The Japan Global Investment Workshop is a gathering of the most influential Japanese pension funds, insurance companies, trust banks and investment advisers. The Workshop examines the challenges facing Japanese investors and seeks to identify the best investment opportunities available to them.
Investors who are able to effectively manage risk, identify new investment ideas, and run dynamic portfolios domestically and internationally, will be well positioned to capture strong returns despite difficult market conditions.
All discussions at the Workshop are governed by Chatham House Rule. The event is closed to media and by invitation only to senior fund decision-makers. This ensures open and productive discussions with an effective exchange of ideas among peers.
