Rakuten Securities organized an event for families at the Tokyo Stock Exchange on August 13 to introduce the upcoming Junior NISA program, set to launch in January 2027. About 100 parent-child pairs attended the event, which featured discussions led by a financial planner and a tour of the stock exchange. The new Junior NISA, or Kodomo NISA, will allow children aged 17 and under to invest up to 600,000 yen annually, with a maximum tax-free holding limit of 6 million yen.
This program aims to encourage long-term investment and asset building for younger generations. Rakuten Securities hopes the event will deepen families' understanding of the program and attract new customers, as many attendees were already the company's clients.
