Originally founded in 1878, the Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE\/TYO) is home to some of the world\u2019s biggest companies, and in 1990, accounted for more than 60% of all stock market capitalisation. It is currently the world\u2019s third-largest stock exchange<\/a> by market capitalisation, with over 3,700 listed companies valued at more than $5.6 trillion (about \u00a34.5 trillion).<\/p>

Can I invest in the Tokyo Stock Exchange from the UK?<\/h3>

Yes, you can invest in the Tokyo Stock Exchange from the UK, and many Japanese stocks are available to buy on foreign stock exchanges like the NASDAQ<\/a>, New York Stock Exchange<\/a> and London Stock Exchange<\/a>. While you\u2019ll need to be a Japanese citizen or permanent resident to directly trade stocks on the TSE, many trading platforms and brokers list stocks from the Tokyo Stock Exchange, which means they can be bought using your UK account.<\/p>

How to invest in the Tokyo Stock Exchange<\/h3>
  1. Choose a broker or trading platform.<\/strong> When choosing a trading platform<\/a>, consider things like usability and cost. If you\u2019re looking to invest in specific TSE stocks, you should also check that that specific platform or broker lists the stocks you\u2019re interested in buying.<\/li>
  2. Open a share-trading account.<\/strong> Once you\u2019ve selected a broker or platform, you\u2019ll need to open a trading account<\/a> so you can start investing in Japanese stocks.<\/li>
  3. Deposit funds.<\/strong> In order to begin trading, you\u2019ll need to deposit money into your account. Depending on which platform you use, your money may automatically be converted from pounds into Japanese yen, US dollars, or another currency, and you may need to pay a foreign exchange fee.<\/li>
  4. Buy TSE stocks.<\/strong> Once your account is funded, you\u2019ll be able to buy and sell shares. Use the platform or broker\u2019s search function to find the specific Japanese stock you want to buy.<\/li><\/ol>
