#LongStoryShort: Private equity finds opportunity in Japan’s family business succession crunch. Japanese business owners are turning to private equity to sell their business, in response to the country’s aging population, a lack of willing heirs and the world’s highest inheritance taxes. As a result, deal value in the Japanese private equity space has now surpassed $20 billion for the last four years in a row, most recently leaping 30% on a year-on-year basis. The movement isn’t slowing down either. More than 65% of buyout activity is now associated with succession cases and one third of all Japanese companies are set to have no successor by 2025, according to Neuberger Berman and the World Economic Forum. Regulatory and macro forces are also fuelling the expansion, CNBC report. Government reforms from 2015 require listed companies to appoint independent directors and improve their returns on equity. Weaker yen, which has fallen 4% against the dollar this year, and comparatively low interest rates are therefore attracting the attention of PE investors. Can PE continue to play a pivotal role in succession challenges in the coming years? #PrivateEquity #PrivateMarkets #Alternatives #Investing #Japan Source:  https://lnkd.in/gK_dMnZs
