Trust Preservation
What Makes Hirose’s
Fund Protection So Secure ?
Ever found yourself wondering…
the highest level of client fund protection in the industry.
WHAT IS TRUST PRESERVATION?
Trust preservation is the gold standard of fund protection.
It means your deposited funds, including unrealized and confirmed profits,
are completely separated from Hirose’s own assets and managed
by a third party – like a trust bank.
Even if the unthinkable happens and Hirose goes bankrupt,
your funds are safe, untouched, and fully refundable
– directly from a third-party trust bank.
“No matter what happens to us, your money stays yours.”
We protect your DEPOSIT as well as your PROFIT!
In Japan, our trust preservation is not limited to protect deposit amounts.
All client’s net assets, including these amounts below, are subject to trust protection:
DEPOSIT
AMOUNT
TRADING
PROFITS
OPEN POSITION
VALUATIONS
Why it matters?

Who Is Checking Your Funds ?
The Role of Third-Party Verification in Trust Protection
When it comes to protecting your funds, not all systems are created equal. The difference in safety is not TRUST but the difference in structure. Let’s break it down:
Looks Safe, But…
Segregated management means a broker keeps client funds in a separate account from the company’s own money without third party verification.
Some brokers say they “separate” client funds. But here’s what that really means:
- ❌ The broker still controls the money
- ❌ No third party checks the balance
- ❌ No daily verification
- ❌ Problems often only appear after something goes wrong such as bankruptcy
Without third party verification, saying ‘your money is safe’ doesn’t really mean much.
Real Protection
With trust preservation, your funds are completely separated from the Hirose broker’s money and managed by a licensed trust bank — a neutral third party.
Here what happens every business day:
- ✔️ The trust bank checks your account balance, trading profits/losses, and the broker’s reports.
- ✔️ If anything doesn’t match, the trust bank can:
- Demand the broker to deposit more funds
- Issue a corrective order
- In serious cases, suspend the broker’s business
The Broker with Trust Preservation can’t change the numbers afterward because the system is built to prevent misuse before it happens.
The Real Difference: Structure, Not Just Trust
The key question isn’t “Do you trust your broker?”
It’s: “Is the system built to protect you in any circumstances?”
With trust preservation, the answer is YES.
With segregated management, the answer is… MAYBE.
Choose a broker with trust preservation like Hirose, because real safety comes from structure, not promises.
