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 traveled to Tokyo as planned to conduct an on-site inspection of the brokerage firm MONEX. Publicly available information lists its office address as 1-12-32 Akasaka, Minato-ku, Tokyo, 107-6025.

With a sense of responsibility to rigorously verify information for investors, the professional and experienced field research team traveled to Tokyo according to a carefully planned plan. They conducted an on-site inspection of the brokerage firm MONEX based on the aforementioned address.

Based on the address information, the field research team traveled to the Akasaka area of Tokyo's Minato-ku district and conducted an on-site inspection of the brokerage firm, which claimed to be located at 1-12-32 Akasaka, Minato-ku, Tokyo, 107-6025.

The field research team successfully arrived at the building at the address, a luxurious office building in Roppongi, with a luxurious corporate campus and surrounding streets. From the exterior, the field research team successfully captured a panoramic view of the building, and no MONEX logo was found either inside or outside. The inspection team successfully entered the building lobby. A sign inside the lobby clearly displayed the MONEX company name and the company's location on the 17th floor.

However, due to the company's strict access control system, the inspection team was unable to reach the specific floor or confirm the company's location, and therefore could not enter the building. From what they learned, the company's internal office environment was luxurious, the address was not a shared office, and no photos of the MONEX logo at the reception desk could be seen from the outside.

Thus, the inspection confirmed that the brokerage firm MONEX actually existed at the aforementioned address.

Field Survey Summary

The surveyors visited MONEX accordingly 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.
