Japan Private Equity Industry Trends and Drivers

The private equity market in Japan is evolving rapidly as international investors appreciate the potential of Japan. We are seeing an unprecedented level of deal flow due to various factors such as corporate restructuring, aging company owners planning succession, and government-led corporate governance reforms. Foreign private equity firms have invested in Japan, because both private equity multiples, as well as private equity investment returns, have historically lagged behind the returns for other developed markets, and there is finally evolving acceptance of alternative models of ownership, as well as management in corporations that have been conservative to date. The market is particularly active in parts of the economy that are being disrupted, such as technology, healthcare, and business services, where there are substantial operational improvement opportunities.

There have been a number of take-private transactions in listed public companies as private equity firms realize Japanese corporations typically trade at very low market valuation multiples. The presence of succession-oriented deals in smaller to mid-cap companies continues to provide a stream of opportunities where change is slowly developing, particularly in regions away from Tokyo. Japanese institutional investors are allocating more capital to private equity investments in Japan and globally to achieve yield in a new low-persistent interest rate environment. This is gradually changing the fundraising, but there is significant international capital in global buyout funds. There is also beneficial exit environments from various forms of trade sales, as well as listing of shares in public companies.
