As someone who prioritizes the nuances and specifics of account types in my trading, I approached KOSEI SECURITIES with cautious diligence, especially regarding the availability of swap-free Islamic accounts. After thoroughly reviewing their offering, my experience is that KOSEI SECURITIES does not explicitly mention the provision of swap-free or Sharia-compliant accounts anywhere in their publicly disclosed documentation or product listings. The product suite focuses primarily on stocks, bonds, futures, options, investment trusts, ETFs, and insurance, with detailed information on specific and NISA accounts tailored for Japanese tax efficiency. From an expertise standpoint, swap-free (Islamic) accounts are specifically structured to comply with Sharia law, prohibiting interest (riba) on overnight positions. Brokerages marketing toward international Muslim communities typically highlight this feature clearly due to its regulatory and ethical importance. For me, the absence of any reference or detailed provision for swap-free accounts at KOSEI SECURITIES, combined with their focus on a predominantly local Japanese clientele and primarily Japanese-language support, makes it clear that such an account is not currently part of their standard or publicly disclosed offering. For traders with these particular requirements, it is crucial to seek direct confirmation from the broker and never assume implicit availability, especially when regulatory and religious compliance is a core consideration.
