In the “Popular Theme Rankings” Compiled by Minkabu and Kabutan, “Yomiuri 333” Has Risen to 17th Place.

Japan’s Financial Services Agency Announced on the 1st That It Has Added the “Yomiuri Stock Price Index (Yomiuri 333)” and the “JPX Prime 150 Index,” Developed by Japan Exchange Group, Inc. <8697>, to the List of Stock Indices Eligible for the Tsumitate (Systematic Investment) NISA (Nippon Individual Savings Account) Framework. This Enables the Creation of Investment Trusts Linked to These Indices as Eligible Products Under the Tsumitate Program.

Following the Enactment of FY2026 Tax Reform-Related Legislation, the Financial Services Agency Revised Its Public Notice on March 31, Effective April 1. Previously, Eligible Domestic Equity Indices Under the Tsumitate Framework Were Limited to Four, Including the Nikkei Stock Average and TOPIX; This Revision Expands the Range of Eligible Products. In Line with This Change, Asset Management One Launched the “Tawara No-Load Yomiuri 333” on April 1. In Addition, Mitsubishi UFJ Asset Management’s “eMAXIS Slim Domestic Stocks (Yomiuri 333)” and “Tsumitate Japanese Stocks (Yomiuri 333)” Are Now Eligible for Investment Under the NISA Tsumitate Framework.

The “Yomiuri 333” Is an Equity Index That Began Calculation and Publication on March 24, 2025. It Comprises 333 Representative Japanese Companies and Is Characterized by an Equal-Weighting Methodology, Under Which All Constituents Are Assigned the Same Weight. As a Result, the Index Is Less Concentrated in Large-Cap Stocks and Facilitates Broad Diversification Across the Japanese Equity Market, Including Small- and Mid-Cap Stocks. With Its Inclusion in the NISA Tsumitate Framework, Market Attention Is Expected to Increase Further.
