2 Annual Report 2010
W ith the annual report 2010 now
complete, I would like to outline
conditions in the financial and capital
markets, JSDA’s operating environment, and our
basic approach to the issues facing us.
When the total capitalizations are compared among
major stock markets around the world, Tokyo
comes in second after New York, with Shanghai
ranking as the world’s sixth largest stock market.
However if we look at the overall Chinese stock
market by combining the Shanghai, Hong Kong,
and Shenzhen markets, the China market overtook
Tokyo last year.
Moreover, as has been pointed out in the past,
foreign investors’ trading in Japan’s stock markets
has been on the decline recently. After constantly
accounting for a share of overall brokerage orders
in the 60% range for the last few years, foreign
investors’ share of trading fell into the 50% bracket
last year. In view of these trends, I am extremely
concerned that foreign investors’ interest in the
Japanese market and in Japanese companies is on
the wane. I believe that Japan needs to aggressively
make the investment appeal of its markets to the
overseas investment community. The JSDA has
been conducting such overseas investor relations
(IR) activities over the last few years; first in London,
then in Hong Kong, and more recently in Singapore
in March 2010.
Looking at another trend, individual investors
only accounted for about 29% of transactions in the
previous year. Clearly, it is important to find ways to
increase their participation in the market.
In view of the overall picture, therefore,
our industry faces the urgent task of building
a trustworthy market that can gain greater
participation by both overseas and domestic
investors.
In pursuing this goal, I believe it is important to
implement widespread and aggressive economic
stimulus and market promotion measures
taking care to avoid weakening the international
competitiveness of Japan’s market by obstructing
the market’s liquidity or efficiency.
Strengthening Policy Recommendation Functions to Invigorate the Market
Promoting financial and securities taxation reform
As a result of last year’s change in the governing
party in Japan, the process of determining
tax system revisions was consolidated into the
Government Tax Commission. We welcome the
outcome that, under the new ruling party, the
preferential tax rate of 10% on listed shares and
publicly offered stock investment trusts was
maintained in view of current market conditions
and the interests of the many investors in the
market. In other areas, future introduction of the
tax exemption for individuals for small investment
amounts, the Japanese version of individual savings
accounts (ISAs), has been decided recognizing its
important role in shifting the Japanese financial
system’s focus from savings to investment by
expanding the number of individual investors.
We have high expectations that it will become a
Preamble
![Page 4: jsda japan annual report 10](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081718/5571f9d249795991699084e5/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Annual Report 2010 3
new form of securities investment infrastructure,
following the special account (Tokutei-koza) system
for simplifying tax reporting by individuals, which
has already firmly taken root in Japan. However,
there are limitations on the investment amount and
duration of the Japanese version of ISAs (annual
contributions of ¥1 million and a three-year term).
From the perspective of increasing the benefits of
this tax policy while reducing its implementation
expenses, we intend to request that the procedures
be simplified and the investment amounts and
duration of the plan be increased.
Also, the recent round of tax revisions expanded
and enhanced the tax exemption system for interest
received on bonds by non-residents from the point
of view of vitalizing the corporate bond market, and
introduced matching contributions under Japan’s
defined contribution pension fund system.
On another front, we are continuing to push
forward with our efforts to expand the scope of
the aggregate taxation for financial products,
such as including profit and loss aggregation for
derivative transactions and completely eliminating
double taxation of dividends. Overall, we are fully
committed to ongoing reform of the financial and
securities taxation system
Promoting measures to vitalize the corporate bond market
During the recent financial crisis, financial institutions
around the world found it temporarily difficult to
fulfill their credit intermediation function, creating
great concern among corporations regarding
fund raising, particularly their short-term financing
needs. At the time, there was a great deal of interest
in using corporate bonds and commercial paper
(CP) to fill the gap. This situation evidenced that the
corporate bond market must work as an important
part of the capital market. Because it provides
investors with medium risk and medium return
investment instruments, we recognize that taking
measures to vitalize the corporate bond market
is an important challenge for the revitalization of
Japan’s economy.
For that reason, in July 2009, the JSDA established
a cross-industry Study Group to Vitalize the
Corporate Bond Market, chaired by Toshihiko Fukui,
former governor of the Bank of Japan. The council
deliberated this issue from various perspectives,
including an analysis of current conditions, the
primary market, the secondary market, and market
infrastructure and practices. In June 2010, the Study
Group issued a final report suggesting a number of
possible measures to vitalize the corporate bond
market.
Undertaking a Fundamental Review of Self-Regulation
Review of the overall self-regulatory framework
Amid the continued advances and sophistication of
investment instruments and transaction methods
in financial and capital markets, self-regulatory
organizations (SROs) are being required more
than ever before to respond quickly to changes
in the environment and demonstrate their proper
functioning in conjunction with government
regulatory bodies’ oversight and monitoring of
securities firms and markets.
To meet that challenge, in September 2009,
the JSDA established the Study Group on Roles
and Functions of Self Regulation, to undertake a
fundamental review of its self-regulatory rules. The
Study Group is doing so based on an investigation
into how to make JSDA’s self-regulatory rules
effective and efficient taking into consideration
such concepts as principle based rules and cost
versus benefit analysis. To begin with, the Study
Group is determining the basic principles of self-
regulatory rules to be applied in the fundamental
review. Following that process, the study group will
consider the revision and consolidation of JSDA’s
overall self-regulatory rules.
![Page 5: jsda japan annual report 10](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081718/5571f9d249795991699084e5/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
4 Annual Report 2010
At the same time, the JSDA has been adjusting
to many revisions in laws and ordinances since
the enforcement of the Financial Instruments
and Exchange Act (FIEA), and maintaining and
strengthening its SRO functions.
In conjunction with these efforts, the JSDA is
working with other Financial Instruments Firms
Associations regarding collaborating on and
creating self-regulatory rules. Recently the JSDA
is actively cooperating with related institutions in
disseminating information and conducting public
relations campaigns aimed at preventing investors
from becoming victims of investment scams
involving unlisted stocks.
Expanding and enhancing mediation and dispute resolution system
In August 2009, to further increase the trust
and satisfaction of users in the mediation and
dispute resolution system and to implement
industrywide operations, including Type II Financial
Instrument Businesses, the JSDA cooperated with
other Financial Instruments Firm Associations in
establishing the Financial Instruments Mediation
Assistance Center (FINMAC). The center began
operations in February 2010.
At the same time, the FIEA was partially revised
in April 2010, creating a new financial alternative
dispute resolution (ADR) system for financial
products in addition to the current mediation and
dispute resolution framework.
The JSDA plans to proactively support and
collaborate with FINMAC in implementing the new
ADR system.
International ActivitiesIn the international arena, the JSDA endeavors to
strengthen ties with its international counterparts
and national securities market bodies of other
countries in consideration of the globalization
of financial and securities markets. We actively
participate in the activities of such international
bodies as the International Council of Securities
Associations (ICSA) and the Asia Securities Forum
(ASF). Moreover, the JSDA acts to facilitate the
work of the International Organization of Securities
Commissions (IOSCO) chairing its SRO Consultative
Committee (SROCC) . Setting up the International
Advisory Committee within the JSDA consisting of
knowledgeable persons and representatives from
JSDA members actively involved in the international
business, our efforts are also being directed toward
increasing policy recommendations from the
Japanese securities industry to key international
bodies and standard setters including the G20,
the Financial Stability Board, the Basel Committee
and the IOSCO.
The above represents an outline of our recent
activities and our basic approach to the issues
facing us. The JSDA will continue to dedicate its full
efforts to accomplishing its previously mentioned
strategies in endeavoring to vitalize domestic
securities and financial markets and contribute
to the further development and expansion of
the economy. In meeting these challenges, we
look forward to your continued support and
cooperation.

Annual Report 2010 5
Enhancing and Vitalizing Financial and Capital Market Functions
The “Study Group regarding Financial and Capital
Markets” pointed out in its June 2009 report that
vitalizing the corporate bond market was a major
issue for the industry. In response, the JSDA set up
the “Study Group to Vitalize the Corporate Bond
Market” as a consultative group to its chairman.
Holding four meetings in fiscal 2009, the study
group looked into the current corporate bond
market and various issues related to vitalizing the
market and to diversifying mid- and long-term
corporate financing tools and fund management
methods of investors.
In June 2010, the Study Group issued a final
report suggesting a number of possible measures
to vitalize the corporate bond market.
Achieving a Financial and Securities Taxation System that Stimulates the Capital Market
In October 2009, based on the deliberations of the
Working Group on the Securities Taxation System,
the JSDA made the following tax revisions requests
to the Financial Services Agency (FSA) and Ministry
of Finance.
(a) Continue the preferential tax measures for
capital gains and dividends on listed stocks and
design a simplified system for tax exemptions
on investments by individuals in listed stocks
(Japanese version of ISA).
(b) As a tax measure to promote the unification of
the financial income tax system, expand the
scope of profit and loss aggregation of financial
products for tax purposes and make adjustments
to correct double taxation of dividends.
(c) Provide tax exemptions for interest received and
gain on redemption of bonds by non-residents
and foreigners as a tax measure to vitalize the
bond market.
Expanding and Upgrading Statistical Data on Financial and Capital Markets
In June 2009, the JSDA established the “Study
Group to Expand and Upgrade Statistical Data on
Financial and Capital Markets” under the Securities
Strategy Board. The study group deliberated on the
Creating Sound and Active Markets

systematic assembling of data and on promoting
a one-stop service for statistical data on financial
and capital markets in cooperation with relevant
parties. The JSDA also determined the basic
concept and the short-term tasks regarding data
assembly as well as putting into motion a concrete
improvement plan including such measures as
maintaining time-series data.
Setting up the Industrywide Shared Information Network and BCP
In April 2009, the JSDA launched the Securities
Industry Network (SI-Net) for securities firms as well
as a compliance WAN for the securities industry as
a whole. The JSDA began operations of its Japan-
Insider Registration & Identification Support System
(J-IRISS) service for preventing insider trading the
following May.
During the fiscal year, the JSDA implemented
a joint training session using the industrywide
business continuity plan (BCP) system BCPWEB. The
JSDA also made a reference list of major items to
draw up a BCP for dealing with an epidemic of the
new influenza virus.
International Advisory Committee
In July 2009, the JSDA formed the International
Advisory Committee with a view to efficiently
and properly reflecting the industry’s voice in
consultative documents issued by international
bodies and to provide advice on the JSDA’s
international activities and projects. During the
fiscal year, the committee considered some of
JSDA’s international activities and discussed two
consultative documents issued by the Basel
Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS). Based
on the results of its discussion of the consultative
documents, the committee sent comments to the
BCBS in April 2010.

Annual Report 2010 7
Undertaking Overhaul of the Framework of Self-Regulatory Rules
In July 2009, the JSDA formed the Study Group
on Roles and Functions of Self Regulation under
the Self-regulation Board. The study group met
four times during the fiscal year, discussing how
to make JSDA’s self-regulatory rules effective and
efficient taking into consideration such concepts
as principle based rules and cost versus benefit.
Boosting Market Fairness and Functions
The Working Group on Securities CFDs, which was
established in April 2009, announced its interim
report on various issues related to securities
contract for difference (CFD) transactions
in October 2009. Based on that report, the
JSDA created its Regulations Concerning CFD
Transactions, which set up a self-regulatory
framework for such areas as sales solicitation
by Association members and the obligation
to establish a system that enables loss cutting
transactions.
Since the occurrence of the global financial
crisis, there has been a growing awareness of the
necessity of reviewing practices for failed deliveries
in bond transactions. In response, in May 2009, the
JSDA set up the Working Group concerning Review
of Fails Practices for Bond Trading, which issued its
public interim report in October 2009.
In January 2010, the JSDA established the
Council for Preventing Scams Using Unlisted Stocks.
The council drew up and announced specific
measures to prevent investors from becoming
victims of investment scams. In March 2010, the
JSDA produced and distributed a poster to warn
investors of the dangers and in the following April
set up a call center dedicated to receiving investor
reports of problems involving unlisted stocks.
The FSA revised its Comprehensive Guidelines
for Supervision of Financial Instruments Business
Operators, etc. in March 2010. In the revisions, as
a requirement for gaining approval to operate a
proprietary trading system (PTS), the FSA obliged
PTS operators to implement systems and policies
to eliminate possible unfair transactions, such as
any short selling that would normally be prohibited
if executed on exchange.
In reaction to these revisions by the FSA, in May
2010, the JSDA formed the Working Group on the
Establishment of Systems for Off-Exchange Trading
of Stocks, etc. to discuss the issues. As a result of those
deliberations, the JSDA revised its self-regulatory
rules to require individual securities companies
to establish a management system, including the
formation of in-house rules to maintain fairness
in short selling transactions. In addition, the JSDA
created a Guideline on Price Standards for short
selling through PTSs.
Enhancing the Mediation and Dispute Resolution System
The JSDA formed the Financial Instruments
Mediation Assistance Center (FINMAC), a specified
non-profit organization (NPO), with the cooperation
of other Financial Instruments Firms Associations.
The NPO was established from the perspective
of contributing to enhanced investor protection
by setting up system for providing mediation and
dispute resolution services in a more industrywide

and comprehensive manner. The JSDA transferred
its mediation and dispute resolution operations
to FINMAC in February 2010. Moreover, to further
increase the trust and satisfaction of users of
FINMAC’s services, the JSDA actively supported and
collaborated closely with FINMAC appropriately
informing its members on FINMAC’s roles and
functions in the financial alternative dispute
resolution (ADR) system.
Enhancing JSDA’s Inspection Capacity
JSDA’s inspection team identified appropriate
inspection methods and items in light of each
inspected member’s business detail, risk exposure,
and other factors. Based on this preparation, the
JSDA carried out effective and efficient inspections
of a total of 152 firms, including 91 regular
members and 61 special members. Taking into
consideration the results of an October 2008 survey
of member firms regarding JSDA inspections,
the JSDA responded to their requests to simplify
the required pre-inspection documentation and
clarify its entry details (April 2009), to increase the
efficiency of pre-inspection process carried out
by member firms by posting the format for the
required pre-inspection documentation on the
JSDA’s wide-area network (WAN) (July 2009),
and to improve administrative efficiency by
enabling the submission of the required pre-
inspection documentation electronically through
the compliance WAN system. In addition, the JSDA
carried out thorough dissemination of information
regarding its inspections, reporting to member
firms on the specific details and cautionary points
arising from the inspection results.
Disciplinary Actions

In fiscal 2009, one regular member had its
membership suspended and penalty money
imposed (with admonition), six of them had
penalty money imposed (with admonition),
five regular members were reprimanded

12 Annual Report 2010
International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO)/ SRO Consultative Committee (SROCC)
The International Organization of Securities
Commissions (IOSCO) is an international
organization that brings together the regulators
of the world’s securities and futures markets to
establish standards and effective surveillance of
international securities transactions. The IOSCO SRO
Consultative Committee (SROCC) was established
in 1989 as a forum of IOSCO’s affiliate members
which have self-regulatory roles and functions. The
SROCC has 69 members representing developed
and emerging securities and derivatives markets
from around the world and has become an
important part of the global regulatory community
responsible for securities regulation and fair market
practices. Since June 2006, Mr. Tatsuo Watanabe and
subsequently Mr. Yoshio Okubo of the JSDA have
been acting as the chairperson on the committee
and the JSDA has served as its facilitator, working
with the IOSCO Secretariat.
The turmoil in the global financial markets
has highlighted the roles and importance of self
regulatory organizations in many jurisdictions.
In coordination with government regulators and
market stakeholders, many SROCC members are
actively engaged in the review of their mandates
and operations in response to the overall
regulatory reform. During this period, the SROCC
has continued to provide a pivotal framework for
self-regulatory organizations to share information

with a view to strengthening the underpinnings
of the markets around the globe.
International Council of Securities Associations (ICSA)
The International Council of Securities Associations
(ICSA) was established in 1988 based on a proposal
by the JSDA. The objective of the ICSA is to contribute
to sound development of the international securities
market by promoting transaction practices and
mutual understanding of the international securities
market. The ICSA membership comprises self-
regulatory organizations and trade associations
representing major securities markets in the world.
As of May 2010, 16 organizations are members
of ICSA.
ICSA holds an annual general meeting (AGM).
At the AGM in Washington, D.C. in May 2009,
in the lectures and the panel discussions the
guest speakers and member associations mainly
discussed the global regulatory reform being
undertaken as a result of the G20 summit. In May
2010, ICSA members gathered again at the AGM
in Istanbul and discussed the sovereign debt crisis
in Greece, the U.S. Financial Regulatory Reform Bill,
the alleged fraud by a leading American securities
firm and high frequency trading and so forth.
Asia Securities Forum (ASF)The Asia Securities Forum (ASF) was established
in 1995, based on an initiative by the JSDA. ASF’s
objectives are to exchange views and information
among the securities industries in the Asia-Pacific
region and to contribute to the development
of securities markets and economic growth in
the region.
Last year’s AGM, which ASF members host
on a rotating basis, was held in Sydney in
October 2009, hosted by the Australian Financial
Markets Association (AFMA). More than 40
people participated from the Asia-Pacific and
neighboring regions.
On the agenda at the 2009 AGM were country
reports from the participants, lectures by guest
speakers, and panel discussions on two topics:
“The Changing Global Regulatory Landscape” and
“Infrastructure Financing and Opportunities for
Asia’s Capital Markets”.
(ASF Training Seminar)The JSDA also organizes a training program called
the “Asia Securities Forum Seminar” targeting the
staff of self-regulatory organizations, securities-
related associations and regulatory authorities in
the Asia-Pacific countries to help these countries
develop their securities markets and build up
regulatory frameworks. The fifth ASF seminar
was held in December 2009 and attended by 16
participants from 15 jurisdictions. Participants
mainly studied the regulatory frameworks and
