Overview

Offshore vehicles, principally formed in the Cayman Islands, have for some time been used in Japan to facilitate the issuance of a wide variety of debt and equity instruments, bonds and other types of products. These vehicles are frequently set up as "orphans" in order to achieve off balance sheet treatment.
