Features and Problems of Tokyo s Markets as a Financial Center Equity market Bond market Derivative market High liquidity a strength; highly visible foreign investor presence a key feature. Very few foreign company listings compared with overseas markets. PTS trading in doldrums; domestic inter-market competition limited. HFT and algorithmic trading provide high levels of liquidity. Huge government bond issuance, 95% held by domestic Japanese investors. Corporate bond issuance limited compared with US; issues for the most part by companies thought particularly creditworthy. Corporate bonds held mostly by Japanese banks rather than foreign investors, thereby effectively limiting secondary market liquidity. Listed derivative trading smallscale by comparison with equity market. Around 7% of investors foreign; domestic investors play only a very minor role. Tendency for actively traded products to be equity indexoriented. Commodity-related and financerelated markets separate. Asset management business Japan the main center for Japanese share trading; Asian shares traded primarily in Hong Kong and Singapore. Following the financial crisis, however, Japanese share trading has also started to gravitate overseas. There are also investment companies that the Japan office is positioned as a sales office. Top-flight fund managers trading Japanese and/or Asian shares tend to move out of Japan. Business, living environment, other considerations Corporation and income tax high compared with other cities (Hong Kong, Singapore). English language business environment less favorable than other cities. Foreigner-friendly life-style infrastructure (schools, maids, nannies, English-language medical services) lacking compared with other cities Tokyo s systems and infrastructure are domestic marketoriented and settlement infrastructure and the like are not in conformity with global specifications.
