ETFs allow for low-cost investment across various global assets and are garnering attention as investment targets within NISA; as of the end of December 2025, the total net assets of ETFs reached approximately 110 trillion yen, an increase of about 1.5 times compared to the end of 2023, before the launch of the new NISA (*2). By adding ETFs to the "Kabu-Pita®" tradable assets, customers can now trade ETFs, which previously could only be traded in units of one share, with small amounts starting from 100 yen. This makes it possible to combine ETFs for stocks, bonds, and commodities more flexibly according to one's budget, realizing easy diversified investment via ETFs.
At Rakuten Securities, which boasts the number one number of NISA accounts (*3), the utilization rate of NISA accounts is approximately 80% (*4), indicating high usage by many customers. To enable customers to utilize the NISA system—which has a set investment limit—more flexibly and efficiently than ever before, the company launched the "Kabu-Pita® (amount-specified trading)" service in July 2025, allowing customers to trade domestic stocks by specifying a desired amount rather than a number of shares. Because this service allows for trading starting from 100 yen in 1-yen increments, it is possible not only to trade with small amounts but also to utilize the annual 2.4 million yen limit of the NISA growth investment quota without waste. Additionally, all assets eligible for "Kabu-Pita®" can be purchased using only "Rakuten Points," allowing customers to begin investing without using cash. It is also possible to continue building assets while receiving dividends (*5), which has been well-received by customers.
