Introducing 'The Long-Term Investor's Mindset'

On May 14, a compelling new book titled 'The Long-Term Investor's Mindset: Increasing Assets and Enriching Society' by Ryo Sawakami, the representative of Japan's first independent direct investment trust, Sawakami Investment, will be released. This book promises to guide both novice and seasoned investors through the turbulent financial markets we are currently experiencing.

As the global market faces unprecedented challenges, including trade policies from US President Donald Trump that have sent shockwaves through economies, many investors in Japan have already felt the sting of a market drop, most notably when the Nikkei average plunged following the announcement of mutual tariffs on April 7. For those who have just begun investing under the newly implemented NISA (Nippon Individual Savings Account), witnessing a declining market can evoke fear and uncertainty, tempting many to consider stepping back from investing altogether.

However, just like many things in life, the fear associated with investment often stems from the unknown. The reality is, once investors understand the mechanisms behind market movements, they can devise strategies to address their concerns. In 'The Long-Term Investor's Mindset', Ryo Sawakami elucidates these complex economic mechanisms while emphasizing a fundamental response to market volatility that transcends short-term thinking.

His aim is to help readers cultivate a resilient investment mindset that remains steadfast in the face of market upheaval. This book serves as a vital resource for anyone who aspires to develop a sound investment philosophy, ultimately enabling them to navigate through the current market chaos with confidence.
