Investing in Japan: Is it still an opportunity?
What might be required for a continued stock market gain.
Key takeaways
- Japan is off to a strong start in 2024 after becoming the surprise international investing story in 2023, driven by technical factors and improving economic and corporate fundamentals.
- The market has since drawn more interest from professional investors even as stocks have become more expensive, influenced partly by corporate governance and shareholder remuneration efforts.
- Continued gains may need to be supported by price and wage increases that could help close the door on a decades-long run of deflation.
- Active managers may be in position to find the best opportunities in the country.
