Monex Securities Surpasses 1 Trillion Yen in U.S. Stock Assets

Monex Securities Achieves New Record in U.S. Stock Assets

Monex Securities, headquartered in Tokyo's Minato Ward and led by President Yuko Kiyome, has proudly announced a significant achievement: its total U.S. stock assets, inclusive of ETFs, have surpassed 1 trillion yen. This milestone is a testament to the growing interest among Japanese investors in the U.S. market.

Background of the Achievement

Monex Securities has actively worked to enhance investment opportunities for individual investors. In collaboration with its U.S.-based affiliate, TradeStation Group, Inc. located in Florida, the company has prioritized the expansion of its U.S. stock trading services in Japan. By providing attractive trading fees starting from zero dollars, Monex aims to cater to the diverse needs of its clients, continually expanding the list of tradable stocks.

Additionally, features like after-hours trading, various order types such as stop loss and trailing stop orders, and a dedicated smartphone application for U.S. stocks have raised the level of convenience for investors. Through tailored investment reports and seminars presented by Chief Foreign Stock Consultant Heihachiro Okamoto, Monex has also enhanced its support system for clients. The introduction of the “Unlimited U.S. ETF Buying Program” and the “Essentially Free NISA Fees” program further facilitates easier access to U.S. investments.

The culmination of these efforts has given rise to impressive growth, with Monex seeing its assets increase beyond 10 trillion yen in September 2025, and it officially crossed the 1 trillion yen mark for U.S. stock assets on October 28, 2025. This reflects the company’s commitment to adapt to market demands and better serve its customers.

Upcoming Service Enhancements

Looking ahead, Monex Securities plans to completely revamp its U.S. stock trading services in January 2026. This overhaul is expected to significantly improve the investment environment and contribute to the wealth accumulation of its clients.
