TOPIX reform fuels buying in Japanese small and mid-caps

Original: topix

Japanese markets are focused on the second phase of the TOPIX index reform, which takes effect at the end of this month. Financial media report expectations of large inflows of new money into stocks being added or upgraded in the index, with analysts highlighting specific small and mid-cap candidates. Companies like Starzen are strengthening shareholder measures to retain their TOPIX membership, while well-performing newcomers are tipped for inclusion. The discussion comes as the Nikkei average returned to the 70,000 level for the first time in three months.

Why now: The TOPIX index reshuffle at the end of the month is prompting investors to reposition ahead of expected index-driven fund flows.
