So what's the hold-up? Japanese fund managers are slow to buy stocks in the rest of Asia
Article Abstract:
Japanese investment in Asian stocks has been slow for the past decade, but signs suggest a recent increase will accelerate. Japan has huge current-account surpluses to invest, and an aging population that will need a better return on its retirement money. However, the yen has soared over the past 10 years, only recently faltering. Most offshore flows have been to higher-yielding bonds outside Asia, or to direct investment within Asia. Asia's share of Japanese equity investments rose from 4.4% in 1986 to 40.3% in 1994.
