So far this year the Japanese stock market has outperformed many other stock markets globally, with the Nikkei 225 index reaching a 33-year high. This is reflected in legendary investor Warren Buffett’s heavy investment into Japan’s five biggest trading houses. While traditionally Japanese stocks have been regarded as some of the cheapest in the developed world, share prices are rising as a result of improving economic conditions and shareholder-friendly corporate governance reforms. 

Furthermore, as a result of inflation, many households have chosen to move their savings into stocks and shares - a departure from the trend during deflationary times when cash was favoured. For investors, the key question is whether or not this revival of the Japanese stock market will last. How does this tie into the current state of the Japanese economy? How can investors take advantage of this market?

This webinar – hosted by the Financial Times and Nikkei – will explore the macroeconomic trends in Japan, how they are impacting the recent rally in the Japanese stock market, what factors will determine if this trend will continue, and how investors can capitalise.
