Investment limits for NISA and New Nisa enquiry.

Post by David Cardinal »

Im about to Open a NISA investment account.
I’m a little unclear about the investment limits for NISA accounts.
I see the investment limit is 1.2 million yen. Does this mean I can invest an additional 1.2 million each year, ie Year 2, have 2.4 million invested, Year 3, 3.6million, etc. or is the maximum 1.2 million to reinvest each year?

I recommend you open a Tsumitate NISA this year. You can invest ¥400k this year which will be tax free for 20 years.

From next year the system is changing. Your account will be automatically migrated to the new system and you'll get a new allowance for new investments from next year.

Reasoning for the above recommendation and further details are on the wiki:
