Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the report Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - Japan has been in a low - even negative - interest rate environment since the bubble burst in the 1990s. The allocation of residents' wealth has evolved from non - financial assets to diversified financial assets and from conservative savings to gradually accepting risk assets, which is closely related to the macro - economic cycle, policy innovation, and population structure adjustment [1][13] - Over the 30 - year change, Japanese residents' asset allocation shows a general characteristic of "mainly conservative and steadily growing", with the proportion of non - financial assets continuously decreasing, financial assets dominated by cash, deposits, insurance, and pensions, and the proportion of equity assets slowly increasing. Low - interest rates, population aging, and policy incentives are the key factors driving the change [62] Group 3: Summary by Directory 2.1. 1990 - 2000s: Retreat of Real Estate Allocation after the Economic Bubble Burst, Shift to Low - Risk Assets - After the economic bubble burst in the 1990s, stock and real estate prices dropped sharply. The average annual growth rate of per - capita GDP fell from about 6% in the 1980s to 0.6% in the next 30 years, and the CPI average annual growth rate declined from a peak of 3.25% in 1991 to - 0.13% in 1995 [14] - Japanese residents withdrew from non - financial assets mainly in real estate and shifted to low - risk financial assets. From 1990 to 2003, the proportion of non - financial assets decreased from 63.8% to 42.7%, and the proportion of land assets decreased from 54.3% to 32.7%, while the proportion of financial assets increased to 57.3% [17] - In financial assets, the risk preference of Japanese residents decreased. Cash and deposits became the dominant part of financial asset allocation, with the proportion rising to over 50%. Insurance and pensions also became the second - largest part, with the proportion reaching 28% in 2000. The proportion of bonds decreased significantly as the long - term interest rate approached zero [21][27] 2.2. 2000 - 2010s: Intensified Aging, Increased Proportion of Insurance - Type Assets - After 2000, Japan maintained ultra - low interest rates. The central bank implemented QE and other policies. Although there was a short - term recovery in 2006, the long - term low - interest environment continued [31] - The short - term recovery of the stock index and interest rates around 2006 slightly increased the proportion of residents' risk - asset allocation, but the impact was limited. The proportion of bond - type asset allocation continued to decline [34] - Due to the zero - interest rate, the attractiveness of time deposits weakened, and the proportion of current deposits increased from 29.5% to 46.2% from 2000 to 2010 [35] - Japan faced rapid aging. The government carried out pension reform, which promoted a slight increase in the total proportion of residents' cash, deposits, insurance, and pensions in financial assets to 85% from 2000 to 2010 [38] - The proportion of pensions and insurance in financial assets remained at about 30% in the 2000s, as the number of people depositing and withdrawing pensions both increased [42] 2.3. 2010 - 2020s: Multiple Policies Drive the Recovery of Equity Investment, Diversification of Asset Allocation - In 2010, Japan introduced comprehensive monetary easing policies. In 2013, it implemented QQE, and in 2016, it launched YCC, which compressed the return space of fixed - income products and promoted an increase in the proportion of residents' equity asset allocation. The proportion of bond allocation further decreased close to 0 [47] - With policy incentives and economic stabilization, the stock market recovered. The NISA and iDeCo systems, along with innovative investment products, made residents' asset management shift from single - deposit to long - term goal - oriented investment. The proportion of equity assets in iDeCo accounts increased year by year, and the proportion of Japanese residents' equity and investment funds in financial assets rose from less than 10% before 2010 to about 15% from 2015 - 2022 [7][54] - Overseas asset allocation emerged as an important way to increase wealth. From 2015 to 2023, the total scale of Japanese public investment trusts in overseas stocks, bonds, and investment funds increased from 26.6 trillion yen to 78.7 trillion yen, and the scale of Japanese residents' foreign securities investment exceeded twice that in 2010 by 2023 [58] 2.4. Summary - The 30 - year change in Japanese residents' asset allocation is characterized by a continuous decrease in non - financial assets, dominance of cash, deposits, insurance, and pensions in financial assets, and a slow increase in the proportion of equity assets. Low - interest rates, population aging, and policy incentives are the driving factors [62]

Group 3: Financial Literacy and Mindset - The importance of financial literacy is highlighted, with individuals encouraged to invest time in understanding financial concepts and asset allocation based on their risk tolerance [4][5]. - A stable mindset is essential, as successful wealth preservation relies on consistent, long-term strategies rather than chasing quick profits [4][5].
