The role of private equity in the economy has come under increasing scrutiny over the past several years, especially in the U.S. with presidential candidate Mitt Romney's background at a leading U.S. private equity firm. In Japan as well, private equity has been viewed with skepticism, sometimes being labeled as hagetaka (vulture) funds. Yet academic studies have indicated that private equity contributes to economic growth, and private equity firms are a significant force in the Japanese M&A market.
In this program, our panelists will discuss topics including:
Are the roles of private equity and foreign direct investment in promoting economic growth similar?
- Increased efficiency
- Introduction of new ideas, management and capital
Are criticisms of private equity valid in Japan?
- Allegations of excess leverage
- Allegations that private equity results in job losses
- Allegations that private equity privatizes gains and socializes losses
Does private equity contribute to foreign direct investment?
- Are Japanese companies more likely to sell to private equity than to a foreign buyer?
- Are Japanese private equity firms selling assets to foreign buyers?
- Does increased private equity activity result in additional foreign direct investment?
- Can the private equity industry help improve corporate governance in Japan?
Are there opportunities for strategic acquirers to cooperate with private equity on inbound investments?
- What are the benefits?
- What are the risks?
How can private equity be successful in Japan?
- What is done differently than in other countries?
- How do non-Japanese private equity firms view the Japanese market?
