“Monex Group is from a brokerage-model to an asset-management model where it aims to increase the customers’ assets,” the company explained in the statement released today.

This is the reason why the Company has decided to acquire shares of Monex-SaisonVanguard Investment Partners.”
Monex-Saison-Vanguard Investment Partners was established in 2015. Since then, the company has been developing, providing and managing MSV LIFE and MSV COMPASS+. These are discretionary investment services that enable customers to experience Vanguard’s investment philosophy.
In the statement, Monex highlights that although the name of these services will change, along with the company’s name, the Group will continue to provide these services under the same concept and policies.
“Monex Group will maintain its strong relationship with Credit Saison and Vanguard with the aim to contribute to the asset management and asset creation needs of a wide range of customers,” the statement said.
