The company name "MONEX" was created in the same manner in 1999: the "Y" in "MONEY" was shifted one letter to "X," in expression of the company's aim to "design a next-generation framework to deal with money and provide it to customers-to create the "MONEY'' of the future. However, the "future of finance" that MONEX strives for today is not that of the future as seen from 1999. MONEX believes that it must be the future as seen from each "present" at different times, the future that is never obsolete.
The name "MONEX" symbolizes the company's wish to create the future of finance-a system suitable for the coming age and not the future as seen from the past-and to provide a new relationship with money which individuals in Japan will come to need.

Monex Group, Inc. believes that it is important to create a highly effective corporate governance system to continuously enhance corporate value of the Company and its group companies. Based on this, Monex Group strives to listen to objective and diverse opinions through the ongoing appointment of outside and independent directors since its establishment in 2004 and the active promotion of information disclosure to create a system that enables balanced management decision-making while effectively monitoring management execution. In June 2013, Monex Group adopted a structure called company with committees (currently, company with committees, such as the Nominating Committee and others) to reinforce corporate governance by further separating management and oversight. In addition, since April 2015, we have selected a lead independent director from among the outside directors.
