moomoo Securities sponsored the "Market and Economic Summit 2024" organized by Nikkei CNBC and ended successfully with an attendance of about 2,000 people.

moomoo Securities Co., Ltd. (moomoo, headquartered in Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, President: Francisco Izawa) sponsored the "Market and Economic Summit 2024", which is the 25th anniversary of the opening of Nikkei CNBC, on September 16th. Prior to the U.S. presidential election, about 2,000 individual investors gathered at the conference and engaged in heated discussions about the future of the world economy and the AI boom.

At this summit, under the theme of "How to view the major turning point of the era", journalist Akira Ikegami had a discussion with Masataka Osaki, the representative of NVIDIA, a leading company in the semiconductor industry, and deputy president of the U.S. headquarter. They discussed the current situation and challenges of the semiconductor industry in Japan. Economist Emin Yurmas discussed the market outlook after the U.S. presidential election, and prominent individual investor Hiroto Kiridaira gave a lecture on Japanese stocks and shareholder benefits.

Francisco Izawa, President and CEO of moomoo Securities, gave a lecture on the theme of "The Future of Investment, Transformed by Technology". He introduced the trend that more than 50% of investors on the moomoo app, which is used by 23 million people worldwide, are investing in semiconductor-related stocks and ETFs. He also revealed that more than 55% of ETF trading volume in the Japanese market was related to semiconductor stocks.

In addition, an analysis using the voting function in the app showed that 90% of investors were optimistic about the NVIDIA stock price during the sharp decline in global stock markets in early August. President Izawa stated, "There was a strong interest in semiconductor-related stocks, and trading enthusiasm remained high." As a one-stop investment platform for Japanese and U.S. stocks, more than 60% of domestic investors using moomoo Securities have achieved positive returns through U.S. stock investments (from September 2023 to the end of August 2024).

As a way to find the next Nvidia, Mr. Izawa explained that companies with high market growth and high growth rates in earnings and market share have a high potential to become the next Nvidia. He also introduced the industry-related diagram (supply chain) analysis function and the screener function that allows you to search for high-growth industries and companies on the moomoo app. He mentioned that he wants to open up investment information so that professional investors can access the information that was previously only available to them.

At the event, prominent individual investors Takezo-san, Nikkei CNBC caster Okamura Tomoya-san, Nikkei CNBC commentator and financial strategist Okazaki Ryosuke-san, and Japan Exchange Group's Tomita Akihiro-san appeared as lecturers for the mini seminars. In addition, there was a stamp rally and a support desk for opening moomoo brokerage accounts set up at the venue. There was also a lottery, and the venue was crowded with many visitors. Inside the venue, there was also a voting event by individual investors on the future of the U.S. presidential election and semiconductor-related stocks.

Furthermore, at the end of the event, Mr. Sugihara, the representative of Nasdaq in Japan and a global strategic partner of moomoo Securities, gave an outlook on IPOs in the U.S. market.
