Reason for this visit

Recently, investors have called to ask for more exposure of Japanese licensees whose actual addresses are inconsistent with the regulatory addresses. Based on the feedback from investors and the work plan of the survey team, the survey team are going to visit MONEX GROUP, a licensed dealer in Japan, to learn more about the actual situation.

On-site visit

According to the regulatory information, the dealer MONEX GROUP is licensed by the Japanese regulator and located at 1-12-32 Akasaka, Minato-ku, Tokyo. The survey team thus decided to have an on-site visit to this regulatory address for confirmation.

The office of the dealer MONEX GROUP was located in the ARK Mori Building between Roppongi Ichotome and Oomeyama-Ou Station. The ARK Mori Building, a business complex with offices and restaurants & stores, was packed at lunchtime. As a permit was required to enter the building, the surveyors could only take photos outside the building, not inside. However, they had found the nameplate of the dealer.

Conclusion

The survey team went to visit the dealer MONEX GROUP in Tokyo, Japan as planned. The dealer’s logo can be found on the publicly displayed address, indicating that the dealer had a real business place. However, the surveyors failed to enter the company for further visit, so the specific scale of the business remained unknown. Please be prudent when trading with this broker.
