Investment in foreign securities including emerging markets is increasingly becoming active and diverse. Currently, MTBJ invests in approx. 130 countries^*1 with the balance of foreign securities assets under management reaching approximately 238.2 trillion yen as of March 31, 2024.
MTBJ has a dedicated division to investigate and monitor laws and regulations (including tax systems) of investing countries, and takes swift action. While selecting overseas custodians, we assess their credit risk, internal control system, administrative capability and other aspects, as well as conduct comprehensive screening including on-site inspections and meetings.
