eToro adds Japanese stocks and launches JapanEconomy portfolio
Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates – April 13, 2026: eToro, the trading and investing platform, announced today it is adding all stocks listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE) to the platform. The first batch of stocks, which includes all companies in the Nikkei 225 index, is now available for trading. eToro users will also benefit from real-time market data to support their investing experience.
George Naddaf, Managing Director of eToro MENA, said: “Japan represents a compelling opportunity for investors in the region, supported by its strong industrial base, innovative technology, and ongoing corporate governance reforms. As MENA investors increasingly look to diversify internationally, the addition of Japanese equities and the JapanEconomy portfolio offers a simple and efficient way to access one of the world’s most established and liquid markets.”
Yossi Brandes, VP of Execution Services at eToro, said: “The launch of Japanese stocks is another major step in making eToro a truly global investing platform. We now offer access to more than 11,000 common stocks across 26 exchanges worldwide, reinforcing our position as a leading global broker-dealer with one of the most comprehensive stock offerings available to retail investors.
“With full access to the Nikkei 225, our users can trade some of Japan’s most iconic and liquid companies, including Toyota and Mitsubishi. Japan is the world’s third-largest equity market, and this expansion gives our users even more opportunities to diversify globally and capture growth across regions and sectors.”
To provide investors with a simple way to gain exposure to this market, eToro is launching a new investment portfolio, JapanEconomy. The portfolio consists of 30 TSE-listed stocks, evaluated based on their market capitalisation, liquidity and analyst consensus to ensure high diversification. Reflecting the main drivers of the Japanese economy, roughly half of the portfolio is focused on industrials and technology, while the remaining part focuses on the consumer, communications and financial sectors.
According to eToro’s latest Retail Investor Beat, a quarterly survey of 11,000 retail investors located across 13 countries, the percentage of retail investors who believe that Japan’s stock market will generate the strongest returns in the next five years or more has nearly tripled, from 5% to 14%, compared to two years ago.
Lale Akoner, Global Market Strategist at eToro, said: “Japan is re-emerging as a structural equity story, as reforms and policy normalisation reset the market’s long-term return profile. Japanese companies are delivering better earnings visibility, while governance reforms continue to enhance shareholder returns. As global investors seek diversification, especially away from the US, Japan stands out as a market combining depth, liquidity, and structural reform momentum. Giving retail investors access to the Nikkei 225 allows them to participate in one of the most compelling market transformations underway.”
The latest Retail Investor Beat was based on a survey of 11,000 retail investors across 13 countries and 3 continents. The following countries had 1,000 respondents: UK, US, Germany, France, Australia, Singapore, Italy and Spain. The following countries had 600 respondents: Netherlands, Denmark, Poland, Romania, and the Czech Republic.
The survey was conducted from 12 – 27 February 2026 and carried out by research company Opinium. Retail investors were defined as self-directed or advised and had to hold at least one investment product including shares, bonds, funds, investment ISAs or equivalent. They did not need to be eToro users.
