H.S. Securities

What H.S. Securities does

J Trust Global Securities Co., Ltd., operating under the brand JTG Securities (JTG証券), is a Japan-based, privately held Financial Instruments Business Operator registered with the Kanto Local Finance Bureau and a member of all four principal Japanese self-regulatory bodies (JSDA, FFAJ, JIPF, JFSFA). The firm provides retail and HNW brokerage services across equities (domestic and foreign — US, Russia, Indonesia, Singapore, China), foreign currency bonds (USD, EUR and other denominations), FX, investment trusts, futures and options (Nikkei 225 complex), securities-backed lending, and corporate services including IPO advisory. JTG Securities holds the top rank in USD foreign bond sales among Japanese retail-facing brokers by both transaction value and count, with a USD-denominated custody balance that crossed JPY 100 billion in April 2026.

Its product and technology stack comprises a self-directed internet platform (Bluesky Net), a professional desktop terminal (JTG Trader Premium), a web terminal (JTG Trader), and a mobile app (Sumakabu / スマ株) that introduced mandatory passkey authentication in June 2026. The most strategically significant product is WEALTH FX (launched June 22, 2026), Japan's first bond-collateralized FX service that lets clients use foreign bond holdings as collateral to earn a "double income" from bond coupons plus FX positioning. Complementary offerings include WEALTH GROWTH, a managed-account wrap service for HNW clients, and Private Banking for personalized wealth management.

The business model is transaction-fee-driven (equity and FX commissions, FX spreads, bond currency conversion spreads where USD bond buying spread is zero yen), supplemented by recurring wrap/wealth management fees and interest from securities-backed lending. Go-to-market is multi-channel: self-directed online, phone-assisted Call & Net, physical branches (including the newly repositioned Tokyo Wealth Management Department from July 2026), and dedicated Private Banking. The customer base spans mass retail investors, affluent/HNW individuals seeking bond and FX diversification, and corporate clients pursuing IPO preparation and treasury management. Distribution is concentrated in Japan, with foreign-investment product offerings providing international market exposure to domestic clients.
