Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study examines possible legal risks concerning intermediated shares and the effectiveness of fintech in reducing these risks. Shares held through intermediaries became increasingly prominent during the latter half of the twentieth century against the backdrop of increased share trading and cross-over shareholdings, where shares are held through global custodians and local/sub-custodians. However, such changes in the holding structure have been observed much faster than theoretical understanding can keep up with.
This study assumes that fintech might reduce legal risks caused by these legal uncertainties regarding intermediation by simplifying the real holding structure and explores the possibilities and limitations that fintech may bring in the future.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究は、上場会社における株式の振替決済および口座管理等に伴う実務を背景に、発行会社と株主(投資家)との間に中間機関が複数介在するチェイン保有に焦点を当て、当該チェイン保有に伴う法的リスクの所在を検討し抽出するとともに、当該法的リスクの低減に資する新しい技術の有効性を検討し、その役割・効果を分析するものである。技術の進展による恩恵を法律関係(法理論構築)の単純化およびそのことによる法的リスクの低減という形で受け止め、近時の技術の進展と法理論構築とを結びつける試みは先行研究でもほとんどみられないものである。そのような独自かつ新規の分析軸を有する点に本研究の学術的価値があると考えられる。
