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

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

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.

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

Page 7: jsda japan annual report 10

6 Annual Report 2010

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.

Page 8: jsda japan annual report 10

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

8 Annual Report 2010

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.

Training SystemBased on a training program drawn up annually,

the JSDA provides training courses for executive

officers and employees of member firms. The JSDA

also flexibly conducts training courses other than

those included in the program in response to

amendments of laws and institutional changes.

In fiscal 2009, the JSDA held training courses

with main objectives to further improve the ability

and credentials of executive officers and employees

of member firms, and thereby contribute to building

greater confidence in the securities industry among

investors. The chief point of the training courses

was to help member firms reinforce compliance

and keep up with advances in trading methods

and changes in market environment. A total of

6,693 participants attended these courses.

To contribute to strengthening the compliance

system and enhancing internal training in member

firms, the JSDA compiled and distributed a

collection of rulebooks on laws and regulations to

be used as reference material in internal training

courses. In addition, the JSDA provided summaries

and training materials on compliance-related

issues from among its training sessions for the fiscal

year. Moreover, it dispatched or introduced JSDA’s

executive officers and employees to act as lecturers

Investor Education(1) Activities to Disseminate Securities

KnowledgeThe JSDA formed the Project for Dissemination

and Enlightenment of Securities Knowledge

with other organizations such as the Tokyo Stock

Exchange Group, Investment Trust Association

and other securities-related bodies. This initiative

promotes investor education on a continuing

basis over the long term carrying out a variety of

investor education activities on a cooperative basis.

The following are the main activities.

• Providing educational materials for middle and

high school students

• Offering a Stock Market Game for middle and

high school students

• Holding the Financial and Economic

Education Forum

• Holding events around Securities Investment

Day (October 4th)

• Holding Securities Investment Seminars as a

(2) Other Activities• Public relations activities to prevent securities

investment trouble

Since many troubles involving unlisted stocks

were reported, the Self-regulation Dept. and

related bodies collaborated in the production

and widespread distribution to related bodies of

leaflets and posters warning investors of scams

using unlisted stocks. The JSDA also produced

and widely distributed to related bodies a leaflet

mainly for people without any experience in

investing in stocks or for beginners targeting

the prevention of troubles. The leaflet contained

a simple summary of the basic points that need

to be understood when investing in securities.

• Investor Relations (IR) seminars

During fiscal 2009, the JSDA held a total of 49 IR

seminars in Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya and Kyoto in

response to individual investors’ strong need for

business information disclosure and to support

the IR activities of listed companies. Altogether,

18,777 people participated in these seminars.

• Publications

To spread knowledge and understanding about

securities, the JSDA produces and distributes

booklets and materials about stocks, bonds,

investment trusts and other investment

instruments for general investors.

• Securities information offices

The JSDA operates securities information

offices in Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya to provide

the public with not only securities investment-

related information, but also information on the

economy and finance as a whole.

• Support for university student association

The JSDA provides financial and other support

and information to the nationwide student

association, “Japan National Federation of

Securities Research Students”. This association’s

members comprise university study groups that

carry out research on securities.

• Hosting international seminar on investor

education

In October 2009, the JSDA jointly hosted an

international seminar on investor education with

the International Forum for Investor Education

(IFIE). The purpose of the joint seminar was to

further promote the financial and investment

education in Japan and Asian countries by

inviting experts as panelists from regions that

are forerunners in the field of financial and

investment education. The joint seminar was

held in Tokyo and Osaka and attended by 344

participants, including 20 foreign participants.

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

International Activities

Page 14: jsda japan annual report 10

Annual Report 2010 13

Internat ional Act iv i t ies

about their regulatory activities and experiences

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

market infrastructure using the Japanese securities

market as an example.
