Both companies want to bring data-driven investment tools to the Japanese market.
Starting October 2023, the partnership will offer local investors top-tier stock research tools.
TipRanks
Looking to
provide retail customers access to top-tier analytical tools, Rakuten
Securities Inc., a leading online brokerage in Japan, has revealed a strategic
partnership with TipRanks. Starting next month, this collaboration will equip
Japanese investors with data-driven resources for making well-informed choices
in global stock markets. Retail traders can now use the same data that major
hedge funds rely on a daily basis.
TipRanks and Rakuten Offer
a New Era for Japanese Investors
The
partnership will provide Rakuten Securities' clients with access to TipRanks'
comprehensive stock research tools. Investors can easily find recent analyst
ratings, forecasted price targets, and consensus opinions, thereby aiding them
in selecting the best stocks. Additionally, TipRanks will offer customized,
real-time lists of the most-rated stocks by analysts, further simplifying the
investment decision-making process.
Rakuten
Securities' clients will gain insights into the investment strategies of
leading hedge funds. TipRanks' data will reveal which stocks are included in a
hedge fund's portfolio and their buying and selling activities. This feature
enables investors to follow the investment patterns of hedge fund managers,
adding another layer of strategy to their investment decisions.
Uri Gruenbaum, CEO TipRanks
"TipRanks
is proud to enter the Japanese market with its integration into Rakuten
Securities' brokerage platform," Uri Gruenbaum, the CEO of TipRanks, said.
"Rakuten Securities, one of the two largest online brokerages in Japan,
has again proven its strength as the brokerage company of choice for all
customers – ranging from investment newcomers to seasoned traders – by choosing
to partner with TipRanks."
Gruenbaum
further emphasized that both companies will offer the latest stock research
data and tools, leveling the playing field for all investors.
Insider Trading
The
partnership will not only democratize access to high-quality financial data for
Japanese investors., but also introduce a feature that identifies insider
trading activities. TipRanks' technology scans Securities and Exchange
Commission's (SEC) filings to determine the latest insider transactions,
categorizing them as either informative or uninformative. Investors can then
decide which insiders to follow based on their historical performance.
“Thanks to
TipRanks’ wonderful service, Rakuten Securities users will be able to acquire
more extensive investment information that will affect the future stock prices
of individual US companies,” Yuji Kusunoki, the CEO of Rakuten Securities, commented.

Executive Interview | Charlotte Bullock | Chief Product Officer, Bank of London | FMLS:25
In this interview, we sat down with Charlotte Bullock, Head of Product at The Bank of London, previously at SAP and now shaping product at one of the sector’s most ambitious new banking players.
Charlotte reflects on the Summit so far and talks about the culture inside fintech banks today. We look at the pressures that come with scaling, and how firms can hold onto the nimble approach that made them stand out early on.
We also cover the state of payments ahead of her appearance on the payments roundtable: the blockages financial firms face, the areas that still need fixing, and what a realistic solution looks like in 2026.

In this conversation, we sit down with Drew Niv, CSO at ATFX Connect and one of the most influential figures in modern FX.
We speak about market structure, the institutional view on liquidity, and the sharp rise of prop trading, a sector Drew has been commenting on in recent months. Drew explains why he once dismissed prop trading, why his view changed, and what he now thinks the model means for brokers, clients and risk managers.
We explore subscription-fee dependency, the high reneging rate, and the long-term challenge: how brokers can build a more stable and honest version of the model. Drew also talks about the traffic advantage standalone prop firms have built and why brokers may still win in the long run if they take the right approach.

We start with Aydin’s view of the Summit and the challenges brokers face as fraud tactics grow more complex. He explains how firms can stay ahead through real-time signals, data patterns, and early-stage detection.
We also talk about AI training and why compliance teams often struggle to keep models accurate, fair, and aligned with regulatory expectations.
