Field Survey Process

This issue's field research team traveled to Tokyo as planned to conduct an on-site visit to the brokerage firm GMO Gaika. Publicly available information lists its office address as SHIBUYA FUKURAS, 1-2-3, Dogenzaka, Shibuya-Ku, Tokyo, 150-0043.

The professional and experienced field research team, driven by a sense of responsibility to rigorously verify the integrity of investors, followed a carefully crafted plan and traveled to Tokyo. Based on the aforementioned address, they conducted an on-site inspection of the brokerage firm GMO Gaika.

Based on the address, the field research team traveled to the Dogenzaka area of Shibuya Ward, Tokyo, searching for GMO Gaika located at SHIBUYA FUKURAS. The field research team successfully arrived at the building located near a major shopping mall in Shibuya. The office building boasts a luxurious atmosphere and a bustling streetscape. The overall ambiance of the company campus and surrounding streets is luxurious, and the field research team successfully captured a panoramic view of the building.

The field research team was able to enter the company lobby and clearly saw the GMO Gaika name on a sign inside the building. The company logo is also displayed both inside and outside the building. 

The inspection team was able to reach the specific floor and confirm the company's location. Upon reaching the first floor, they were directly at the reception desk, and they successfully photographed the reception desk, which bore the company logo. The inspection team was able to enter the building, but was unable to proceed further, as the company's interior was located further inside. The address was not a shared office, and the company's internal office environment was described as luxurious.

Thus, the inspection confirmed that the brokerage firm GMO Gaika actually existed at the aforementioned address, and it matched the address listed on the inspection form.

Field Survey Summary

The surveyors visited GMO Gaika as planned and observed the broker's company name and logo displayed prominently at the publicly shown business address, indicating the physical presence of the broker's business. Investors are advised to take all factors into consideration before making a decision.
