Japan’s FSA Pushes for Investors Under 18 to Get NISA Access

Japan’s Financial Services Agency has proposed broadening investor access to the government’s tax-free stock investment program to allow people younger than 18 to build long-term asset portfolios.

The FSA says its proposal for the Nippon Individual Savings Account program will be submitted to the government by the end of August, including a request to expand eligible products, according to documents on its 2026 tax reform proposals seen by Bloomberg.
