TOKYO -- Japanese electronics company NEC is branching into the financial advisory business via a newly acquired fintech company and will develop the service by supporting its own employees' efforts to boost their assets and wealth, Nikkei has learned.

The move comes as Japan's government encourages companies to strengthen support for asset formation to support the economy.
