Contributing to Society

As a securities exchange operator with high public visibility, JPX Group considers it important to provide accurate, easy-to-understand information on finance and economics. With the aim of helping people become more familiar with financial matters and acquire the right knowledge to build assets in ways that suit their individual needs, we provide financial and economic education for a broad audience, from children to working adults. Through these activities, JPX Group contributes to improving financial literacy throughout Japanese society and to sustainable economic development.

JPX Manebu Lab

Under the “JPX Manebu Lab” brand, JPX Group develops financial and economic education programs for people of all ages, from elementary, middle, and high school students to working adults. ("Manebu" is a play on two words: the English 'money' and the Japanese word "manabu" meaning 'to learn.') We are working to create an environment where each individual can become familiar with finance and economics through a learning method that suits them.

For Students

Revisions to Japan’s national curriculum in April 2022 added asset formation to high school home economics classes. Interest in financial and economic education in schools continues to grow. Through educational programs for students and support for teachers, JPX Group continues its efforts to raise the standard of financial literacy in Japanese society as a whole.

School Manebu

Outreach to Schools (Elementary Through High School)

We send staff to schools to help students understand the close connections between daily life, the economy, and companies. These lectures can be incorporated into classes such as home economics, politics & economics, and civics. Through role-playing and hands-on activities, they provide an enjoyable way to learn how stock companies work and about asset formation.

Economics Lectures for Parents and Children (Elementary and Middle School Students and Their Parents/Guardians)

During school holidays, including summer vacation, we hold fun events where parents and children can become familiar with financial and economic concepts while touring the facilities of Tokyo Stock Exchange and Osaka Exchange.

JPX Entrepreneur Experience Program (Middle and High Schools)

“What if I started a business?” This educational program aims to develop students’ life skills, such as the ability to learn and think on their own, by giving them the experience of setting up and running a business from scratch. It is carried out in cooperation with schools and local communities.

Economics Lectures for Teachers

We provide seminars and training sessions for middle and high school teachers, mostly during school holidays. The aim is to equip teachers with financial and economic knowledge and concepts that will aid them in their teaching. JPX Group also sends staff to speak at training and study sessions for teachers.

Campus Manebu

In April 2022, the age of majority was lowered to 18, enabling university students to open securities accounts without parental consent. While investing and asset formation have become more familiar, it has become more important than ever for university students to acquire the right knowledge about investing.

Lectures for University Students

At the requests of universities nationwide, we provide lectures on finance and economics, securities markets, and derivatives markets. We also combine these with exchange facility tours (in person or online) to help students feel more connected to the exchanges.

To help nurture the next generation of talent, we offer sponsored courses and collaborative courses at a number of universities. The courses cover the latest developments in law, economics, management, and accounting related to the securities market, along with the roles of listed companies.

For Working Adults

TSE Manebu (Retail Investors and the General Public)

This dedicated website aims to promote asset formation. To be accessible even to investment beginners, it uses familiar topics about money as an entry point to provide easy-to-understand explanations of the principles of long-term and diversified investment.
The website offers a wide variety of content, including videos, infographics, and articles, as well as an ETF search function and information on how to use ETFs.

Seminar Manebu (Anyone Interested in Asset Formation)

We hold seminars and events and provide online videos for a broad range of people, from those who wish to begin asset formation to those who want to learn more about investing. From an impartial, neutral position, we provide accurate information on a variety of topics, including the appeal of Japanese stocks and ETFs and the basics of asset formation. We offer programs suited to each stage, from the “first step” to “the next stage of learning.”

Training Manebu (For Employees)

We provide training on finance, the securities market, and asset formation for employees of listed companies and other companies and organizations. From an impartial, neutral position, we provide accurate information to promote a better understanding of the securities market and enhance financial literacy. Through this training, we aim to increase interest in asset formation and enable individuals to make choices that are best suited to their needs.
