Summary · why it matters

The Tokyo Stock Exchange is preparing a major restructuring of the Topix index, reducing its constituent stocks by about 40% to fewer than 1,000 companies, down from roughly 1,600, in a bid to attract more investment. Exchange officials said on Wednesday that constituent selection will be based on factors such as market capitalization and trading volume. For 683 stocks selected from the existing list, their index weightings will be reduced on a quarterly basis starting from October 30. On the same day, 35 new stocks will be added to the index, including McDonald's Holdings (Japan) and Toei Animation. Japan Exchange Group, which operates the exchange, said that stocks that fail the October 2027 review will be removed from the index entirely by the end of July 2028, and from October 2028 onward, index constituents will be reviewed and rotated annually.
