Based on my direct research and careful review, I’ve found that Akatsuki is a Japanese broker regulated by the Financial Services Agency (FSA), with a long history and a confirmed office presence. However, as someone with years of trading experience, I have learned to always verify instrument availability and costs before choosing a broker, especially for something as specific as trading indices like the US100. When I looked closely at Akatsuki, I noticed that their tradable products are limited to investment trusts, stocks, and bonds. According to my findings, Akatsuki does not currently list indices—including the US100—as available instruments, and there is no public information about spreads, commissions, or funding costs related to index trading. Their published fee structure is focused mainly on stock and bond transactions, with commissions and charges that appear quite significant for some categories. In my view, the absence of index products, including major benchmarks like the US100, means that total trading costs for these instruments are not only unavailable but that trading them on Akatsuki simply is not an option at this time. I approach such gaps in information with caution, as clear instrument lists and transparent fees are essential from a risk management perspective. For trading indices, I would consider other brokers that offer these products with detailed, published cost structures.
