One of the hardest things about living overseas is not knowing where you will be next year. I kept telling myself I was only going to stay in Japan for 1 year. But 3 years later I had to admit to myself that I wasn’t going home any time soon. I guess you can say that uncertainty is the only thing that is for sure. I realized I needed to start planning my financial future around an expat lifestyle. I don’t know anything about investing, so I wasn’t sure how to get started, but it was easy. My boss introduced me to Objective Trading and they helped me narrow down my options, and showed me what to do. G.R., Sapporo

My wife and I live in Japan since a few years, where I work as a chef. Although I'm insured and I pay my taxes here in Japan, I needed to put away a little bit of cash, so that I can give a down payment when I'll buy a house, or for my kids if they want to keep studying here. After years of misunderstandings with banks, both Japanese and foreign, I contacted Objective Trading and we designed a very suitable portfolio that I’m very happy with. W.R., Kitakyushu

My New Year’s resolution was to get my finances in shape. But by June I still hadn’t done anything at all. My friend recommended Objective Trading, and I got the help I needed. [My Account Manager] is really nice and contacts me whenever something needs my attention. Looks like I need a new goal for next year! K.C., Nagoya

For me saving money is really hard. If the money is there - I spend it! Usually I buy stuff that I don’t even need. I just like to go shopping and I can’t seem to leave without buying at least one or two things. Now my investments are taken care of automatically, and I don’t even notice when I contribute to my plan. [My Account Manager] taught me how to “pay myself first.” And that’s what I’m doing. J.F., Sendai

My friends and co-workers are always talking about the markets and comparing notes. They seem to be really stressed out by every fluctuation. We even have an office pool trying to guess the prices of technology stocks next year. They try to involve me, but I just smile and watch them get excited. I don’t have to worry about the day to day state of the market. I’m in it for the long term, and only need to check my portfolio once or twice a month. L.L., Tokyo

When I learned about what Objective Trading had to offer, I was amazed how limited the information I had regard investments in Japan. For foreigners interaction with Japanese companies is some what hard especially when it comes to investments. I found Objective Trading gave me solutions that were tailored specifically to what I want. I experienced exceptional service and support, and I am comfortable knowing there is a team of professionals behind me for the long term. K.B., Kobe

Growing up my Dad tried to get me interested in investing. He told me it was important, but I wasn’t interested. I wish I’d paid more attention when I was young and not started so late. These days I love checking my plan online and seeing that I made money. Now I know what my Dad meant making your money work for you! It finally makes sense to me. J.P., Yokohama

I’m a mechanical engineer, so I like to know how things work. Objective Trading was really helpful with information. It took me a while to get started because I wanted to do lots of due diligence and research before I created my portfolio. These days, I like researching my investments and learning WHY my funds are going up. It’s been a great introduction to the global investment markets. V.L., Tokyo

I work for a large multi-national company. Every couple of years I'm moved to a different country. This has made it very difficult for me to keep track of my bank accounts let alone my investments. [My Account Manager at Objective Trading] helped me set up an investment plan that allows me to contribute from anywhere in the world, as well as check on it through the Internet. And when I had a question he was never more than a call away. I started my plan in Tokyo, moved to Dubai, and now am currently in Singapore. D.D., Singapore

With the uncertain state of our government pension I'm glad I was able to take control of my future and set up my own retirement savings plan with Objective Trading. Who knows what will happen to social security schemes in the next 20 to 30 years, all I know is I'll be able to take care of myself regardless. M.B., Kyoto

There are a number of financial advisory firms around, and it may seem as one size fits all. It’s not! Shop around. I was looking for advice on how best to invest money over the years, according to my current situation. I wanted a financial road map based on me and for me. I am extremely pleased with Objective Trading’s efforts to fulfill my needs, my own personal detailed plan where I am in control, but not on my own. S.M., Tokyo

I wanted to start investing for a long time but I didn’t know where to begin. I contacted Objective Trading and we did a complete review of my situation and my objectives. Now I’m on the right path and my financial future looks great!
J.H.R., Tokyo

I'm investing without needing to understand Wall Street, and getting fantastic service. D.R. Kawasaki
