Dear Valued Client,

The hedge fund industry in Japan is experiencing an unprecedented period of growth. Many foreign investors are using hedge funds to invest in Japanese capital markets. While many attractive opportunities exist, it can be challenging for foreign investors to identify the best strategies and conduct due diligence, due to language barriers and cultural differences.

Hosted by Tricor Japan  and  Japan's Financial Services Agency (JFSA), part 5 of our Market Expansion Webinar Series will provide an overview of hedge funds in Japan, including its equity and derivatives markets, recent stock exchange reforms, as well as relevant regulations and tax matters.

We will also introduce the Financial Start-up Support Program, which is designed to ease entity set up for foreign finance professionals, from registration and hiring to immigration and relocation.
