Why would expect the Nikkei 225 to provide similar returns to the S&P 500? Company quality varies greatly between these indexes.

Why would you expect them to be different?

Can you elaborate on that? Has the "company quality" differed between the two indexes 30 years ago and was the market mispricing it? Is the market pricing these indexes correctly now? Do you think the S&P 500 is going to provide better results than Nikkei 225 going forward?

Japan has a population of 125 million people and is one of the largest economies in the world (3rd / 4th largest depending on if you're using GDP or PPP).
Why wouldn't they have similar companies?
Lots of well known global brands in Glorious Nippon, too.
