2017年交易科技40：Oki Matsumoto

DOT-COM-ERA在线经纪销售于1999年，由前高盛萨克集团合作伙伴Oki Matsumoto，基于东京的Monex集团仍然是零售证券公司的核心。它的三个主要品牌是日本的Monex，过去两年的顾客从120万美元增加到170万;Tradestation，2011年的美国，技术开发中心，大约一半的Monex 857名员工的收购是基于的;并蓬勃发展，锚固亚太地区的亚太战略，港口摩尔国际。但是，Monex已经超越经纪多样化，资产管理，并购咨询，以及计划交易业务以及公司风险投资单位的Monex Ventures。

Because of a decline in trading volume, operating revenue in Japan from April through December, the first three quarters of Monex's 2017 fiscal year, fell 21.5 percent from the 2015 period, to ¥19.4 billion ($174 million), while U.S. revenue was flat at $106 million. Completed systems investments in what Monex calls a "new backbone" are expected to yield cost reductions of ¥150 million per month in the next fiscal year. "Our market information system is mission-critical, and it is running in the cloud, which allows us not only to lower costs but also to offer various services we couldn't do before," Matsumoto, 53, comments. "Without innovation, there is no future in our business."
