    Exchange History The first commodity exchange in Japan was established in 1730 when the feudal government of

    Tokugawa responded to rice merchants' requests and authorized such transactions at the Dojima

    Rice Market in Osaka.

    Tokyo, then called Edo in the Tokugawa era, followed Osaka in establishing rice markets in towns

    such as Koami-cho and Kobuna-cho, as well as at warehouses of feudal domains, trading futures

    on rice produced in eastern part of Japan.

    The Tokyo Grain Exchange originates from the Kakigaracho Rice Trading Exchange, established in

    1874 by a group of the Chugai Shoko Kaisha. The Exchange then changed its name to the Tokyo

    Rice Trading Exchange, the Tokyo Rice Exchange and, in 1908, to the Tokyo Rice and Commodities

    Exchange.

    In July 1939, however, the economic control under the World War II forced the Exchange to

    close. It was not until September 1952, the Exchange was reestablished as the trading facility

    listing futures contracts on agricultural commodities, in response to the government lifting the

    policy of grain control the previous year.

    Since the start of futures trading on October 10, 1952, the reestablished exchange was housed in

    the same building it occupied in the pre-war era until it was newly constructed in November

    1987.

    Though there were only 3 futures contracts (Domestic Soybeans, Azuki Beans, Potato Starch) at

    the reopening, the Exchange has widened the listings over the years to include Corn, Soybeans

    and Non-GMO Soybeans, Arabica Coffee and other products.

    On November 2, 2009 TGE had a structural change from a non-profit membership organization to

    a for-profit corporation.

    Management Philosophy

    The Tokyo Grain Exchange conducts sound futures market management and disseminates fair and transparent

    commodity price indicators to the public. In addition, we provide opportunities for agricultural producers and

    commercials to hedge their price risks plays the role of an asset management facility for investors. Through the

    Business Strategy

    Within 5 years from the fiscal year 2009, our midterm business strategy is to establish ourselves as a

    G'local agricultural futures market by strengthening the management base through demutualization etc.,

    upgrade the trading infrastructure, development and listing of attractive products, organizational reform and

    enhancement and securing diversified and solid market participants etc. and securing high liquidity,

    trustworthiness, user friendly and efficiency. One of the measures is to demutualize from a membership

    organization in November 2009.

    Exchange

    Features In addition to commercial users as market participants, the general public also participates in

    trading at the Exchange. To serve a wide range of participants, the Exchange has maintained such

    features as listed below:

    Fast, Accurate and Large Volume Executions

    The Exchange is a highly organized market and in order to maintain efficiency and accuracy in the

    markets, we provide the following.

    Futures are traded in sessions at the fixed times during the trading day where orders from

    Exchange members and their customers are brought together to trade. Concentrating trading

    into a session makes it possible to execute transactions in a large volumes immediately and

    smoothly, without counter-party risks concerns as in the case of cash market.

    Fair Pricing

    The futures prices at the Exchange are formed accordingly to supply-demand situations,

    prevailing economic climate and international affairs as well as assessments and anticipations.

    The prices are disseminated through the Exchange website and the mass media throughout Japan

  • 8/7/2019 aiisnment derivativ

    8/21

    and overseas. The prices are benchmark figures for the related industries and global economy.

    Price Indication and Price Convergence

    While the prices are transmitted as price indicators for the related agricultural products, they

    promote price convergence of the spot price and the futures price. Convergence occurs among

    delivery months in futures as expiration nears. As a price benchmark, futures prices also reflect

    forecasts, so that when and if an forecasted event occurs, the market participant is provided with

    a risk absorber and is averted from unnecessary price fluctuations.

    Hedging

    Under the free economy, commodity prices fluctuate. Producers, processors and distributors of a

    commodity are constantly exposed to price risk due to these fluctuations.

    Futures markets serve as the place to hedge such risk. With the prices in futures and in cash

    market for the underlying commodity correlating, price risk can be hedged when an offsetting

    trade is executed in futures against cash market for the physical commodity. A hedge can be buy-

    hedge or sell-hedge and with additional use of options of the underlying commodity, risk

    management strategies would be enriched.

    As an Investment Instrument

    Since Margins, which are good-faith deposits, are only a part of the total value of the financial

    obligation required to maintain positions, market participants uses futures utilizing the highleverage effect. Another main feature of futures is, an initiating position can be made by bids and

    offers. Futures assist in expanding your investment opportunities. Also, futures are attracting a

    great deal of interest among investors as a vehicle to diversify a portfolio.
