Moderated By:

Alicia Ogawa

Director, Project on Japanese Corporate Governance and Stewardship, Center on Japanese Economy and Business, Columbia Business School

What you'll learn:

  • The Japanese stock market has long been known as a "value trap." Even today, more than 50% of companies listed on the stock exchange are trading at prices below their book value. Is this beginning to change?
  • In the past, shareholders had few incentives or opportunities to encourage companies to be more productive. Have new rules sponsored by the government succeeded in putting pressure on Japanese CEOs?
  • Japan is now the new global center of shareholder activism. Two strategies dominate: public attacks on managers coupled with aggressive shareholder proposals and quiet, behind-the-scenes negotiations. Which method is more likely to succeed?

About the Speaker:

David Baran has over 30 years of experience investing in Japanese equities. He takes lead responsibility for market-related analysis and investment assessment. Prior to forming Symphony, he held senior management positions at Lehman Brothers, Goldman Sachs, and Barclays Capital in Tokyo, where he developed and managed Japanese equities and equity derivative proprietary trading strategies and activities. He moved to the buy side to establish and manage the Japanese public and private equity investment activities of a U.S.-based hedge fund.

Mr. Baran graduated cum laude with a B.A. in political economy from the University of California, Berkeley and an M.I.A. in international finance from Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs (1987). He has lived in Japan for over 30 years and is fluent in Japanese.
