WHO'DA thunk it? Japanese companies became Asia's best-performing technology stocks in 2015, as the country often identified with fading electronics giants produced such stand-outs as Maple Story developer Nexon Co.
Nexon marked the fourth straight year that a Japanese game company has topped a list that encompasses Internet players and makers of semiconductors, displays and enterprise software. The maker of games for computers and smartphones climbed about 76 per cent, the biggest increase last year on the 111-member MSCI Asia Pacific Information Technology Index, excluding recently added Chinese American Depositary Receipts traded in New York.
