We are pleased to invite you to our September Luncheon with Mr. Kunio Matsuda, President of Central Tanshi FX, who will deliver a speech titled “Between Swiss Franc, Yen and Euro”.

In the last two decades, foreign exchange margin trading (FX) has rapidly grown to be one of the most popular investment instruments for Japanese individual investors. Mr. Matsuda, with a career of over 30 years as a central banker and 7 years of experience as the president of an FX company, will compare the merits/demerits of FX with other instruments, discuss how it became so popular in Japan, what currencies are most preferred, what role the world famous Mrs. Watanabe plays in the market, and how central banks see the situation.

In order to guarantee the safety of our participants in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, a set of sanitary measures (detailed below) will be implemented. We thank you very much in advance for your kind understanding and cooperation, and look forward to welcoming you!
