Nikkei Money and TV Osaka Explo will jointly host the personal investor-focused asset management and IR event, 'Nikkei Money Asset Management & IR Forum in Kansai 2026,' on July 11 (Saturday) and 12 (Sunday), 2026, at Herbis Hall in Umeda, Osaka.

In recent years, rising inflation, soaring stock prices, increasing interest rates, and the expansion of the new NISA system have heightened public interest in asset formation.

This event offers a one-stop opportunity to gather the latest information on asset formation, covering equities, real estate, alternative investments, and IR (investor relations).
