2025 Investor Survey Report Reception (London, UK)

Global Investors' Expectations on Japanese Companies 2025 Investor Survey Report Reception (London, UK)

Together with CLSA, we are delighted to invite you to an exclusive event 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 23 trillion in assets expect from Japanese corporates in terms of governance, strategy, and leadership.
The event will host keynote speeches, sharing of the results, and 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 bites and drinks.

Together with a keynote speaker, there will be a panel. Together, they will explore pressing questions such as:

  • How can Japanese companies better articulate long-term strategies that resonate with global investors?
  • How can global investors overcome the cultural divide to engage effectively with Japanese management and boards?
  • How can leadership teams and outside directors foster more meaningful dialogue with investors?
  • What role do timely and clear disclosures – financial, governance, and sustainability – play in building trust?
  • How can English-language disclosures become more timely and effective in supporting investor understanding?

RSVP: Kindly confirm your attendance by Friday, November 14th through this registration form. 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.
