Quantitative Analysis

<div>
When Japanese small-cap stocks listed on JASDAQ, MOTHERS, and the Second Section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange aim at the big leagues and apply for reassignment to the First Section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange and are accepted, it causes significant events to occur.
This triggers inclusion into the TOPIX Index which means passive funds tracking TOPIX need to buy on an inclusion event. This opens up several interesting trading opportunities for investors. 
In this insight, I have provided performance updates for 3 "Live" event stocks which have announced their TSE1 move in  October 2020 and 5 "Post" event stocks that completed their Inclusion Events today and some Pre-event trades involving stocks that are likely to become TSE1-promotion candidates in the near future.

The decision as to whether the stock will be permitted to join the First or Second Section could depend on the success of this offering. If the company moves to the First Section, it would trigger inclusion into the TOPIX Index and the Inclusion Event could be expected to be at the close of trading 27th November 2020. Below is a look at the company's chances of qualifying for the First Section and the attractiveness of the potential Inclusion Event if they manage to qualify.
