I did a quick search here and came up empty handed.
Obviously on a browser we can use rikai-chan or riaki-kun which tend to be OK for basic terms at least. Less so for 4 kanji compounds and product names.
Obviously a simple google will provide links to weblio which isn't always ideal.
So I wondered if anyone had a glossary of financial terms, with the English equivalent term, they could recommend?
I suspect others are aware, but I've just stumbled upon https://www.glossary.jp/sec/
"証券取引用語集"
So I'm feeling all Doctor Livingstone quite frankly.
They seem to consistently have the English translation of the term. This provides a decent jumping off point if I don't want to work my way through the Japanese definition. (Which will probably require me looking up at least 3 other terms as I'm such a noob.).
You can search from within the site, with results by category, newly added, etc. Or search from a browser. E.g.
株式組入比率 site:http://www.glossary.jp/sec/
Just to see if they have it.
Now all I need is someone to link all the English terms therein to their respective pages in Investopedia.
And maybe fix up their spelling a bit:

Keen to hear if people have other (read "better") solutions.

Re: English Glossary of Japanese financial terminology
rikai-chan or riaki-kun use JMDict which anyone can submit edits to here.
glossary.jp seems to be copyrighted, so we can't add that information unfortunately. But it's worth updating JMDict if you find a useful word that's missing.

Thanks adamu! I’d never even thought to submit an edit to JMDict. That’s speaking as someone that owes their JPLT 二級 to Jim Breen!
