Japan Securities Depository Account Management Fee (Applicable for Japanese Stocks)

What's New

Effective June 15, 2024, a Japan Securities Depository Account Management Fee will be imposed on all Japanese stock holdings. The fee is calculated based on the daily average number of board lots held each month and charged at a rate of JPY 0.32 per lot, rounded to the nearest JPY. The fee for the current month will be deducted directly from your KGI Asia securities trading account the following month. If you sell any applicable stocks during the current month, the applied fee for the portion of sold stocks will be deducted from the total calculated fee prior to settlement. Please refer to the following example.
