On July 3, 2023, JPX Market Innovation & Research, Inc. (JPXI) began calculating the new "JPX Prime 150 Index" which selects its component stocks with a focus on value creation, and the "Tokyo Stock Exchange REIT Leveraged (2x) Index," "Tokyo Stock Exchange REIT Inverse (-1x) Index," and "Tokyo Stock Exchange REIT Double Inverse (-2x) Index" which are calculated by multiplying the fluctuation of the Tokyo Stock Exchange REIT Index by two, minus one, and minus two respectively.
The JPX Prime 150 Index is designed to make visible the leading Japanese companies that are expected to create value. Through making it and its constituent stocks the target of medium- to long-term investment by institutional and individual investors in Japan and abroad, JPXI aims for the JPX Prime 150 Index to contribute to the take-up of value creation-focused management and increase the appeal of the Japanese stock market.
In consideration of the various investor needs relating to REITs, from September 4, 2023, JPX Market Innovation & Research, Inc.

In addition to the three indexes to be launched this time, JPXI has also been calculating and publishing the "Tokyo Stock Exchange REIT Logistics Focus Index" since July 20, 2020. JPXI aims to serialize these four as the "Tokyo Stock Exchange REIT Sector Focus Index Series," to answer the specific investment needs in the REIT sector.
