Japan Post Bank (7182 JP) was effectively re-IPOed in March when Japan Post Holdings (6178 JP) offered more than a BILLION shares against the 400mm shares then in float. 
It was a huge offering. A huge increase in float. Lots of immediate liquidity. A PERFECT opportunity for the TSE to do an ad hoc FFW change. But they didn't. 
Then in June they lowered the FFW (on a technicality). That leaves a big upweight in October. In this insight we measure the opportunity.
