Growth driven by Japan's leading companies
Did you know?
The Tokyo Stock Exchange is the world's third-largest by market capitalisation, home to global industry leaders in robotics, automotive manufacturing, consumer electronics, and specialty materials. Japan's corporate governance reforms — accelerated by the Tokyo Stock Exchange's 2023 directive pushing companies to improve return on equity and unwind cross-shareholdings — have driven renewed foreign institutional interest in Japanese equities. Japan has the world's oldest population by median age, creating structural economic pressures but also opportunities in sectors like automation, healthcare, and senior-focused consumer services.
