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.

Field Survey Process

This issue's field research team traveled to Tokyo as planned to conduct an on-site inspection of the brokerage GMO-Z.com. Publicly available information lists its office address as SHIBUYA FUKURAS, 1-2-3, Dogenzaka, Shibuya-Ku, Tokyo, 150-0043.

With a sense of responsibility to rigorously verify the company's operations for investors, the professional and experienced field research team traveled to Tokyo according to a carefully crafted plan. Based on the address, they conducted an on-site inspection of the brokerage GMO-Z.com.

Based on the address information, the field research team traveled to the Dogenzaka area of Shibuya Ward, Tokyo, searching for GMO-Z.com located at SHIBUYA FUKURAS. The field research team successfully arrived at the building, located adjacent to a major shopping mall in Shibuya. 

The office building boasts a luxurious environment and a bustling streetscape. The overall environment of the company campus and surrounding streets is luxurious, and the field research team successfully captured panoramic photos of the building. The inspection team was able to enter the company lobby and clearly saw the GMO-Z.com company name on a sign inside the building. The company logo was also displayed inside and outside the building.

The inspection team was able to reach the specific floor and confirm the company's location. The front desk, located directly on the first floor, was also found, and they successfully photographed the reception desk, which bore the company logo. The inspection team was able to enter the building, but was unable to proceed further because the company's interior was located further inside. The address was not a shared office, and the company's internal office environment was described as luxurious.

Thus, the inspection confirmed that the brokerage GMO-Z.com actually existed at the aforementioned address, and it matched the address listed on the inspection form.

Field Survey Summary

The surveyors visited GMO-Z.com as planned and observed the broker's company name and logo 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.
