This year's ETF Conference was a success, with many industry professionals from Japan and abroad visiting the venue. ETFs, which first appeared overseas in the 1990s, have become an important investment product in Japan as a low-cost investment product. We hope that the next conference will be even more successful and contribute to the expansion of the ETF market.
