Sanae Takaichi Makes History as Japan's First Female Leader, Sparking Market Surge

Sanae Takaichi has made history by becoming the first woman to potentially lead Japan, the world's third-largest economy, after winning the ruling LDP's internal party election. Her victory sparked a significant surge in the Japanese stock market. The Nikkei 225 index soared nearly 5% following Takaichi's win, surpassing the 47,000-point mark for the first time. Investors reacted positively to Takaichi's stance on economic reforms and loose monetary and fiscal policies. Meanwhile, the yen depreciated, and long-term government bonds lost value. The WisdomTree Japan Equity UCITS ETF - USD Hedged (ISIN: IE00BVXC4854) has proven to be a smart choice for European and North American investors. Over five years, it has outperformed both the Nikkei 225 and the largest European Japan ETF. Its currency hedge has been a key advantage, preventing underperformance during volatile market phases. The ETF focuses on high-quality, export-oriented Japanese companies with attractive dividend profiles and meets WisdomTree's ESG criteria. In the new political environment dominated by Takaichi, this ETF is expected to continue outperforming conventional Japan ETFs. Main investors include institutional investors such as pension funds, asset management firms, and insurance companies. Takaichi's win has brought significant changes to the Japanese market. The Nikkei 225's historic jump and the yen's depreciation are notable outcomes. For investors, the WisdomTree Japan Equity UCITS ETF - USD Hedged remains a strong choice, offering a diversified investment in Japanese stocks with a currency hedge and a focus on high-quality, dividend-paying companies that meet ESG criteria. As Takaichi's policies take shape, the ETF is poised to continue its strong performance.
