Based on my personal experience researching and evaluating Shin as a trading option, I found that their core offerings are quite different from what I’d usually expect as a forex trader. Shin primarily focuses on traditional investment products within Japan, such as domestic stocks, investment trusts, and bonds. In my analysis, I could not identify any support for forex trading, indices, cryptocurrencies, or commodities. This limited range stands out to me; as someone who values diversification and access to global markets and asset classes, Shin’s selection is narrowly focused on classic securities. The rationale behind this appears to be their specialization in serving novice Japanese investors, providing low fees and guidance on products like NISA tax-free accounts. While regulated by Japan's Financial Services Agency, and thus enjoying a degree of oversight and credibility, Shin’s lack of an online trading platform also restricts accessibility and flexibility. For anyone used to trading a wide spectrum of instruments, especially in the forex or crypto space, this platform wouldn’t align with your needs. Personally, while I appreciate Shin’s regulatory status and investor protections, I find their limited product scope a significant constraint. If your trading interests extend beyond domestic stocks, investment trusts, and bonds, it may be prudent to consider alternatives.
