BEST EXECUTION" POLICIES, ETC.

Applicable from April 1, 2005

Bloomberg
Tradebook Japan Ltd.


These "Best Execution" Policies, Etc., pursuant to Article 43-2, Paragraph 1 of the Securities and Exchange Law, prescribe the policies and methods for executing orders from the Company's customers under the best transactional terms and conditions for the customer:

  1. Subject Securities

    1. We will deal only in share certificates listed on domestic exchanges (hereinafter, "Listed Share Certificates"), and of the "Listed Share Certificates, Etc." prescribed in Article 16-2, Paragraph 1, Item 1a of the Cabinet Order for Enforcement of the Securities and Exchange Law, we will not engage in the dealing of securities other than Listed Share Certificates (certificate of bond with share purchase warrants, share purchase warrant certificates, share subscription warrant certificates, equity certificates, preferred equity certificates, securities or certificates issued by foreign corporations that have the same characteristics as these or share certificates, beneficiary certificates in investment trusts or foreign investment trusts, and investment securities or foreign investment securities).
    2. We will not engage in the dealing of the "Over-the-Counter Securities" prescribed in Article 16-2, Paragraph 1, Item 1b of the Cabinet Order for Enforcement of the Securities and Exchange Law or the "Dealing Securities" prescribed in Article 40, Paragraph 1, Item 1 of the Securities and Exchange Law as cited in Article 16-2, Paragraph 1, Item 1c of the Cabinet Order for Enforcement of the Securities and Exchange Law (of share certificates, certificate of bond with share purchase warrants and other securities prescribed by the Cabinet Office Ordinance (the Cabinet Office Ordinance Concerning Dealing Securities) (share subscription warrant certificates, share purchase warrant certificates, certain equity certificates issued by corporations established under special laws, the preferred equity certificates prescribed under the Law Concerning Liquidation of Assets, and the investment securities prescribed under the Law Concerning Investment Trusts and Investment Companies) (excluding listed securities and over-the-counter securities), those not prohibited from trading or other solicitations for trading under the rules of the Japan Securities Dealers Association).
  2. Method for Facilitating Execution Under Best Transactional Terms and Conditions
    1. Consignment Orders
      The Company shall not engage in trading as a direct counterparty to the orders received from customers, but shall broker all such orders as consignment orders.

    2. Securities Exchanges

      In the event consignment orders are received from customers, all orders related to Listed Share Certificates received from customers shall be brokered to trading participants or members of the domestic securities exchange market on which the corresponding issue is listed with whom the Company has executed an agreement. Consignment orders received outside the trading hours of the securities exchange market shall be passed to these parties and brokered in the securities exchange market after trading has recommenced in the securities market. The Company shall not deal in off-exchange transactions including brokering to PTS with respect to orders for Listed Share Certificates received from customers.

    3. Multiple Securities Exchanges
      In the event the issue associated with an order received from a customer is listed on multiple securities exchanges, and agreements have been executed by and between the trading participants on these securities exchanges and the Company, if instructions concerning the securities exchange are received from the customer, the order shall be executed on the securities exchange conforming with said instructions.

  3. Reasons for Selecting the Methods Set Forth in Section 2 above

    Most investors' demand is concentrated in securities exchange markets, and in comparison to off-exchange transactions, securities exchange markets are considered superior in terms of liquidity, capability of execution, transaction speed, and the like, and as such the execution of orders on securities exchange markets is judged to be most reasonable for customers. In addition, in the event the issue associated with an order received from a customer is listed on multiple securities exchange markets, if there are instructions from the customer, then it is judged most reasonable for the customer to execute the order on the conforming securities exchange market.

  4. Miscellaneous

  1. We will not deal in the following transactions:
    Odd-lot and less then full-lot transactions.

    In the event of unavoidable interruptions to the system or the like, customer orders may be executed under policies and methods that differ from the policies and methods prescribed in these Best Execution Policies, Etc. Even in such instances, we will strive to execute orders under policies and methods reasonably judged to be an execution by the best trading terms and conditions at that point in time.
