\"what<\/p>\n

The tech industry is the largest sector weighted on the Nikkei index, followed by other industries involved in consumer products, transportation and utilities. You can buy individual shares via your broker or track the index by investing in a tracker fund or an exchange-traded fund (ETF). Nikkei 500 consists of 500 companies from various sectors, making it a more diverse and broader representation of the Japanese stock market. To trade these ETFs, you must open an account with a brokerage that lets you buy and sell investments not listed on a U.S. exchange. Fidelity Investments is one of the discount brokers that offer international trading accounts.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
