Slide 2 / System Overview

New NISA 2024+:
Two Frameworks Explained

Launched January 2024 — a permanent upgrade over the old 5-year NISA
🔵 Growth Investment Framework
¥2.4M/year
Individual stocks, ETFs, and broad investment trusts. Ideal for dividend stocks and ETFs. ¥12M lifetime ceiling within overall ¥18M cap.
🟢 Tsumitate (Accumulation) Framework
¥1.2M/year
FSA-approved low-cost index funds only. Dollar-cost averaging every month. Best for long-term compounding. ¥18M shared lifetime cap with growth framework.

✅ Key Upgrade When you sell an asset, the used allowance returns the following year. This makes NISA a true "permanent tax-free account" — a lifetime vehicle, not a 5-year box.
Slide 3 / Growth Investment Strategy

Growth Framework Strategies:
Dividend Stocks, ETFs & Growth Picks

Tax-free dividends and capital gains — the compound effect without the tax drag
  • Strategy A
    High-Dividend Stock PortfolioJapanese dividend growth stocks (Kao, Mitsubishi Corp, etc.) or ETFs (NEXT FUNDS Nikkei High Dividend 50). Dividends received tax-free within NISA — equivalent to recovering 20.315% tax rate as additional reinvestment capital. Ideal for income investors.
  • Strategy B
    Low-Cost ETF CombinationTOPIX ETF (0.06% fee) + S&P500 ETF (1655) for simple, low-cost global diversification. Max out ¥2.4M/year in the Growth Framework over 5 years = ¥12M in ETFs — all capital gains tax-free.
  • Strategy C
    Growth Stock SelectionFocused positions in semiconductor, AI, and inbound tourism stocks. Capital gains from these are the most valuable NISA use case — a 10× gain in a taxable account means 20% goes to tax. In NISA, you keep 100% of the gain.
Dividend Strategy
Stable ★★★
Tax-free income every year. Great for supplementing monthly cash flow.
ETF Strategy
Simple ★★★
Low cost, broad diversification. Set-and-forget friendly.
Growth Stock
High Return ★★
Best NISA use for large capital gains. Higher risk profile.
