JPX group companies undertake various initiatives and disseminate information with the aim of providing the most attractive markets to all users.
Every month, we showcase the highlights of these efforts in short and concise summaries just for you.
London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) and JPX are expanding their existing partnership by developing new climate indices "the FTSE/JPX Net Zero Index Series" based on the TOPIX 500 which provides diversified exposure across the Japanese stock market. The FTSE/JPX Net Zero Index Series will aim to net zero by 2050 by applying index tilts to carbon emissions and fossil fuel reserves. Calculations for these indices are planned to be launched after April 2022.
JPX launched "J-Quants", a Proof of Concept (PoC) Project in January 2021 to provide a learning platform for trading using IT and data analysis and is now releasing an educational tool for the Stock Analysis Tutorial as an online course, which is provided as part of the PoC, on SIGNATE Quest. JPX will continue to consider providing an environment that facilitates easy trading using IT and data analysis based on the results of this project.
JPX has published the JPX Report 2021 to allow varied stakeholders to learn more about the corporate value of the JPX Group. The report provides not only financial information but also comprehensive information including non-financial information such as our corporate philosophy, corporate social role, and our initiatives toward value creation. We hope this report helps people deepen their understanding of JPX. We would also like to ask for your cooperation in filling out a brief survey on our website to improve future editions.
Major overseas exchange groups are advancing the diversification of their businesses and sophistication of their services by strengthening these kinds of digital and network-related businesses which utilize data and technologies. In Japan, too, changes in the external environment are rapidly progressing, such as the movement toward creating a market that utilizes new digital technologies.
In order to accurately respond to such external changes and further accelerate work toward diversifying our businesses and advancing sophistication of our services, JPX needs to aim for flexibility and mobility in business development through M&As and leveraging highly-skilled human resources while fostering a new culture that is different from the conventional "exchange" without being constrained by the traditional "exchange" framework. In order to establish a group structure which can radically strengthen and accelerate such initiatives, JPX resolved to establish a new subsidiary, JPX Market Innovation & Research, Inc.
