RareCoinShop (operated by Comboy Switch Co., Ltd., Chuo-ku, Fukuoka) participated in the Asset Management EXPO【Summer】, Japan’s largest investment event, held at Tokyo Big Sight in May 2026. At our booth, we collaborated with in-house investor Kazumi Hayama to present, based on objective data, the effectiveness of certified antique coins as complementary tangible assets amid macroeconomic trends such as persistent inflation and currency instability. Here, we report on the event’s success and the latest trends in asset protection.
About the Asset Management EXPO
Held three times a year, the Asset Management EXPO is Japan’s largest investment event, founded on the concept of “providing everyone with opportunities to enrich their lives through asset management.” It attracts over 30,000 visitors annually, ranging from investment beginners to experienced individuals and those considering starting asset management.
This edition featured numerous seminars led by renowned economists and celebrities, with various investment product providers exhibiting booths. It served as a valuable opportunity for attendees to consult directly with professionals.
Background of Participation: Economic Trends in 2026 and the Need for Asset Protection
As of 2026, the cost of imports remains high due to global supply chain restructuring, and domestic prices continue to rise, increasing the difficulty of preserving asset purchasing power. Additionally, stock market volatility (price fluctuation range) is expanding due to speculation around AI-related stocks and interest rate movements by central banks worldwide. Digital assets, including cryptocurrencies, are also experiencing heightened price swings.
Against this backdrop, interest in tangible assets—whose value has low correlation with traditional financial assets—is growing. As a specialist group, we continue to exhibit to promote transparent price formation and accurate knowledge in the market.
Verification and Objective Evidence at the RareCoinShop Booth
At our booth, we hosted individual consultation sessions on asset management and inheritance, and disclosed historical overseas auction market data and grade-specific statistics on existing coin quantities from third-party authentication agencies.
The free “Special Guidebook to the World of Antique Coins” distributed to visitors logically explained the grading systems of major certification bodies (PCGS/NGC) and the historical basis for price resilience. Mini-seminars, held hourly at the booth, attracted standing-room-only crowds daily, demonstrating strong real demand for tangible assets among investors seeking reliable data in uncertain market conditions.
Proposal to Investors: Limiting Downside Risk and the Mechanism of Inflation Hedging
The greatest feature of antique coin investment lies in its unique supply-demand balance: supply (existing quantity) cannot physically increase in response to demand fluctuations. As historical long-term price data shows, this characteristic has enabled antique coins to maintain and preserve asset value during inflationary periods and market turmoil.
Antique coins require no special maintenance or advanced trading skills, making them accessible for robust asset protection—from beginners to institutional investors such as hedge funds. By incorporating antique coins into a portfolio, we propose a strategy to reduce overall asset volatility and maintain long-term purchasing power, supported by neutral, objective data.
