Japanese Business Leaders Pledge $3.4 Billion Worth Of Investments For The Philippines

The Philippines, which is already struggling with weak economic growth, high fuel prices and rapid inflation, got a boost thanks to Japanese business leaders who pledged investments worth $3.4 billion for the country, according to a news report by GMA News.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the news report of GMA News. Some parts in boldface…

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Wednesday secured stronger commitments for deeper economic integration during a high-level roundtable meeting with top Japanese business executives at the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo.

In his meeting with leaders of Japan’s largest conglomerates and financial institutions, Marcos bagged an aggregate investment commitment of $3.4 billion (approximately P210 billion) from participating Japanese corporations.

In a statement, the Presidential Communications Office (PCO) said these combined capital inflows are “projected to catalyze substantive macroeconomic benefits, expanding domestic industrial capacity and directly generating thousands of high-quality, specialized jobs for Filipinos.”

The PCO added that the infusion “underscores the resilience of the Philippine market, promising long-term economic dividends by fortifying local supply chains, upgrading tourism infrastructure, and accelerating technology transfers across critical growth sectors.”

The President is in Tokyo for a four-day state visit upon the invitation of the Japanese government.

In his remarks, Marcos said a robust Philippine-Japan economic corridor is critical and that laying the groundwork for an enhanced, unified partnership is essential to navigate global difficulties, build resilience, and sustain momentum.

“As we mark 70 years of the normalization of our diplomatic relations, we are no longer simply commemorating history. We are entering a new chapter – a chapter defined not only by friendship, but by deeper integration, shared growth, and a common belief in the future,” the President told the leaders of Japan’s largest conglomerates and financial institutions.

He outlined a unified government approach spearheaded by the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and the Department of Tourism (DOT).

“The Philippines is pursuing a clear national direction: building an economy where infrastructure, industry, finance, human capital, and connectivity move together as one system of growth,” Marcos said.

“Increasingly, we recognize that trade and tourism will be among the most important engines of that growth.”

He underscored the importance of stronger trade and tourism linkages, saying these are not supporting sectors but “core drivers of economic expansion in the Philippines moving forward.”

“This is a philosophy our two countries understand deeply,” the President said.

He also acknowledged the foundational contributions of several Japanese firms operating in the Philippines, such as All Nippon Airways, Toyota, Mitsubishi Corporation, Marubeni, Panasonic, and Fast Retailing.

He thanked these Japanese investors for their continued confidence in the Philippine economy and for helping create high-quality opportunities for Filipino workers and industries.

“You are no longer just investors in our economy. You are builders of it,” Marcos told the Japanese business leaders.

Let me end this piece by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this development? Do you think the $3.4 billion investment pledge by Japanese corporations will be a huge boost for the Philippines’ economy? Do you consider the ties of Japan and the Philippines healthy today?

What Is the New Issue Puzzle?

Every few years, a flashy company goes public and the financial media goes into a frenzy. The stock pops 30%, 50%, sometimes more on the first day of trading. Retail investors rush in, not wanting to miss out. And then, over the following months and years, the stock quietly disappoints.

This pattern has a name in academic finance: the New Issue Puzzle. Understanding it can save you from one of the most seductive traps in investing.

The Origins of the Term

The phrase “New Issue Puzzle” comes from a landmark 1995 paper by finance researchers Tim Loughran and Jay Ritter published in the Journal of Finance. They studied companies that went public between 1970 and 1990 and found something striking: stocks of newly issued companies significantly underperformed comparable non-issuing firms over the five years following their IPO.

The average annual return for IPO firms over that five-year window was roughly 5 percent, while non-issuing firms of similar size delivered considerably better results. The researchers calculated that an investor would have needed to put 44 percent more money into IPO stocks than into comparable non-issuers just to end up with the same wealth five years later. They called this a puzzle because it seemed to contradict the idea that markets price securities efficiently.

Two Sides of the Same Coin

To understand the New Issue Puzzle fully, you need to understand that it actually has two distinct components that seem, on the surface, to contradict each other.

The first is initial underpricing. When a company goes public, the IPO offer price is typically set below where the stock will trade when markets open. This is partly intentional. Investment banks and underwriters tend to price conservatively to attract buyers and generate excitement. The result is the famous “first day pop,” where shares surge above the offer price almost immediately. Research covering US IPOs between 2000 and 2020 found an average positive first-day return of over 21 percent.

The second is long-term underperformance. After that initial burst of enthusiasm fades, IPO stocks as a group tend to lag the broader market for years. This is the core of the puzzle. How can a security be both underpriced at launch and overvalued shortly after? The answer lies in investor psychology.

Why Companies Go Public When They Do

One of the more important insights from the research on this topic is that companies are not randomly distributed across time when they choose to go public. They tend to cluster into what researchers call “hot issue markets,” periods when investor demand is high, valuations are elevated, and the public is hungry for new growth stories.

This timing is not coincidental. Companies and their financial backers are sophisticated. When they see that the market will pay a premium for new shares, they take advantage of it. From the company’s perspective, going public during a hot market is rational. From the investor’s perspective, buying during a hot market often means paying elevated prices for companies that have yet to prove their business models at scale.

The Psychology Behind the Pattern

Behavioral finance offers a compelling explanation for why the New Issue Puzzle exists. During periods of high IPO activity, excessive optimism among investors pushes prices above what the underlying business fundamentals support. The first-day pop amplifies this dynamic, creating a feedback loop where early gains attract more buyers who drive prices even higher before the eventual correction.

Researcher Hersh Shefrin, in his work on behavioral finance, pointed to heuristic-driven bias as a core mechanism. Investors anchor on recent performance, extrapolate from trends, and treat a company’s exciting narrative as a substitute for financial analysis. A compelling story about disrupting an industry can override disciplined thinking about valuation.

This is closely related to what the research literature calls the “divergence of opinion” problem. Newly public companies have limited price history and are informationally opaque. When opinions among investors vary widely about a stock’s true value, the most optimistic investors set the price, because pessimistic investors often sit out or face constraints on short selling. Over time, as reality reveals itself through earnings and cash flows, prices tend to drift toward fundamental value, and that drift is usually downward.

Newer Research Adds Nuance

Later academic work complicated the original Loughran-Ritter findings in interesting ways. Some researchers, using a different analytical framework developed by Eugene Fama and Kenneth French, found that the apparent underperformance largely disappears once you account for firm size and the ratio of book value to market value. In other words, IPO companies tend to be small, growth-oriented firms that would be expected to earn lower returns by certain models of risk and return.

Other researchers linked long-run IPO underperformance directly to the quality of the companies going public. Firms that enter public markets during hot periods tend to have weaker financials, thinner profit margins, and higher debt loads than established companies. The puzzle may be less about IPOs as a category and more about the fact that weak companies go public precisely when the window of opportunity is open.

Research has also tied IPO underperformance to what is called the idiosyncratic risk puzzle, which is the documented tendency of stocks with high company-specific volatility to earn lower returns than you might expect. IPO stocks are inherently volatile, and this volatility partially explains why they underperform as a group over the long run.

What This Means for Everyday Investors

The New Issue Puzzle is a case study in how market enthusiasm can separate investors from their money in a way that feels like opportunity. A few practical takeaways are worth keeping in mind.

First, the excitement around a high-profile IPO is rarely a reliable signal of future returns. The very factors that make an IPO newsworthy, such as a well-known brand, a charismatic founder, or a dramatic growth story, are often already priced in by the time regular investors can buy shares.

Second, trying to time the market around IPO activity is a form of speculation, not investing. Even if you successfully buy shares in an offering and capture a first-day gain, holding beyond that window has historically been a losing proposition for most investors as a group.

Third, the New Issue Puzzle is a good illustration of why a simple, low-cost S&P 500 index fund tends to outperform more exciting strategies over time. The index gives you broad exposure to established, profitable businesses without requiring you to evaluate speculative new entrants or navigate the psychological pressures that come with hot markets and media hype.

The Broader Lesson

Finance is full of puzzles, and the New Issue Puzzle is one of the more enduring ones. Researchers have debated its causes for decades without reaching a complete consensus. But the core observation remains robust: as a group, newly public companies have historically rewarded early Wall Street insiders far more than ordinary investors who bought in after the opening bell.

Understanding that history is one reason why reading broadly about investing matters. Books on money and financial history reveal patterns that repeat across decades, and those patterns are exactly the kind of thing that a financial advisor, research paper, or earnings report rarely explains in plain terms. The more you understand about how capital markets actually work, including their biases and inefficiencies, the better equipped you are to avoid the mistakes that cost most investors money.

Book Review: Misbehaving by Richard Thaler

Most personal finance advice assumes you are a rational actor. Save more than you spend. Invest early. Avoid debt. The logic is airtight. So why is it so hard to follow?

Misbehaving: The Making of Behavioral Economics by Richard Thaler argues that the problem isn’t a lack of information. It’s that humans are not the rational, self-interested agents that classical economics assumes we are. We are emotional, distracted, and predictably irrational. Understanding that about yourself is, oddly enough, one of the most practical things you can do for your finances.

Book Summary

Published in 2015, Misbehaving is part memoir, part manifesto for a field that Thaler helped build from the ground up. The book traces the history of behavioral economics, a discipline that blends psychology and economics to explain why people make the financial decisions they actually make rather than the ones they theoretically should.

Thaler walks readers through decades of research, much of it conducted alongside collaborators like Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky. He introduces concepts like mental accounting, the endowment effect, and present bias, and shows how each one leads ordinary people to make financial choices that undermine their own goals. The book is accessible, often funny, and grounded in real-world examples ranging from the NFL draft to retirement savings behavior.

Who Is Richard Thaler?

Richard Thaler is a professor of behavioral science and economics at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. He is widely regarded as one of the founding figures of behavioral economics and won the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences in 2017 for his contributions to the field.

Thaler is also co-author, with Cass Sunstein, of Nudge, a book that applies behavioral economics to public policy and became influential in government circles around the world. His academic work spans loss aversion, intertemporal choice, and the psychology of decision-making under uncertainty. He is not a self-help guru or financial advisor. He is a researcher who spent decades trying to convince economists that real human behavior matters.

Key Lessons from the Book

Misbehaving is dense with insight, but a few lessons are particularly relevant to anyone trying to build better money habits.

The first is mental accounting. Thaler demonstrates that people treat money differently depending on where it came from or where it is mentally categorized. A tax refund feels like a windfall and gets spent freely, even though it’s the same money you earned throughout the year. Recognizing this tendency can help you make more deliberate decisions about how you allocate funds rather than letting psychological framing do it for you.

The second is the endowment effect. Once you own something, you value it more than you would if you didn’t own it. This has real implications for investors who hold losing positions too long because selling feels like a loss rather than a correction.

The third is present bias. People consistently overvalue what they can have right now versus what they could have in the future. This is one of the core reasons that saving for retirement is so psychologically difficult even when the math makes it obviously worthwhile. Thaler’s research contributed directly to the design of automatic enrollment in 401(k) plans, which work precisely because they use inertia to overcome present bias rather than fighting it.

The broader lesson is structural: if you design your financial life to account for your psychological weaknesses rather than pretending they don’t exist, you are more likely to succeed. Automating savings, using a high-yield savings account for your emergency fund so you’re at least earning something while the money sits, and setting up automatic investments into an S&P 500 index fund are all practical applications of this thinking. The system does the work so your in-the-moment self can’t undermine your long-term self.

Criticisms of the Book

Misbehaving is not without its weaknesses. The most common criticism is that the book is too long and self-congratulatory in places. Thaler spends considerable time recounting his own battles to get behavioral economics accepted within mainstream academia, and while that history is interesting, it can feel indulgent. Readers looking for a tighter read focused purely on actionable lessons may find the pacing uneven.

Some critics have also pointed out that behavioral economics, despite its insights, can be used paternalistically. Knowing that people are susceptible to nudges is a double-edged tool. Governments and corporations can use the same techniques Thaler champions to steer people toward outcomes that benefit institutions rather than individuals.

Finally, the book is stronger on diagnosis than prescription. Thaler is very good at explaining why people make bad decisions. He is less focused on giving readers a step-by-step framework for changing their behavior. Readers expecting a personal finance manual will need to do some of that work themselves.

Should You Buy This Book?

Yes, particularly if you have ever wondered why you know what you should do with your money but struggle to do it. Misbehaving gives you a vocabulary and a mental model for understanding the gap between intention and action. That understanding is genuinely useful.

It pairs well with other foundational books in the behavioral and personal finance space. If you have read Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman, Misbehaving is a natural complement. If you haven’t read either, Kahneman’s book may actually be the better starting point, as it covers the psychological foundations in more depth. But Thaler’s book is more personal, more narrative, and more focused on economics specifically.

If you are looking for a book that changes how you think about your own financial decision-making, Misbehaving is worth your time and the cost of the book.

Final Thoughts

The central argument of Misbehaving is simple and important: people are not rational, and pretending otherwise leads to bad policy, bad financial products, and bad personal outcomes. Thaler spent his career making that case within a discipline that initially resisted it, and the Nobel Prize suggests he was right.

For anyone interested in money, budgeting, and learning how psychology shapes financial behavior, this book belongs on the shelf. It won’t give you a budget template or a specific investment strategy. What it gives you is something more durable: a clearer picture of the mind you’re working with every time you make a financial decision.
