Reasons for Field Survey

The Japanese foreign exchange market is one of the world's most important forex trading markets, boasting a long history, a mature financial system, and strict regulatory mechanisms. It holds a crucial position in the global forex market. With numerous participants and high trading activity, it is subject to strict oversight by regulatory agencies such as the Financial Services Agency of Japan, ensuring the market's standardized operation. To help investors gain a more comprehensive understanding of the actual operations of forex dealers in the region, the field research team conducted an on-site visit to Japan.

Field Survey Process

This year's field research team traveled to Tokyo, Japan, as planned, to conduct an on-site visit to the forex broker Kio & Kim IFC. Publicly available information lists its office address as 1 Chome-2-8 Toranomon, Minato City, Tokyo 105-0001.

With a commitment to ensuring stringent investor protection, the professional and experienced field research team traveled to Tokyo according to a carefully planned visit. Based on the aforementioned information, they conducted an on-site visit to Kio & Kim IFC.

Based on the address information, the field research team traveled to the Toranomon area of Tokyo's Minato Ward to conduct an on-site verification of the broker, Kio & Kim IFC, which claimed to be located at the aforementioned address.

The field research team successfully arrived at the target building. Located in Tokyo's core business district, the building is surrounded by numerous high-end office buildings and financial institutions, creating a luxurious and vibrant business atmosphere. Due to the building's modern and recognizable exterior, the field research team successfully captured a panoramic view of the building.

After entering the building, the field research team examined the signage in the lobby but did not find any reference to Kio & Kim IFC's name or office information. To further confirm the situation, the surveyors inquired with the building's front desk and security guard about the company. They both denied having heard of Kio & Kim IFC and were unsure whether it had an office there.

Unable to confirm the specific floor and room location, and due to the company's explicit denial by the relevant staff, the surveyors were unable to proceed to any floor for further verification. Throughout the inspection, no Kio & Kim IFC logo or related signs were found, either exterior or interior, and no photographs were taken of the alleged front desk or its logo.

Thus, the survey confirmed that Kio & Kim IFC did not exist at the aforementioned address.

Field Survey Summary

The surveyors visited the Kio & Kim IFC as planned. They could not find the broker's company name and other information at its publicly displayed business place, indicating that the broker does not have a real business location. Investors are advised to consider this information comprehensively before making decisions.
