Japan Private Equity Industry Trends and Drivers
The private equity landscape in Japan is growing despite corporate governance reforms, plentiful take‑private and carve‑out opportunities, and finance that is both cheap and plenty. Quarterly deal volume is presently achieving unprecedented levels with continued interest not just from global sponsors but domestic funds as well. The greatest momentum is occurring in take‑privates, corporate divestitures and buyouts arising from succession planning or management change. Various factors impacting favourable deal conditions are initiatives by the Tokyo Stock Exchange, datapoint pressure from shareholders, and enormous pools of aggregate under‑valued and/or non‑core assets held by corporates across industrials, consumer, tech and health sectors. Fundraising and deployment also benefit from policy levers available to governments and regulators including asset manager attraction activities, broadening retail participation in alternative investment279 opportunities, fuelling performance demand, and easing operational frictions. Exit opportunities have rebounded as strategic backers return and sponsors look to reinvest capital into higher conviction theses.
As with any market, the regulatory environment must also be understood and managed in the pursuit of live opportunities as it relates to inbound dealmaking. In Japan, this environment consists of filings and waiting times under the FEFTA, and monitoring of disclosure and tender offer rules under the FIEA (and FERC for takeovers), and JFTC merger acts on price control provisions. In this environment, investment considerations must be carefully sequenced in consideration of permitting requirements or prohibition, including areas of evolving guidance that has made institutional engagement easier and that clarifies consortium and derivative reporting. Capital markets also add favourability including the willingness of banks to finance LBOs, a soft currency that improves purchasing power for foreign sponsors, and increasing acceptance of unsolicited offers under changes to takeover guidelines (while boards always want to get their bidders/viewers to enhance value). In general terms, for sponsors, combining operational value creation with governance enhancements, and carve‑out execution and establishment of runway, is very favourable in the Japanese PE evolved market.
