Reasons for Field Survey

The Japanese foreign exchange market is one of the world's most important forex trading markets, boasting a long history, a mature financial system, and strict regulatory mechanisms. It holds a crucial position in the global forex market. With numerous participants and high trading activity, it is subject to strict oversight by regulatory agencies such as the Financial Services Agency of Japan, ensuring the market's standardized operation. To help investors gain a more comprehensive understanding of the actual operations of forex dealers in the region, the field research team conducted an on-site visit to Japan.

Field Survey Process

This issue's field research team once again focuses on Tokyo-based brokerage Rakuten Securities, whose public office address is 2-6-21 Minami-Aoyama, Minato-ku, Tokyo.

Based on this address, the professional field research team conducted a thorough investigation.

The field research team arrived at the building where the address is located. The entire building is owned by the Rakuten Group. The corporate campus and surrounding streets are bustling with activity, creating a vibrant commercial atmosphere and a blend of high-end business and fashionable culture. The field research team successfully captured a panoramic view of the building. The exterior features a prominent sign and company logo, clearly identifying the Rakuten Group.

During this field research, the field research team was unable to enter the building lobby due to security guards on the first floor. The building displayed the name Rakuten Securities, presumably because the entire building is under the unified management of the Rakuten Group and uses the group's logo.

Although the field research team was unable to enter the building, they were able to capture the reception desk and its logo through the glass outside the door. The company logo is clearly visible inside the building. We have confirmed that the location is not a shared office, fully confirming the presence of Rakuten Securities at the address.

Thus, our on-site inspection confirms the presence of Rakuten Securities at the aforementioned address.

Field Survey Summary

The surveyors visited Rakuten Securities accordingly as planned and observed the broker's company name displayed prominently at the publicly shown business address, indicating the physical presence of the broker's business. Investors are advised to take all factors into consideration before making a decision.
