Last week I was in Tokyo to attend the AIF APAC 2024 Japanese Investors' Roundtable. It was very successful as many major officials from GP, LP, and academics participated and discussed major issues in pension and alternative investment markets in such a free and active discussion format. I was very impressed by the perspective that asset management has become indispensable as well as semiconductor manufacturing to the future of Japan. #ASSETMANAGMENT #AIFAPAC #ALTERNATIVEINVESTMENT https://lnkd.in/gfNpx8RQ

A few intensive weeks, meeting many Swedish global companies, talking at various M&A events, as well as our own Corporate M&A Roundtable, has provided a few recurring topics: 1) The role of the M&A team keeps broadening, into portfolio management and supply chain resilience etc. 2) M&A outlook blurred by * few structured auctions relative to bilateral processes, * IPO window still closed but opening * still considerable gaps in valuation bring many processes to a halt 3) M&A sell-side/carveout an increasingly important tool to finance investments in core business and AI/newTech 4) US buyers finding EU Target attractive at lower multiples, whilst EU companies look to US to expand presence on-site Brave new world!

𝗛𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗲 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗝𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗻: 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝟳-𝗘𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻’𝘀 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗠𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗠&𝗔 The M&A landscape in Japan is shifting, as seen in 7-Eleven's rejection of an unsolicited purchase proposal. Notably, the rejection was due to the price offered, signaling that Japanese firms are becoming more open to such deals if the terms are right. With increasing shareholder activism and pressure from global investors, Japan’s traditionally conservative corporate culture is adapting. This trend could transform M&A opportunities for investment banks, who must now navigate more complex and competitive transactions. For investment bankers, this evolution represents new possibilities. M&A activity involving Japan’s iconic brands may intensify, as global investors push for restructurings and divestitures. Hostile takeovers could become more frequent, creating demand for advisory services that help businesses defend against unsolicited bids or consider restructuring options.
