Private Equity fund managers in Japan have for a long time felt as though a
dam was poised to burst and release a torrent of deals: Perhaps because of the
government's protective instincts when it comes to allowing companies to fail,
change has been slow coming. It seems though that the recent global financial
crisis might be the impetus investors have been looking for: Japanese companies,
recognising the limitations of their domestic markets, have set their sights on
distant horizons, seeking to transplant successful Japanese businesses into
overseas markets. Japanese investors meanwhile are similarly looking outward for
returns from the "alternative" asset classes, including private equity as well
as real estate and infrastructure. Innovation technology has also received lots
of investor interest in the past year, due to the newly set up government PE
fund manager – INCJ.

The annual meeting in China looks into a new chapter of the China PE story,
against the backdrop of signs of global recovery and local developments for
foreign and RMB funds. It examines the change of capital flow (specifically with
the potential retreat of stimulus measures), its interaction with fundraising
and a focused list of issues that LPs concern about investing in China. The
forum furthers studies if we are heading in the right direction in the way we
forge deals in deal sourcing, valuation and portfolio management in China. Deal
diversification in terms of sectors and geographies are explored, and the
momentum and future of Growth Capital debated. We review the possible exits and
new ones (in particular, the ChiNext board) in China. Last but not least, we
investigate the changing ecosystem of foreign funds and RMB funds, especially as
benefited/affected by recent regulatory moves.
