Olympus, Daio Paper, AIJ, Kyushu Electric... 2011 was a busy year for corporate scandals in Japan. Policymakers have called for improvements in corporate governance, fearing that foreign money will desert the market. In addition, Japan's renewed focus on corporate governance is expanding into a broader discussion: How can we raise investment returns? What are foreign investors most concerned about? And are they in fact deserting the Japanese stock market, or is this just normal ebbs and flows?

A panel of the most experienced representatives and advisors of foreign portfolio investment in Japan will gather to try to answer some of these questions and more. The CCCJ and the Board Director Training Institute of Japan (BDTI) will host the panel, and Nicholas Benes, Representative Director of the BDTI, will moderate. CCCJ will donate 3,000 yen of each ticket to BDTI. BDTI is a non-profit incorporated association dedicated to improving corporate governance and related management processes in Japan.
