Fine once you understand the conditions
This score is this site's own. It measures how accessible the lottery is without a large balance — not the chance that you will win. The same calculation is used on the Japanese pages.
💰Upfront deposit
Required. Funds are locked at 22:00 on the business day before the draw.
🎯How the lottery works
At least 10% of the allocation excluding institutional investors is drawn at random, normally one lot per winner.
🆓Fees
You pay only for the shares. No commission.
⚠️Penalty for declining
Yes. Declining an initial win blocks you for about a month.
Read the prospectus and apply through online trading. Your balance is checked on the day you apply.
At 22:00 on the business day before the draw, the top of the indicative range multiplied by your application is locked from your buying power.
Results appear after 17:00 on the day of the draw: initial win, runner-up, or promoted.
An initial winner must buy between the first day of the offering period and 03:00 the following business day.
Runners-up may still be promoted if winners decline.
A joint venture between Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group and Morgan Stanley, it acts as lead underwriter on major listings — Tier IV in 2026, for example. Lead underwriters receive the largest allocations, which is what makes an account here worth holding.
At least 10% of the allocation, excluding the institutional portion, is set aside for a random mechanical draw among online applicants. Winners normally receive one lot each, which spreads the shares across more people rather than concentrating them.
Two things to plan around. Your money is locked at 22:00 on the business day before the draw, calculated from the top of the indicative price range. And declining an initial win blocks you from applying online for about a month, so only apply if you intend to buy.
A joint venture between Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group and Morgan Stanley, strong in large domestic and international listings and in M&A advisory. Note that Mitsubishi UFJ eSmart Securities, part of the same group, sometimes handles the same listings as a delegated underwriter.
