Under our internal rule, the “deadline” to transfer from “Investors” to “Professional Investors” should be principally completed within one year from the date of the first August 31st after the approval date of such a transfer is requested. (Even if the date is a national holiday in Japan) After the “deadline” date the clients that have been requested to transfer from “Professional Investors” to “Investors” and wish to renew, should apply for it within the time specified as “deadline”. In addition, after the approval date to transfer the status of investors, Strategic Capital Inc. will accept the former status to become “Investors” at any time.
