Japan's stock markets have experienced significant volatility recently, driven by a rebounding yen and concerns over global growth. Despite this, the Nikkei 225 Index and the broader TOPIX Index managed to recoup much of their initial losses by the end of last week. In such a fluctuating environment, stocks with high insider ownership can be particularly appealing. These companies often exhibit strong alignment between management and shareholder interests, which can be crucial for navigating market uncertainties.
