Bridging the Value Gap in Japan
Exclusive Event in Tokyo, Japan
This is an exclusive reception to mark the launch of the inaugural 2025 Investor Survey Report, developed by Kekst CNC in partnership with SquareWell Partners.
At a time when global capital is returning to Japan at historic levels, the report reveals what institutional investors managing more than USD 22 trillion in assets expect from Japanese corporates in terms of governance, strategy, and leadership.
The event will host a panel discussion on how Japanese corporates can meet rising investor expectations through effective strategic dialogue, set against the backdrop of governance reforms and growing global interest. Afterwards, guests will have the opportunity to network over dinner and drinks.
The panel will feature Ryushiro Kodaira, Editorial Writer and Senior Staff Writer at Nikkei, Minako Otani, Partner at Kekst CNC in Tokyo and Ali Saribas, Partner at SquareWell Partners. Together, wewill explore pressing questions such as:
- How can Japanese companies better articulate long-term strategies that resonate with global investors?
- What does credible and transparent succession planning look like in practice?
- How can leadership teams and outside directors foster more meaningful dialogue with investors?
- What role do timely and clear disclosures – financial, governance, and ESG – play in building trust?
- How can English-language disclosures become more timely and effective in supporting investor understanding?
Admission is complimentary and by invitation only, with registrations accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. Guests are welcome to share this invitation with interested colleagues. Please note this event will be held under Chatham House Rule.
