Today, Tokyo Stock Exchange, Inc. (TSE) and Nikkei Inc. (Nikkei)　launched a new index, the "JPX-Nikkei Mid and Small Cap Index".
Based on the same concept as JPX-Nikkei Index 400, the JPX-Nikkei Mid and Small Cap Index showcases "companies with high appeal for investors". We believe that launching this new index--with a focus on Mid and Small Cap stocks--will contribute to further development of and increased activity in the Japanese stock market.
