The 14th Annual Japan Investment Forum is the most influential gathering of Japanese pension funds, insurance companies, trust banks and investment advisers in Japan.
Speakers at the 2019 Forum will break down emerging asset classes and alternative investment strategies available to investors. These approaches will vary from: moving up the yield curve by allocating to assets like preferred securities and high yield bonds; gaining exposure to risk factors instead of traditional asset classes; allocating to illiquid assets like real estate and infrastructure; and designing more flexible investment mandates.
Representatives from the Ministry of Finance, Bank of Japan and Japan Financial Services Agency will also be in attendance to share the views from their respective institutions.
All discussions are governed by Chatham House Rule. The event is closed to media and by invitation only to senior fund decision makers, ensuring frank, productive discussions and an effective exchange of ideas.
