I suppose it's probably my own fault for not making sure my name is written exactly the same way everywhere. I don't usually use my middle name in most circumstances (in English or Japanese), but I do if it is required (or depending on the name entry format in the application or whatever). I guess I...

Also make sure to link the credit card beforehand just in case there's weird name matching problem. Taking this good advice, I just tried to register my new Rakuten credit card on my Rakuten Shoken account, and, to my dismay, there is indeed a "weird name matching problem." :cry: The prob...

^^^Many thanks Nanaya--I *think* I understand now...

Yeah, I'm no expert on website design, but it seems they could do better. It feels like go...

I wonder if anyone here can help me with this. I have my NISA account with Rakuten Shoken. I sold some funds at the beginning of the year after they had been moved from my old NISA into my regular taxable (tax-reporting) account so that I could use the money to purchase funds in the new NISA. In the...

I'm going to wait until the funds move into taxable to avoid issues with selling the wrong ones, etc. Well, if even you have concerns about that, then I think it would be best for me to do the same and wait till next year to sell the funds. Since it's quite a large sum, it would a nightmare to sell...

https://www.retirejapan.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3251 Thanks for that. Well, that would seem to mean that it would be the longest-held units, i.e. the units that are about to be moved out of the NISA, that would be sold. As an aside, would I be correct in assuming that most people who intend to re...
