    • Abstract:
      GIC Pte, a Singaporean sovereign wealth fund, is looking to engage more with Japanese companies following governance reforms in Japan. The fund sees opportunities in the Japanese market due to the governance overhaul and the end of deflation. GIC plans to expand its team focused on deals related to Japan and expects the pipeline to grow. Japanese stocks have surged to a record this year, partly due to pressure on companies to boost shareholder returns. GIC is particularly interested in entertainment companies with intellectual property related to gaming and anime. The fund actively engages with companies to find solutions and strategies for growth. GIC also believes that the Japanese real estate market is fundamentally good, deep, liquid, and transparent. The fund is not impacted by foreign-exchange considerations and invests based on long-term potential. [Extracted from the article]
