How do overseas investors invest in the Japanese market?

The Japanese stock market is strengthening due to several comprehensive factors: long-term maintenance of low interest rates, stimulating the economy and increasing domestic demand and investment at the corporate level, and reducing financing costs at the stock market level.

Japanese financial conglomerates, similar to the "Big Seven" in the US stock market, also play an important role in the secondary market, with relatively low valuation and high dividends, supporting the inflow of funds.
