Due to recent revisions to the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act, the Type I financial instruments business is diversifying, including businesses related to crypto-asset-related over-the-counter derivative transactions and electronically recorded transfer securities representation rights (STO).
The Financial Instruments Business Basic Examination is aimed at people who are indirectly involved in the financial products business, such as these new tasks and the creation of various content related to the financial products business, those who are interested in the financial industry, and students aiming to find employment. This exam is aimed at having students acquire basic knowledge regarding Type 1 Financial Instruments Transaction Business.
Please note that even if you pass the Financial Instruments Business Basic Examination, you will not be able to work as a sales representative. In order to work as a sales representative at a financial institution, you must pass the sales representative qualification examination.
