The Japan Investment Advisers Association (JIAA), established in October 1987 with the approval of the Minister of Finance, is a certified financial instrument business association as defined in Article 78 of the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act.

We seek to protect investors by ensuring a fair and smooth operation of investment management business as well as investment advisory and agency business. We also provide various services with the aim of contributing to the sound development of such businesses. Our members are composed of those firms conducting investment management business and/or investment advisory and agency business who are in support of such purposes.

We enjoy high reputation both at home and abroad for our services, and we believe that becoming a member of JIAA will help you win investor confidence and public trust.

Furthermore, under the Financial ADR (alternative dispute resolution) system, all firms engaging in investment management business and/or investment advisory and agency business are required to implement measures for processing complaints and resolving disputes. JIAA members can fulfill these requirements by using our complaint resolution and mediation services, which are outsourced to the Financial Instruments Mediation Assistance Center (FINMAC).

We invite you to review information about JIAA and consider joining us.

For further information and inquiry about becoming a JIAA member, please send us a mail to membership@jiaa.or.jp.
