We don’t think that the recent strong gains in Japan’s equity market mark the start of a significant reversal of its decades-long underperformance; we expect it to lag other markets over the rest of this year in local-currency terms and to perform broadly in line with them in dollar terms. And while we suspect it might outperform the US market a bit next year, that’s largely due to what we think will be disappointing US returns; we doubt Japan’s market will do any better than developed markets outside the US in 2024.
