INVAST

INVAST (インヴァスト証券株式会社) is a Japanese financial services firm headquartered in Tokyo, specializing in online trading. The company was founded on 17 December 2018 and operates under the regulation of the Financial Services Agency (FSA) of Japan, holding a Market Making License (MM). INVAST's registered address is 東京都港区台場二丁目３番１号. The broker offers margin FX, CFDs, and automated trading solutions to retail and corporate clients.

With a focus on derivatives and technology, INVAST positions itself as a modern broker catering to Japanese traders. Its official website is available in Japanese, and it maintains a presence on social media platforms such as Facebook and YouTube. The broker is a member of several industry associations, including the Financial Futures Association of Japan and the Japan Securities Dealers Association.

INVAST holds a financial instruments business operator license from the Kanto Finance Bureau (registration number 26, issued 30 September 2007). It is regulated by Japan's Financial Services Agency (FSA), one of the strictest regulatory bodies globally. This regulatory framework imposes stringent capital requirements, client fund segregation, and regular reporting obligations. The broker is also a member of the Japan Investor Protection Fund, providing additional client protection up to certain limits.

Our cross-check of the license against the FSA public register confirms active status. The parent company is Invast Co., Ltd., which provides further corporate backing. Based on our analysis, the regulatory environment significantly reduces the risk of misconduct, though traders should always consider their own risk tolerance.

INVAST offers a diverse range of trading products. Its flagship product is 'Click365,' an exchange-traded forex product provided by the Tokyo Financial Exchange. It covers 28 currency pairs, including major, minor, and exotic pairs such as USD/JPY, EUR/JPY, and South African Rand/JPY.

Contract sizes vary, with most pairs at 10,000 units and certain exotics at 100,000 units. Leverage for individuals ranges from 1x to 25x, selectable per order. Corporate accounts have margin requirements set by the exchange.

In addition to Click365, INVAST provides 'Triauto FX,' an automated forex trading service, and 'Triauto CFD' for contracts for difference on indices and ETFs. The broker emphasizes technology-driven solutions, including an all-in-one app that supports both FX and CFD trading. Automated trading is a key differentiator, allowing clients to use pre-set strategies or create their own.

INVAST offers a straightforward account opening process with no minimum deposit for standard Triauto FX accounts. However, the 'Select' plan recommends a starting capital of around 300,000 yen. The broker charges no account maintenance fees and provides free deposits via instant transfer services. Withdrawals are also free of charge for clients, as the broker covers the fees. Trading commissions for Triauto FX are zero, while Click365 commissions start at 330 yen per lot one-way, with volume discounts for active traders.

The broker offers multiple leverage courses for individuals, allowing them to choose their risk level. Corporate accounts are available separately. Detailed terms are provided in the transaction documents for each product.

INVAST provides proprietary trading platforms, including a mobile app that enables trading on the go. The platforms support a wide array of order types, such as market, limit, streaming, trigger, OCO, and if-done orders, as well as trailing stops and batch settlement. For automated traders, the 'Triauto' platform allows for algorithmic trading strategies.

The broker also offers educational resources, including a blog and video content, to help traders learn. A community chat feature allows users to interact. While the platforms are not as widely known as MetaTrader, they are tailored to the Japanese market and integrate seamlessly with the broker's services.

INVAST primarily targets Japanese retail traders, given its Japanese-only website and local regulation. It is suitable for both beginners and experienced traders, offering manual and automated trading options. The availability of low leverage and educational materials makes it approachable for newcomers, while the sophisticated order types and volume discounts cater to active traders. Corporate clients and institutional investors also find suitable products.

The broker's focus on automated trading with the Triauto series appeals to those who prefer a hands-off approach. However, the lack of English support limits its accessibility to international traders.
