The Japan Times’ Post

There’s never been a more popular time to be an #activist investor in #Japan. For activists, the country has always been seen as fertile but dangerous ground, full of #cash-rich companies that trade at extreme discounts. But for years, a closed-off business world resisted outsiders, making the strategy an exercise in frustration. That has changed as the Japan - The Government of Japan and the Tokyo Stock Exchange have aligned to push corporate Japan to pay more attention to shareholder returns. International hedge funds like Elliott Investment Management L.P. and home-grown investors such as Strategic Capital, Inc. have turned the country into the world’s second-largest market for activists, outstripped only by the US.

When DHS Ventures & Holdings looks at investing in Japan it does so by studying the political stability, stringent corporate governance and low valuations make it an excellent time to invest in the Japanese market. But not having exposure to Japanese equities deprives investors of a market that can provide strong dividend income and relative stability to investors Most of the largest and best capitalized Japanese stocks can be bought and sold through American Depository Receipts (ADRs). These receipts are either listed on major U.S. exchanges like the NASDAQ and New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), or they trade in the U.S. over-the-counter (OTC) stock market A good way for individuals to invest in Japan is to purchase shares in Japanese mutual funds. To maximize Japanese investment opportunities, you should choose active, rather than passive, mutual funds.
