Why Japan? Lessons from the Past, Opportunities for the Future

Shuhei Abe presented his in-depth investment thesis at Japan Investing Summit 2012.

Japanese investing pioneer Shuhei Abe, CEO of SPARX Group, will share decades of insights to explain what has worked for investors in Japan, what hasn’t, and what is likely to work in the future. Having built SPARX from scratch in the 1980s into Asia’s pre-eminent asset management firm, Shuhei Abe will reveal the secrets of his success over the years in a market where many have failed. You will get an inside view into the opportunity set in Japan across various investment strategies, as well as gain an appreciation for how the Japanese opportunity compares to Korea and other Asian markets where SPARX is active.
