business alliance with Funds, which operates the Japanese investment management service “Funds.”
The purpose of the alliance is to maximize medium- to long-term synergy and expand mutual transactions. In the initial phase, JAL will offer mileage accrual when customers open an account and start investing via a dedicated JAL website, as well as provide mileage rewards based on investment performance through special benefits.
The two companies already have a track record of collaboration: as a proof-of-concept asset management project for JAL Mileage Bank members, they offered the “JAL Mileage Fund” twice, starting in July 2025. The target yield was an annual rate of 1%, with an investment period of about three months. Bonus miles were also awarded according to the investment amount.
