Japanese Household Financial Assets Database Released by Nikkei Research

Nikkei Research Inc.’s newest RADAR® database is a trove of information on personal income, expenditures, financial assets, and financial attitudes and plans.

TOKYO, JAPAN, March 28, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ — Nikkei Research Inc. has released a new version of its financial database product, RADAR^®: Japanese Household Financial Assets Database. It contains valuable information that is based on over 40 years of annual household survey results.

The RADAR^® survey asks respondents about their incomes, expenditures, and financial assets, as well as their attitudes about the current financial environment and intentions related to certain investment products. The survey is conducted by postal mail and direct door-to-door contact within the Greater Tokyo Metropolitan Area. Those targeted are from households with more than 1 person aged 20 or above. The 2021 survey collected information from a total of 2,843 households.

By using the data that we collect, we gain a better understanding of matters such as changes in the investment preferences of different age groups and personal investment activity. For example, we have learned that many members of the younger generations are attracted to the Tsumitate NISA, a long-term tax-efficient investment account. Significant numbers of such people are now proactively moving to include these accounts in their portfolios. Another recent development is our increased and nuanced understanding of how people in different age groups have reacted to stock price declines caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
