Japan Active/Passive Barometer Report 2025

Key Trends Shaping Japan’s Fund Landscape in 2025


The Active/Passive Barometer evaluates active funds against a composite of passive funds, rather than a costless index, to reflect the net-of-fees performance available to investors. It considers how the average active fund has performed relative to the average passive fund. 


Our latest edition of the Japan Active/Passive Barometer report focuses on open-end funds and exchange-traded funds available to Japanese investors. Our analysis covers a universe of 1,607 active and passive funds as of June 2025.
