Monex's Comprehensive NISA Series
Monex Securities, headquartered in Minato-ku, Tokyo, has announced the launch of the 'Full Power NISA Series' to enhance its services and offer exciting new programs for individual investors. Starting in September 2023, the company aims to bolster individual investor engagement through various initiatives, including a monthly cash giveaway program involving cash prizes of ¥10,000 for 500 lucky participants.
Background of the Initiative
Since its inception, Monex Securities has focused on creating a favorable investment environment for individual investors. The company recognizes the importance of supporting investment activities and providing high-quality financial products and services. With the national policy shifting towards 'from savings to investment', Monex is determined to facilitate asset formation for inexperienced investors, thus promoting a more fruitful investment landscape.
To broaden the utilization of NISA accounts, Monex has introduced new measures as part of the 'Full Power NISA Series,' encouraging individual investors to engage in long-term, systematic, and diversified investments through mutual fund allocations. In addition, Monex will run a campaign that fully reimburses transfer fees for mutual funds and Japanese stocks moved from other financial entities. There's also an upcoming renewal of the US stock trading service scheduled for January next year, continuing the support for individual investors' asset formation.
