About DARTs

(Notes) From January 2018 onward, we decided to continue disclosing DARTs of TradeStation Group only and cease disclosure of

Global DARTs and DARTs of Monex, Inc., because we came to a conclusion that the figures shown in the "Stock Brokerage" and "FX Trading (OTC FX)" fields of Monex, Inc. described above would more appropriately function to convey trading activities at Monex, Inc.

*The preliminary numbers reported above may be updated in the future.
