Exploring Japan's Evolving Investment Landscape: Opportunities For Asset Managers

This article forms part of a series of articles examining the opportunities Japan presents for investment managers. It focusses on the opportunities presented by Japanese institutional and retail investors.

Japanese investors are progressively increasing their exposure to private equity, private credit, infrastructure, real estate and other alternative asset classes (collectively "Alternative Investments").

The move towards Alternative Investments is influenced by a combination of factors, including the reemergence of inflation to Japan, the pursuit of higher yields and the implications of a declining population.
