Profile
The TSE Insurance Sector Index is one of the 33 sector indices in the Tokyo Stock Exchange's traditional industry classification system. This index represents companies in the insurance industry listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. The sector is characterized by a high number of companies that are focused on domestic demand. It includes various types of insurance providers, such as life insurance, non-life insurance, and reinsurance companies. A notable aspect of this sector is that the major insurance companies, which are significant shareholders in the Japanese market, can be influenced by stock market trends. This is because these large insurers often hold substantial investment portfolios, including significant equity holdings, as part of their asset management strategies.
