Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s election win will encourage investors in Japanese bonds and stocks who benefited from the first two years of his policies.
Government notes returned 2.9 percent on annualized basis since Abe took office in December 2012, the most since Taro Aso’s tenure during the global financial crisis and twice the 1.4 percent gain for U.S. Treasuries, data from Bank of America Merrill Lynch show. The Topix stock index gained 32 percent a year, the most for any premier in at least two decades.
