Monex Group promotes community investment and social contribution activities to contribute to the sustainable development of the local communities to which each business location belongs.
Based on our corporate philosophy and business characteristics, we have identified Financial Education, Local Community Investment, and Individual Wellbeing as our focus areas. We engage in activities closely tied to our business—for example, utilizing the knowledge and expertise cultivated in our financial business for Financial Education, and pursuing job creation and human resource development at each business location for Local Community Investment.
Utilizing the knowledge and expertise cultivated in our financial business, Monex, Inc. and TradeStation support the improvement of financial literacy among a wide range of people, particularly young people.

The Group aims to coexist and prosper with local communities by actively hiring locally at each business location and contributing to the sustainable development of local communities through job creation and human resource development.
