By Aki Matsumoto

  • The percentage of shares held by individuals and trust banks fell from 17.6% to 16.9% and from 22.6% to 22.1%, respectively. Increasing individual investors’ investment in Japanese equities isn’t easy.
  • The presence of overseas investors will increase, as the percentage of shares held by foreigners, which has reached a record high, is expected to remain high in the future.
