Trading unit

The smallest block you can buy or sell

In detail

Listed Japanese stocks normally trade in units of 100 shares. At ¥1,000 a share, that means ¥100,000 minimum. Some brokers offer odd-lot services that let you buy fewer, but those shares usually come with limits, such as no voting rights.

Example

One unit of a stock trading at ¥4,500 costs ¥450,000.
