Having traded for years, I’ve learned that regulation is the first line of defense for protecting my capital. Nomura Asset Management’s oversight by Japan’s Financial Services Agency (FSA) under a Retail Forex License is particularly significant for me. The FSA is recognized for setting rigorous standards around transparency, risk management, and operational conduct. That means Nomura is required to adhere to stringent guidelines regarding how client funds are handled, disclosure of investment risks, and internal controls. For me, this regulatory scrutiny offers a foundational layer of safety—reducing the likelihood of encountering malpractice or mismanagement. The firm’s history, operating for 15–20 years under continuous regulation, gives me further reassurance. Longevity alone can’t guarantee safety, but it does suggest that the business has met evolving compliance standards over time. Importantly, if a broker is unregulated, I would be shouldering far more risk, as there would be limited external oversight or recourse in the case of issues. Knowing that Nomura Asset Management is held accountable by a top-tier Japanese regulator helps establish a baseline of trust for me. However, I remain cautious in every investment decision: regulation reduces, but cannot eliminate, all risks inherent to trading and asset management.
