Moomoo Japan expands to offer zero fee Japanese stock trading services
Moomoo Japan has introduced Japanese stock trading services, allowing investors in Japan to seamlessly trade both US and domestic stocks using moomoo, a global investment and trading platform which was officially introduced to Japan in September last year.
Launched in March, investors in Japan can now access a vast selection of over 4,000 stocks, ETFs, ETNs, REITs, and other securities listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange (Prime, Standard, and Growth markets) through moomoo while leveraging a wide variety of professional-level tools and exclusive in-depth market data on the platform. Following the successful launch of US stock trading in Japan, Moomoo Japan is taking a step further to diversify its offerings to deliver upgraded trading experience for local investors.
“Japan holds a crucial position as one of the most significant investment markets in the Asia-Pacific region, boasting a substantial base of retail investors. The prolonged period of low-interest rates in recent years has ignited a surge in interest among investors for stock investments. This year, the Nikkei index has achieved unprecedented highs, captivating the attention of global investors who are keen on exploring the potential opportunities within the Japanese stock market. To cater to the robust investment demand from Japanese investors and offer them a wider range of trading options, moomoo launched Japanese stock trading offering,” said Francisco Izawa, President of Moomoo Securities Japan. “We firmly believe Japanese investors can better seize investment opportunities by leveraging comprehensive and up-to-date market information, coupled with professional financial services provided by moomoo. We look forward to a shared growth trajectory with local investors, with the aim of mutually benefiting from the experience.”
One-stop access to US and Japanese stock trading, empowering local investors with powerful tools and resources
In September 2023, moomoo officially launched its online brokerage business, providing Japanese investors with access to approximately 7,000 US stocks and ETFs, becoming the online broker which offers the largest number of tradable US stocks in Japan. With its robust technological capabilities and user-friendly tools, moomoo swiftly gained popularity among Japanese investors. Currently, the moomoo app ranks among the top three online brokerages in Japan in terms of daily average downloads and the platform has achieved record-breaking levels of daily active users*.
Moomoo offers competitive trading fees to investors. Investors can enjoy zero commissions when executing transactions involving Japanese stocks through both NISA accounts and regular accounts.
With a strong commitment to breaking down information barriers throughout the investment journey, moomoo has also positioned itself as a pioneering brokerage in Japan, granting users free access to Morningstar’s comprehensive research reports and authoritive analysis, including detailed ratings. Previously limited to institutional investors and high-net-worth individuals, these valuable resources now empower individual investors in Japan by meeting their needs to access professional research reports from global financial institutions.
Through the use of moomoo, Japanese investors have free access to a range of professional-grade investment tools, including features such as fund flows, institutional holdings, trend predictions, and trailing stop-loss, among others. Additionally, moomoo leverages AI technology to provide investors with analysis tools like “candlestick pattern” and “trend projection”, assisting investors in making more informed investment decisions.
