Japan is becoming one of Asia’s most closely watched private markets, but the more important question for institutional investors is how alternatives fit into a portfolio built to deliver durable returns over the long term.
As Japanese pensions reassess portfolios shaped by decades of low rates, where do private equity, private credit, and other alternatives now belong, and how should investors balance return, liquidity, and risk?
Join the fireside session – The Japanese LP perspective: Alternatives, liquidity and the search for durable returns – at the LP, Liquidity & Secondaries Forum on the first day of the Asia PE-VC Summit 2026 (Sept 23-24).
Drawing on more than three decades in investment and risk management, Yoshi Kiguchi, Chief Investment Officer of the Pension Fund of Japanese Corporations, will offer an allocator’s view on where conviction is building and what could shape the next phase of Japanese capital in private markets.
Across the two days, the summit also features fireside chats and keynote sessions with Prof. Shaojie Shen, CEO, Zhuoyu Technology (ZYT); Vishal Mahadevia, Head of Asia Private Equity and Global Co-Head of Financial Services, Warburg Pincus; Oki Ramadhana, CEO, Indonesia Investment Authority; and Kayse Foo, Head, Dana Impak, Khazanah Nasional Berhad.
