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 time, the inspection team traveled to Japan as planned to visit the forex broker Ando Securities. Publicly available information indicates its office address is 3-23-21 Nishiki, Naka-ku, Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture, 〒460-8619.

With a strong sense of responsibility to ensure stringent investor scrutiny, the professional and experienced field research team carefully planned their visit to the target address. Based on publicly available information, they conducted a comprehensive on-site inspection of Ando Securities, striving to fully establish the broker's true operations through detailed on-site observation and verification.

Based on the address information, the field research team traveled to the Nishiki area of Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture. This area is a bustling commercial district in Nagoya, boasting dense commercial facilities, frequent pedestrian and vehicle traffic, a bustling street environment, and a rich blend of business and finance. The surveyors successfully located the building corresponding to the address. It was a relatively luxurious office building. They immediately took panoramic photos of the building, clearly capturing its exterior and the bustling surroundings. They also noted the prominent Ando Securities logo displayed on the building's exterior, making it easily recognizable from the street, clearly confirming the company's connection to the building.

The surveyors then entered the building's first floor and were immediately greeted by the Ando Securities reception desk. The area was neat and tidy, befitting the building's relatively luxurious design. While lingering in the first floor area (which also served as the lobby), they focused on the company signage inside the building, clearly identifying Ando Securities' registration information. The address was identical to the information on the survey form, further confirming its authenticity.

On-site verification confirmed that the office space was exclusively used by Ando Securities and not a shared office. The inspection team successfully obtained permission and proceeded to the target floor. They confirmed on-site that the entire floor was the company's office area, clearly identifying its specific office location. They then successfully entered the company's interior and observed that the office environment was consistent with its bustling designation, with a well-organized layout, complete supporting facilities, and a professional and large-scale atmosphere, perfectly matching the overall office space's character.

During the inspection, the inspection team successfully captured footage of the company's front desk, where the Ando Securities logo was clearly displayed, visually verifying the authenticity of the company's business location. Combined with the logo on the building's exterior, direct access to the front desk on the first floor, consistent signage, confirmation of the entire floor's office area, internal visits, and the front desk photography, multiple lines of evidence all point to Ando Securities having a legitimate and sizable business location at the address.

Thus, the inspection confirmed the presence of the brokerage firm Ando Securities at the aforementioned address.

Field Survey Summary

The surveyors visited Ando Securities 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.
