Increasing Attention to the Role Played by Individuals in the Rising Trend of Stock Ownership

By Aki Matsumoto

  • The percentage of stockholdings by individuals will continue rising. Their tendency to buy-on-decline will continue to serve as a cushion in times of falling stocks as well as voting behavior.
  • Now that the BOJ’s ETF purchases have subsided, an increase in trust bank stock holdings is not expected. A limited increase in pension assets is also expected.
  • The reduction in cross-shareholdings has reduced the shareholding ratio of corporations to 19.6%. Meanwhile, corporations repurchased total of 5,790.7 billion yen in FY2022, indicating that share repurchases have taken root.
