As the Japanese capital market structure undergoes significant changes, corporate governance reforms and increased shareholder returns have attracted a large influx of international funds into the Japanese stock market.

Data shows that the size of index funds tracking major Japanese companies continues to grow, with several Japanese stock ETFs reaching asset sizes of billions of dollars, covering over 180 large companies in industries such as automotive, electronics, and manufacturing.

Analysts believe that Japanese listed companies are continuously increasing dividends and stock buybacks, making the Japanese stock market more attractive to global investors. At the same time, the Japanese government’s efforts to promote corporate reforms and improve capital efficiency have also become important factors driving the inflow of funds.
