Japan financial instruments business operators registry index

TL;DR

FSA’s financial instruments business operator list contains 1,945 operators as of 2026-04-30. This page is the registry-control route for the FIEA / FIBO population. It does not reproduce all 1,945 rows; the official FSA workbook remains the complete row-level source of truth.

Use this page to separate brokerage, Type I / Type II FIBO, investment advisory, investment management, PTS, tokenized-securities handling, and securities self-regulatory routes. Create standalone pages only for material brokers, asset managers, PTS / market-infrastructure operators, listed-company groups, or strategically important foreign operators.

Promotion Rules

Promote an operator from registry-only to standalone page only if it is:

a major broker, asset manager, PTS, market-infrastructure operator, or listed-company group;
strategically important for retail brokerage, NISA, security tokens, FX / derivatives, or capital-markets infrastructure;
a foreign operator with material Japan branch / subsidiary presence;
public-source rich enough to support standalone analysis.
