Mega-wealthy Japanese will contribute to a more than 30% surge in the value of assets they invest by the end of the decade as cash-heavy households deploy more in markets, according to an analysis by Morgan Stanley.

The investments by the combined segment of ultra-high net worth individuals and the “upper affluent” will reach 906 trillion yen ($5.8 trillion) by 2030, up from the current level of around 690 trillion yen, the report on the country’s wealth transition showed.
