【Background】

In recent years, against the backdrop of the permanent establishment and expansion of the NISA system, interest in long-term, cumulative investment has increased among a wide range of people, including younger generations. In particular, the US stock market has continued to trade at historically high levels, and investment demand for individual US stocks has also increased.

In addition, due to advances in technologies such as generative AI, the collection, analysis, and selection of information on individual stocks is becoming more accessible and sophisticated than ever. The company believes that demand for accumulating individual stocks of "companies we want to support" or "companies expected to grow" little by little from small amounts, not just through diversified investment via investment trusts or indices, will continue to expand. Under such circumstances, stock accumulation investment targeting individual stocks is expected to become a powerful option for long-term asset building.

Since the release of Japanese stock accumulation in December 2025, DMM.com Securities has received many requests from investors for US stock accumulation. The Company has taken on the role of expanding functions such as US stock trading timetable support and exchange rate linkage, enabling the additional release of the US stock accumulation function this time.

【Future Outlook】

The Company will continue to support the diverse service development of securities firms. Going forward, we will strengthen the foundation for supporting long-term asset building through further expansion of covered stocks, improvement of investor-oriented UI/UX, and advanced automation of accumulation plans.
